Trump Organization Ordered Presidential Seals For Trump Golf Courses: Report

The U.S. presidential seal may be adorning a Trump golf course near you ― at least if the Trump Organization has its way, according to a new report.

The Trump Organization appears to have ordered replica presidential seals to mark its golf courses, an act that may be a federal crime, ProPublica reported on Monday.

President Donald Trump’s longtime business, which his older sons currently run, reportedly ordered dozens of 12-inch plates bearing the official eagle-emblazoned U.S. presidential seal, to be used as tee markers.

Similar plates bearing a family coat of arms are already in use at Trump golf courses. (The New York Times reported last year that the Trump family’s coat of arms actually belonged to another family ― though it has been modified, including by replacing the word “Integritas,” Latin for “integrity,” with the word “Trump.”)

The Trumps are like the Beverly Hillbillies, those uncouth ignoramuses who used a pool table as their fancy eating table. The Trump family of sleazy Grifters and greedy Con Artists are trying to use replicas of the Great Seal of the United States of America as lawn ornaments on his golf courses. Maybe that will allow them to charge golfers higher premium fees.
