The release of a Donald Trump “commemorative” US passport, featuring an incomprehensible message from the president, baffled a conservative pundit on Saturday morning, which led to gales of laughter on MS NOW.

Before moving on to more serious topics, “The Weekend” co-host Jackie Alemany told the panel, “Let's talk about Donald Trump's new commemorative passport. This features a picture of the President leaning over scowling with his signature scowl, but it also has a new catchphrase on it. His message: ‘Welcome, but be good.’”

That led to an initial outburst of laughter and all five panelists talking over each other before conservative journalist David Drucker attempted, “I mean sure, we should all be good, whether you're coming here or not.”

“I don't — I mean, what do you do with that?” he asked before pausing, which led to another outburst of laughter.

Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr interjected, “Does he understand what a passport does? A passport allows you to travel —.”

”To leave the country!” co-host Eugene Daniels interrupted.

1. Trump thinks he owns America. Literally the North American continent and we are all his subjects in his eyes.

2. Don't be an ugly Karen MAGAt when you travel.

And that's being generous to Trump's ignorance.

12. "Be Good" would make some sense taken like that, but it doesn't when prefaced by "Welcome"

No matter how generous one tries to be, there's no logical way to defend this stupidity.

Whoever crafted the message doesn't even understand what passports are. Whether that's literally Trump or not who knows, but at minimum, the people he's hired are freaking stupid.

3. Trump has "branded" every American traveling under this passport as his property

4. I'm sorry, I don't see the "Welcome, but be good"

Am I missing something?

13. I think it was one of his "truthsocial" scat droppings

Promoting his 250th year Passport, only available at the DC office.
Sort of like making it an Amusement Park passport into DC?

I'm starting to wonder if he's thinking to eventually force all DC tourists, residents and workers to get a Trump 250 passport to be able to access any Government building or the Mall after the 4th.

Wouldn't put it past this mis-administration.

If he does this, the line to get onto the DC Metro will end up out to West VA or down to Newport News...

15. You mean restricting access to Capital City?

Ala The Hunger Games?

[YepYep]

5. I am surprised

That the message isn’t “Welcome be good and vote Republican. No dumbocrats. See everyone thinks there isn’t a b in dumb. But I am the only one who realized it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

6. "Concepts" must be so difficult for him.

7. Did he get Visas and Passports confused?

Of course, he senile.

…

In April, a department official said the Trump-themed passports would only be available at in-person appointments in Washington "for as long as there is availability."

… more …

9. He's failing his bid to become a full-fledged oligarch. Plus, he's too full of himself

to have a Wiles or Miller edit his work.

10. Does he not know that an American passport is for LEAVING here to visit other countries?

“Welcome, but be good”?

11. The stupidest president ever thinks visitors to the U.S. get American passports

The stupidest president ever thinks visitors to the U.S. get American passports. He also said that you need to show ID to buy groceries so we shouldn’t be surprised.

[Wonder Why]

14. "Be good. If you can't be good, be careful. If you can't be careful, name it after me."

That would have been more appropriate for him.
