"45 is a puppet"

[Gardening Grandma]

Trump spoke in front of an altered presidential seal and nobody knew
In the altered seal, a two-headed bald eagle clutches golf clubs and cash.

I saw this today all over twitter.

The alternate presidential seal was very professionally done, but featured the Russian double headed eagle. In his claws he grasped golf clubs (in place of arrows), and money in place of olive branches. The banner said "45 is a puppet" (in Spanish) instead of 'e pluribus unum".

It really was quite apropos.

Some one was very creative...and right on the money too!

Just one more example of how sloppy this administration is.  They can't even come up with a stock photo/seal to give to places he's going to appear.   If they are this sloppy on the simple shit,  how sloppy are they on the details that actually matter?

And here is the story from the guy who originally created this...

I was wondering how that actually got displayed. Sloppy incompetent advance team who didn't provide the right decal?

Or should we assign a more nefarious motive and say it was a mole in the Trump campaign trying to make Trump look bad?

I'm 100% sure which one Trump will believe - female, non-white, liberal faker snuck into his staff to undermine his beautiful campaign.

There's a wonderful picture floating around of Trump with his mouth wide open in an almost cartoonish way, with that fake seal displayed behind him. I expect that will pop up on countless political ads this next year.

It also reinforces Mueller's assertions about ongoing outside influencing - if this can happen accidentally, think how much deliberate change could be done by someone with an agenda.

The more incompetent/sloppy his team is, the bigger the holes to exploit.

The official story I read said his team didn't supply a seal at all. The group hosting the event had their own logo up, and at the last minute were told to switch it. One of their staffers (since fired) did a quick Google search for a hi res image and grabbed this one without looking too closely.

So the sloppy and incompetent advance team is the winner winner chicken dinner.

How surprising, from this well oiled machine.

From my link above....

By Thursday morning, the Turning Point spokesman said the group had identified the staffer responsible for turning Leazott’s design into a trending topic. He called the incident a last-minute oversight, the result of a quick online search to find a second high-resolution photo of the presidential seal to place behind Trump. He said the mistake was “unacceptable.”

“We did let the individual go,” the spokesman said. “I don’t think it was malicious intent, but nevertheless.”

Leazott doesn’t buy it. He thinks whoever was responsible had to know exactly what they were looking for. He believes the person dug up the image he created and used it intentionally.

“That’s a load of crap,” he said in response to Turning Point’s explanation. “You have to look for this. There’s no way this was an accident is all I’m saying.”

And further down....

“The worst has been Facebook,” he said, which he hadn’t checked “in like a year.”

“Holy crap at the amount of vile, hateful Facebook messages," he said. "It’s apparently a personal affront to some people.”

But, Leazott said, it’s him who gets the last laugh. A photo of Trump in front of his seal is now his computer background, and the person who used it at the event is “either wildly incompetent or the best troll ever — either way, I love them.”

As of Thursday afternoon, Leazott’s shirts were sold out. He said he had to start working with a fulfillment center just to meet the demand. He also revived the primary website for his brand, OneTerm, which includes a paean to the American Civil Liberties Union, where the site says 10 percent of all sales will be directed.

“It’s cool people are buying this, that’s great and all,” he said. “But I’ve got to be honest, I am so tickled in the most petty way possible that the president of the United States, who I despise, stood up and gave a talk in front of this graphic. Whoever put that up is my absolute hero.”

This is from the guy who originally created this.
