Donald Trump appeared at a right-wing rally in front of a fake presidential seal, doctored to make apparently satiric references to Russia and golf. — Altered Presidential seal shown on the screen behind Trump while speaking at Turning Point USA (conservative group)

From The Independent:

The normally solitary bald eagle was seen with two heads, made to resemble the two-headed bird on the official Russian coat of arms in a mocking nod to Mr Trump’s woes with investigations into Moscow’s election meddling.

The symbolic bird also showed up clutching a bag of golf clubs – evidently a joke about the president’s fondness for spending so much time on the links.

I promise you, no one is going to find out who did it, but whomever did really hates him. All I can say is that it wasn’t me.

h/t to jqjacobs for finding the original:

2n10 and alamancedem point out that you can buy stuff with this logo on it.

Siab found these links: Vox, Snopes

annieli discovered someone was fired (but likely not guilty):

A TPUSA aide has been fired after Trump appeared in front of a doctored seal - which, a source familiar says, was the result of a google search gone wrong. Ã¢ÂÂZero malicious intent.Ã¢ÂÂ https://t.co/8ZpNtsD6AV
