A blue banner depicting former President Donald Trump was prominently displayed outside the US Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., reflecting ongoing attempts to embed his political identity within federal institutions. This action aligns with a pattern of Trump attempting to reshape key federal institutions since his return to political prominence last year, seeking to solidify his political vision through various means.

The banner carried the slogan "Make America Safe Again" and was strategically placed between columns at the Department of Justice, further emphasizing Trump's brand amidst the political landscape. Since returning to the national scene, Trump has been busy restructuring certain cultural and political entities within the federal government by appointing officials aligned with his agenda and altering the names of prominent institutions. Such actions have sparked significant discourse about the implications of his influence over federal entities.

Previously, similar banners were also erected at the Departments of Labor and Agriculture, showcasing a consistent theme from Trump's administration of asserting control over governmental messaging and values. In a notable shift announced in December last year, the State Department revealed plans to rename the "US Institute of Peace" to include Trump’s name, further indicating Trump's strategy to secure his legacy and imprint within the government apparatus.
