The Bulwark - State Dept. Finalizing Plan to Put Trump Picture on U.S. Passports
His face on top of the Declaration of Independence is telling. They consider their leader above the law.
Absolutely.
I would go further to say He considers himself to be above the law, with the help of the SCOTUS decision in May 2024 that confirmed the Office of President of the USA is sovereign, so on that basis, as we have seen, he just does whatever he wants and everyone else can go jump.
What's next? He demands that the country be renamed to Trumpland or the United States of Trump or similar.

So the official Whitehouse position on the president, is that he is a king?

JD Vance and Mike Johnson applaud King Charles at the Capitol building in Washington.
The Guardian - Mission accomplished as king’s speech to Congress goes down a storm
29 April 2026
Charles quoted Wilde and Dickens in a measured masterclass – and no tirade as yet from the mad monarch in the White House
A flick of Oscar Wilde here, a nod to Henry Kissinger there, a sprinkling of Charles Dickens here, a dollop of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt there. Job done!
The British monarch mobilised an elite squad of dead white men, leavened with humour and subliminal politicking, on Tuesday in a charm offensive aimed over Donald Trump’s head and squarely at the US Congress.
Judging by the cheers and minute-long applause he received at the end, the soft power flex worked a treat and the special relationship lives to fight another day.

An alternate version/artist's (satirical) rendition of "the Trump passport":
I bet he would be absolutely beside himself if he saw that one 😄

New vanity passport? How about a new vanity driver's licence while we're at it? 😀
Also... 🤔

The White House isn't a good joke teller; it's a joke itself. A "Burger King" is far from being a monarch, let alone a dignitary. Or should I say "Burglar King"? 😁
