    Trump Reportedly Misusing Presidential Seal To Boost Business At 4th Golf Course
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trum...ug-4th-golf-course_n_62a541f8e4b06594c1c97a24

    Donald Trump is using the presidential seal at a fourth golf course to help enhance his business in what could be a violation of the law, Forbes is reporting.

    It’s against the law to use the presidential seal in a way that could convey the impression of government approval or sponsorship of a private business. Violations can result in prison sentences of up to six months. The seal can only be used for official government business.

    The course is the fourth Trump property to use the seal in possible violation of the law, according to Forbes. Presidential seals have also been used at his courses in the Bronx, New Jersey and in Jupiter, Florida.


    Once again, the worst president ever, Tacky Donnie Trump, shows his total lack of respect for the office of the presidency of the United States by using a presidential seal as a prop to promote business at a golf course.

    Donnie the Grifter's presidency was based on 'what is in it for him'.

    How Trump fused his business empire to the presidency
    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/20/trump-businesses-empire-tied-presidency-100496

    The intersections between Trump Inc. and President Trump are everywhere: A Chinese state-owned company was awarded a multimillion dollar contract to help develop a Trump golf course in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, amid a U.S.-China trade war. T-Mobile executives stayed at Trump’s Washington hotel while seeking a green light from the federal government for a merger. The IRS commissioner, who refused to release Trump’s tax returns to Congress, collects rent from a pair of Trump condos in Hawaii.

    Then he will use the "presidential sealion" to claim he didn't realize that was a seal for official purposes only.

    The Joe Biden crime family used the name in the VP office to do shady dealings around the world..
    Did HuffPo and Forbes look into that?

    Sources are HuffPost and Politico. That’s the only valuable information here. Why not post a link from the Young Turds while you are at it?

    He is relying on the fact that he's too powerful to touch and no former President has been convicted and imprisoned. Therefore, anything and everything is available for his exploitation. That's how he rolls.

    As it is true, Biden should not be sitting in the oval orifice. Joe and his family should be sitting in jail.

    In what has been adopted as somewhat of a right wing meme, Greek mythology has it that King Leonidas kicks a messenger bearing unwelcome news in to a pit. Hence the saying, "don't kill the messenger." Get it?

    Sorry, we don’t listen to “news” from liberal hacks and beat-writers who spout lies to benefit their party and partisan ways. Those links are **** sources.

    We do nothing you don’t do yourself. You mean to tell me you accept news from Fox, Ben Shapiro, Sky News, etc, etc… Of course you don’t. Move along bud. Go check out the new outrage TYT is drumming up for the day.

    Why would I have to show proof for something you have no proof of? LOL. That’s not how it works. You can’t make a fake claim and then go “Show proof I’m wrong”. What are we, in kindergarten here?

    Um...I'm not the one who made a claim...YOU did. So yes, it's upon YOU to show proof.

    Right, and I (not the OP) asked you to prove Trump wasn't using the presidential seal and so far you've produced nothing. So I don't have to prove anything because I haven't made any claims. But you have and therefore it's upon you to provide proof. Or be a man and admit you got nothing. Your choice.

    There's a difference. I don't reject the garbage Faux spews just because it's Faux. I reject it because it's mostly lies and misinformation.....which I can prove. As another poster said, "So you have proof Trump isn't using the presidential seal?"
