This State Department decision to plaster Donald Trump’s face on commemorative passports for America’s 250th birthday is a blatant misuse of federal power for political idolatry. The announcement of these limited-edition passports, marking our nation’s founding, reeks of partisan propaganda rather than a unifying celebration of our shared history. Politically, it’s a dangerous precedent—turning a symbol of citizenship into a cult of personality, alienating millions and undermining trust in impartial governance. Constitutionally, this move spits on the principles of limited government and individual liberty. The federal government’s role is to serve the people, not to elevate any one figure above the ideals of the Republic, as the Founders intended with a system of checks and balances to prevent such overreach. Originalism demands we honor the spirit of 1776, not a modern political icon, in our national symbols. Conservatives must reject this as an affront to the very freedoms we celebrate. Let’s commemorate America’s birthday with reverence for our founding principles, not devotion to any man. Stand for the Constitution, not a cult.
