President Donald Trump has long been known for putting his name on everything from skyscrapers to golf clubs to steaks. During his time in the White House, he’s brought that same penchant for branding into various corners of the U.S. government. 

Trump’s name and face have appeared on multiple federal buildings around Washington, D.C. He’s unveiled new government programs—and warships—bearing his moniker. And soon, his image will appear in some Americans’ travel documents.

The State Department on Tuesday revealed the design for a new passport commemorating the nation’s 250th birthday that includes a page featuring picture of Trump’s face surrounded by the text of the Declaration of Independence, the most recent entry in the long list of moves to stamp his name or image on the world. 

Trump’s signature is also set to appear on future U.S. currency along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s, the Treasury Department announced last month, in what the department characterized as a celebration of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. It will mark the first time a sitting president’s signature will go on paper currency. 

The U.S. Mint published draft designs in December for another proposed form of semiquincentennial currency honoring the President, a $1 coin with Trump’s face on it. 

Trump also earlier this year sought to have D.C.’s Dulles International Airport and New York’s Penn Station named after him, though that effort did not bear fruit—or at least, it hasn't yet. 

Here’s where Trump has succeeded in placing his image or name thus far during his presidential terms.

Limited edition passports

The State Department on April 28 unveiled a newly designed U.S. passport intended to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary that features an image of Trump. 

Mockups of the design shared with TIME show an illustration of the President’s face at the center the text of the Declaration of Independence with his signature emblazoned in gold below. Another page features John Trumbull’s famous 1819 “Declaration of Independence” painting of the founding fathers gathered for the document’s signing. The front and back of the passport will also be slightly altered from current versions.

"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,” State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said in a statement to TIME.

A State Department official said that the passports’ release will coincide with the U.S.’s semiquincentennial anniversary in July.

Commemorative gold coins

The Commission of Fine Arts approved a design this month for a commemorative 24-karat gold coin emblazoned with the image of a stern-faced Trump leaning over a desk. 

“As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump,” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement to news outlets at the time.

The design appears to resemble a photograph of Trump that was hung in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., in January.

Banners on federal agency buildings

A large banner depicting Trump’s face was hung on the Department of Justice building in Washington, D.C., in February. 

In August, another large banner featuring his image was hung on the Department of Labor building alongside a banner of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was known for advocating for American workers. Both banners read, “American Workers First.”  

And in June, a banner of Trump’s face was placed alongside one of President Abraham Lincoln on the front of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) building. The USDA banners read, "Growing America Since 1862."

In February, Trump launched a government website aimed at helping people buy prescription drugs at discounted prices. The name? TrumpRx.gov.

Trump class battleships

In December, Trump announced plans to construct “Trump class” battleships. 

"As commander in chief, it's my great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the Navy to begin the construction of two brand-new, very large — largest we've ever built — battleships," Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, while flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Navy Secretary John Phelan.

Construction of the warships, which Trump said will be part of a “golden fleet,” is slated to begin in the early 2030s.

Phelan called the ships “the largest, deadliest and most versatile and best-looking warship anywhere on the world's oceans.”

The Kennedy Center

In what has perhaps been the most controversial move to emblazon government properties with Trump’s name or face,  the President’s name has been etched into the famed John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts amid Trump’s takeover of the venue. The building and its website have been updated to call it “The Trump Kennedy Center.”

A legal challenge against the name change is currently underway.

Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio on Wednesday filed a motion asking a federal circuit court judge to reverse the move, with her lawyers arguing that Congress designated the venue “as a memorial to John F. Kennedy — and to no one else.”

The Institute of Peace

Trump’s name has also been etched into another D.C. institution: the United States Institute of Peace.

Months after the Trump Administration fired most of the nonprofit think tank’s board in March, the President’s name was added to its headquarters in early December, even amid an ongoing court battle over who controlled it.

The non-profit think tank was renamed to “reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation’s history,” the State Department said at the time.

National parks passes

The Department of the Interior announced in November that its annual “America the Beautiful” national park pass for 2026 would feature Trump’s face, alongside that of former President George Washington, instead of the traditional nature imagery. 

“It is the department’s honor to showcase the America the Beautiful pass honoring America’s 250th anniversary and the generations who have protected our lands,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said in a video statement on the department’s website that featured the new design.

A lawsuit opposing the design is currently ongoing. 

After a number of park enthusiasts participated in sticker protests, covering Trump’s face on their passes, the National Parks Service earlier this year reportedly updated its policy to say that adding stickers to passes or otherwise altering them could make them invalid.

Trump Accounts

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Trump signed into law in July authorized the creation of so-called Trump Accounts, investment accounts for babies that the federal government will seed with $1,000 each for babies born between 2025 and 2029.

A number of wealthy individuals and companies have also committed to contributing funds to the accounts, which are set to launch on July 4 this year.

Trump gold cards

Trump first announced plans last February to offer a “gold card” program that would grant foreigners who purchased the cards for $5 million “green card privileges.”

“They’ll be wealthy and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people, and we think it’s going to be extremely successful,” Trump said in the Oval Office at the time. 

The President signed an Executive Order in September directing that the program be established with an updated price tag of “$1 million for an individual donating on his or her own behalf and $2 million for a corporation or similar entity donating on behalf of an individual.”

In December, Trump said that the gold cards would be going on sale and the Administration launched a website where applications for the program could be submitted. 

According to the gold card website, a “Trump Platinum Card” is also “coming soon,” which could be purchased for $5 million and give purchasers “the ability to spend up to 270 days in the United States without being subject to U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income.”

Stimulus checks

During Trump’s first presidential term, his name was printed on stimulus checks issued by the Internal Revenue Service and sent to around 35 million Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
