Trump Organization removes copies of presidential seals from golf course after reports they may be illegal

The Trump Organization says it has removed replicas of the presidential seal from one of its golf courses a day after a report that the private company's use of the seal could be illegal.
The plaques were presented to the club by a small group of members, who are incredible fans of the President, in honor of Presidents Day weekend. They were temporary and have since been removed, a Trump Organization spokesperson said in a statement.
President Donald Trump was at Mar-a-Lago, his club in Palm Beach, Fla., over the Presidents Day weekend.
ProPublica first reported that the Trump Organization ordered dozens of replicas of the official presidential seal from the Indiana-based company Eagle Sign & Design to use as tee markers on the Trump International Golf Course in Palm Beach.

I remember some douchbag RW loons like old-school, now deceased talk host Bob Grant, who accused Obama of creating his own "O" flag when he was campaigning in OH, not realizing that Obama was standing in front of the Ohio state flag.

(129,047 posts)Can you imagine the amount of RW viral tweets spreading that nonsense if this had happened today (beyond the already ridiculous CT that was spread far and wide at the time on other outlets)?
