At first glance, there was nothing unusual about President Trumps introduction Tuesday at Turning Point USAs student summit. In many ways, it mirrored the production style that has become synonymous with Trumps campaign rallies.
Following a 12-minute video illustrating Trumps rise to the presidency, music blared as the presidents name flashed across a giant screen in a bold shade of red. Trump took the stage and soaked in the raucous cheers from hundreds of young supporters packed inside the Marriott Marquis in Washington.
Charlie Kirk, Turning Points outspoken founder and executive director, was on his left. But the image on the screen to Trumps right captured in dozens of photos and videos from the event is less familiar.
The image almost resembles the official seal of the president, but a closer examination reveals alterations that seem to poke fun at the presidents golfing penchant and accusations that he has ties to Russia. Neither the White House nor Turning Point knows how it got there or who created it.
The eagle has two heads instead of one a symbol historically tied to empire and dominance. It closely resembles the bird on the Russian coat of arms and also appears on the flags of Serbia, Albania and Montenegro. Its left talons, rather than clasping 13 arrows, appear to clutch a set of golf clubs.

I can't believe that there are that many really dumb people in the chain of command.
