While the current U.S. passport includes an image of Mount Rushmore, which has the heads of four presidents, this would be the first stand-alone image of a U.S. president, living or dead, in a passport. No foreign passports have included pictures of heads of state, and U.S. passports have previously carried the signature of the secretary of state, but not the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has made a habit of putting his name on things in his second term as president, from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/post\/203933\/trump-name-us-institute-peace-headquarters-building\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Institute of Peace<\/a>&nbsp;to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/post\/204667\/donald-trump-already-renamed-kennedy-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kennedy Center<\/a>&nbsp;for the Performing Arts.
