President Trump stood in front of a fake U.S. presidential seal before giving a speech in front of supporters in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. The sign resembled the official Russian coat of arms and contained other subtle shots at the commander in chief.

The altered presidential seal popped up next to Trump as he was being introduced onstage. The true presidential seal shows arrows and olive branches clutched in a one-headed eagle’s talons, the fake seal shows a two-headed eagle holding a set of golf clubs in one hand and a pile of cash in the other.
The person responsible for the mistake was later found and fired. Apparently the fake seal was from this website:
How embarassing.

Peeps today seem to have lost the need to pay attention to the details:(

The interesting thing is some people did notice. I wouldn’t have.
I realize that not everyone is going to like the person who holds the office of president but I find it very sad that once that person is in office he can’t get the support of everyone. Just think how much more could be accomplished if everyone would stand behind him instead of trying to undermind him and make him look stupid.
The interesting thing is the designer of the fake seal was a Republican. He just couldn’t stomach what Trump was doing.
I’m actually surprised this is not a fake story. Surely, someone in his administration is supposed to be looking at the optics at all his events and speaking engagements.
I’m guessing they never dreamed the seal would be wrong so they didn’t look at it carefully.
agree…but then as CM remarks “nobody was expecting it…”
I just find it highly amusing that nobody sussed the fake seal until it was too late and Trump had already spoken. It looks genuine enough until you look at the details more closely.
