idk he got the 4 week expedite or something crazy because we wanted to take a spontaneous cruise. i just remember the ridiculous charge and it was like well if you're gonna take $700 we prob cant get onto this cruise because $700 is like a lot of money

pretty sure you only get the trump one if you apply for a renewal in person in Washington DC. I got mine renewed over the summer and got a normal one
