Welcome? What??
This is real. Trump has his fucking nasty picture on the new passports and his stupid richter scale psycho signature too. But it also actually says, “Welcome, but be good.” Who is that for? Does he think that US passports are held by visitors to America? Or is he welcoming Americans to their own country and telling them to be good? Or is he just brain-dead and has no idea what he’s saying, and nobody can tell this naked Emperor to put on some clothes? Seriously, didn’t anyone at the State Department think to question this “welcome, but be good” bullshit? Could no one mention that it literally makes no sense? It gets more and more hallucinatory every single day.
