I would not except my passport with Trump picture on it, the same currency or stamps?!!
President Donald Trump, Republicans in Congress, his hand-picked appointees, and all manner of other allies have been doing their best to put Trump’s name, image and likeness all over the place.
Using taxpayer dollars, these efforts differ from Trump’s lifelong effort to put his name on privately owned buildings. They’re controversial in part because Trump is divisive and not currently very popular; his approval rating has recently been stuck in the 30s.
More importantly, the US more traditionally memorializes the dead with such honors. Placing the image of a sitting president on buildings and in such public government displays is often associated with kingdoms or authoritarian regimes.
Democrats, bristling at the Trump stamps, have introduced legislation to ban his name from being added to federal buildings or coins, but those efforts are likely to be stuck in Congress. So will GOP efforts to officially name more things after the president.
Some things have not yet been designated to carry his name, but if his planned addition of a massive ballroom to the White House gets built, one can imagine Trump will always view it as the Trump Wing of the White House. Same goes for the triumphal arch Trump wants to put adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery.
The 250th anniversary of US independence is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in the Trump memorialization efforts. The term for 250th anniversary is “semiquincentennial,” FYI.
Here’s a partial list of what’s being done (or attempted) to officially stamp the country on Trump’s behalf.
