California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticised President Donald Trump for announcing a limited-edition United States passport bearing Trump's image. The move makes Trump the first sitting U.S. president in American history to be featured on a passport. The State Department framed the release as a commemorative edition tied to the 250th anniversary of the U.K. Declaration of Independence. Newsom's press team posted a mock-up of a California driver's license with a high-quality photo of Newsom himself. The driver's licence is a satire attempt to celebrate California's 175th anniversary and is seen as about celebrating the state's "beautiful state".
