“An image of Donald Trump will soon appear in some US passports, officials said on Tuesday, shattering another norm as the president aggressively puts his personal stamp on government institutions.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim 'Trump’s signature – in gold – lies underneath' is a specific visual detail. While the web search results mention 'signature in gold ink' (Claim 0 evidence) and 'signature in gold underneath' (Claim 3 evidence), the evidence provided for Claim 4 is entirely irrelevant (Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, Florida LLC). Therefore, the specific detail of the gold signature cannot be confirmed using the provided evidence.
