President Trump on Friday<\/span> unveiled the latest rendering of a special edition US passport to commemorate America\u2019s 250th birthday that features a large image of himself hovering over the Resolute Desk, the latest in a series of plans to place Trump front and center of the anniversary. <\/p>

But it\u2019s the warning that will accompany the new passports that\u2019s prompting a new kind of stress: \u201cWelcome, but be good!\u201d<\/p>\n

The message instantly called into question Trump\u2019s understanding of a passport, which is primarily obtained so that American citizens can leave the United States and travel abroad\u2014no welcome needed. It seems likely that Trump was conflating a US passport with a visa. Either that or he feels a knee-jerk inclination to inject anti-immigrant, xenophobic themes into everything he does. Both feel too possible.<\/p>

Meanwhile, the State Department hasn\u2019t confirmed the new design. But American citizens with plans to obtain or renew their passports this summer may want to steer clear of the Washington Passport Agency. As CNN reported when an earlier rendering was released in April, the limited edition passport will be the \u201cdefault option\u201d at the DC processing center. \u201cOnline options or other locations will maintain existing passport design,\u201d an official told CNN.<\/p>
