All The Things Trump Has Added His Name or Image To
From coins and currency to federal programs and even passports, President Donald Trump’s name or likeness has increasingly been attached to a wide range of government‑linked initiatives, marking a defining feature of his second term.
The latest example-a planned limited‑run U.S. passport featuring a portrait of Trump alongside the Declaration of Independence-stands out as particularly notable, as official U.S. identification documents have not historically included the image of a sitting president. The State Department has indicated the passports are part of efforts to mark the country's 250th anniversary.
Taken together with other proposals, from currency and coins to federal programs and institutions, the passport forms part of a broader pattern in Trump's second term. His name or image has appeared across multiple areas of federal activity, often tied to policy initiatives or branding efforts.
That trend is unfolding as the United States approaches its semiquincentennial in July 2026, a milestone the administration has linked to new designs, commemorations and initiatives.
Passports
The State Department confirmed to Newsweek plans to produce a "limited run" of 25,000 passports featuring Trump’s picture.
The inside cover would show a portrait of Trump set against the text of the Declaration of Independence, along with his signature in gold. Other pages would include more traditional imagery.
“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed U.S. passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” a State Department spokesperson told Newsweek. “These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. passport the most secure documents in the world.”
The Trump Kennedy Center
Trump's name was added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts after the venue's board-composed of his appointees-approved the change, according to the White House. The building's signage was updated to include his name alongside Kennedy's, effectively branding it the "Trump‑Kennedy Center."
The move bypassed Congress, even though an official name change to the memorial would require an act of Congress.
Several performers canceled planned appearances at the center following the move, citing objections to the decision.
National Parks Passes
As Newsweek previously reported, the Interior Department introduced a redesigned version of its national park passes late last year, swapping out traditional scenic imagery for a portrait of Trump. The passes, which grant entry to more than 2,000 federally managed recreation areas, form part of a wider rebranding initiative undertaken by the administration.
Trump Gold Cards
The "Gold Card" is a visa program that would allow wealthy foreign nationals to apply for U.S. residency more quickly if they make a large financial contribution to the federal government. Under the policy, individuals who provide an unrestricted "gift" of $1 million-or $2 million if paid through a company-could be considered for an immigrant visa through an expedited process.
The gold cards feature an image of Trump with an eagle in the foreground and the Statue of Liberty in the background, along with the president's signature.
"Trump-Class Battleships"
In December, Trump announced plans for a new class of warships named after himself, which he described as “100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.”
The administration said the new Trump‑class vessels would be larger than the battleships previously employed by the U.S. Navy from World War II to the early 1990s, when the Iowa‑class ships were decommissioned.
Trump's Signature on Paper Currency
The president's signature is reportedly set to appear on U.S. paper currency to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, marking the first instance in 165 years in which a sitting president's name appeared on U.S. currency. The first $100 bills carrying his signature are set to be printed in June, followed by additional denominations in the months that follow.
Gold Coins From the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts
Newsweek reported in March that the federal arts panel approved designs for a 24‑karat gold commemorative coin featuring Trump's likeness, paving the way for the U.S. Mint to begin striking the coin ahead of the July 4 semiquincentennial celebrations.
The coin shows Trump wearing a suit and tie, leaning forward with both hands planted on a surface, his expression appearing firm.
The word "LIBERTY" curves along the upper edge of the design, with the dates "1776–2026" positioned beneath it. The phrase "IN GOD WE TRUST" runs along the lower rim, flanked by 13 stars symbolizing the original colonies.
The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace
In early December, the Trump administration added Trump's name to the U.S. Institute of Peace. The decision came amid a legal dispute over control of the once independent institute.
"President Trump will be remembered by history as the President of Peace. It’s time our State Department display that," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement at the time.
Trump Accounts
The Trump accounts program was created under Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" tax‑and‑spending law earlier in 2025 and is designed to offer tax‑advantaged investment accounts for children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, Newsweek previously reported.
TrumpRx
In February, the White House launched TrumpRx. Officials said the new government‑run website would allow Americans to access lower‑priced prescription drugs by linking them directly to pharmaceutical companies.
Rather than selling medications itself, TrumpRx was described as acting as an intermediary, guiding users to participating drugmakers' own direct‑to‑consumer platforms where eligible prescriptions could typically be purchased with cash.
