Trump Spoke in Front of Presidential Seal Edited With Symbols of Russia and Golf

When Donald Trump spoke in front of a presidential seal on Tuesday, it appeared to have been edited to look like Russias coat of arms. At a student summit hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA, the president stood in front of an image of the seal, which looked at first glance to be perfectly normal. But a closer look shows the eagle has two heads, like Russias national symbol, and the bird is holding golf clubs instead of its usual arrows. Neither the White House nor Turning Point knows how the apparent practical joke on the president got on the screen or who created it, The Washington Post reports. A Turning Point spokesman said: It was a last-minute A/V mistake... and I cant figure out where the breakdown was... but it was a last minute throw-up, and thats all it was... I cant figure out who did it yet.

That's hilarious. The one thing Donald really can't stand is being the butt of the joke.

Bullshit! I don't think it was a "joke" or a mistake at all.

why was there a presidential seal with Russian symbols on it in the first place?

Since they seem to enjoy torture but despise facts and honesty.

The most astonishing thing of all: no one there seems to have even noticed!!!!
Trump, of course, couldn't tell an American eagle from a Dodo bird.
