"I think it's a little silly, but we laughed at Russia when they had pictures of Lenin and Stalin everywhere. Go to China, they had pictures of Mao everywhere. You go to North Korea, pictures of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un. We're America, and I think we do less of that."
"I just think there's a bit of overreach by some of the subordinates of the president who are trying to cater to his attention. It's not really America to do this."
Outgoing Rep. Don Bacon criticized the decision to feature Donald Trump's image on U.S. passports, calling it silly and reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. He compared it to the images of leaders like Lenin, Mao, and Kim in their respective countries. Bacon expressed concern over the overreach by Trump's subordinates, suggesting that such actions do not align with American values. He noted that Trump's image is already present on various buildings in Washington, D.C., and will also appear on a commemorative coin for the U.S. anniversary.
