Flanking an odd presidential seal
Trump delivered his tedious spiel
But what he didn’t know
Is that the seal was faux
Something his hosts tried hard to conceal
1
Mr. Leazott is truly the stable genius here. You have earned the anti-45 “Seal of Approval”. Much appreciated!
7
No easier way to get national MSM pub than to find a way to publicly ridicule Trump.
Ha ha. Tee hee.
Thanks Mr Leazott, I needed that........
1
No wonder this got by Trump; he thought the presidential seal was a real seal.
3
Ha ha ha, petty but hilarious!
4
Mr. Leazott, can we use your seal anytime we have a picture of Trump?
5
Excellent. Humor is a primary tool in the struggle against this ludicrous president
3
We need more satire, not less. The joke is on Donald Trump and the speaking event organizers who used this joke президентская печать and never noticed the difference.
4
And not one of the staff noticed this? I find that hard to believe.
3
For those who view Mr. Leazott's seal as a besmirching and disrespectful swipe at a sacred icon....
there are 100 times that number of people who see Donald Trump as a besmirching and disrespectful swipe at democracy, peace and civility.
8
"Are you a Democrat or Republican?"
No, sir, I am an American.
6
Best wishes to the guy as he weathers this publicity storm. Suddenly becoming famous is now an especially unpleasant experience.
1
This faux seal is in the anarchic spirit of MAD Magazine. Excellent work!
4
I'm sure Mr. Leazott would have preferred that his 15 minutes of fame not be for this, but we don't get to choose. I hope and trust he appreciates that his creation resonated in the best way with millions of people... of whom I'm one.
I also hope makes a whopping pile-o'-cash from online sales, because at least one person who "gets it" should benefit from this unethical administration.
9
Greatest tidbit here is that Amateur Hour continues to reign at the White House. They were frantically Googling to find the Presidential Seal before the speech? Then they find a spoof and don't know it? Please, please shut down the Know-Nothing Circus in 2020.
11
Let's face it: in a week that featured some of the lowest, the worst, the most vile behaviors and words coming from our national leadership, this "trolling" was simply ... hilarious. A prank that brought about some much-needed laughter. Yes, someone lost his job over projecting this, and conversely, someone else has achieved internet stardom for creating this, but the bottom line is, it was very funny.
Unfortunately, it was one of the headliner occurrences during yet another hatefest rally starring the president, whose nastiness and untruths were aimed at an audience of impressionable young people. Perhaps the Turning Point youth will ultimately find that the most memorable take-away from that rally was the ridiculous but definitely thought-provoking "Presidential seal."
4
As funny as this may be, and it's plenty hilarious, one has to keep in mind that Trump may truly be compromised by the Russians. Putin may truly own him. Why all the meetings and phone "consultations" with Putin without US representatives in the room? This is reason enough to impeach and prosecute Trump for treason.
1
I absolutely love it, and laugh at the idea that no one , including the current resident of the White House noticed it! They are all deaf, dumb, and blind and that is truly scary.
4
This was God''s will.
You aware that the Lord operates in mysterious ways and is not above playing practical jokes.
But really, I suspect it was Jeff Sessions or maybe Mitch McConnell or it could have even been Vladimir Putan.
Just ordered my T-shirt!
1
I’m sure he has been identified elsewhere but still, publishing his name and picture? I hope he is in hiding.
This fake seal is spot on with Trump's focus on money and lack of any interest in real work vs. golf! It's so personal - I'm surprised he didn't like it!
3
I can't think of a more appropriate seal to be used by this illegitimate president, it really symbolizes everything Donald Trump stands for, Russia, Golfing, Money Grabbing, and Incompetent.
I love that it is actually on video and print, so matter how the dope tries to deny it happened, we have the documented proof for the history books.
5
Is there any way to arrange to have this gentleman run for president?
For another good laugh, stay tuned for Trump’s tax returns. Billionaire? Great businessman? Ba ha ha ha!!
3
The seal fits the current degradation of the office of the Presidency, so might as well keep this new one--much more apropos of this cult of corruption and cruelty.
3
Essentially, the people in an organization that supports the President don't know what the Seal of the President looks lke? That is so fitting. They may want to study up on Cultural Images and Icons of the United States, the country they love so much but obviously knows so little about. 😥
4
@ Mr. Leazott
Keep up the good work.
1
The words above the eagle heads may be read differently. Should go on his caps.
in 2017, a newspaper in Dominican Republic mistakenly ran a picture of Alec Baldwin on SNL, instead of DJT.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/newspaper-mistakenly-runs-picture-alec-baldwin-snl-instead-trump-n719846
Excellent work Charles! You could not have timed the auspicious event for a more auspicious occasion to pull off this masterful, well thought out coup more perfectly! Intoxicated by the sense of self proclamation of 'victory lap' time, the hoax is brilliantly implemented and cleverly executed the rotund obese pink complexioned before a west Virginia crown of MAWA supporters, obviously oblivious to the hard cold reality before their very own eyes. Great! Of course, those supporters are not known for their basic intelligence but known for their vicious anti immigrant, extreme xenophobia, and committed white nationalism. What better way to label the Republican Party? Kudos to you my man! Race matters!
1
Can’t ANYONE take a joke anymore?
Quite apropos. A fake seal for a fake president. Outstanding work!
3
Leazott has trump down to a 'tee!' Great work!
1
If only the bird let droppings on a cut-out of America, it would be a complete visual metaphor for the Trump admin.
1
Ordered 3 T-shirts from OneTerm Donnie yesterday!!!
1
The lack of anyone noticing the seal *should* be the story line. It's obvious this president has so little curiosity, he wouldn't bother to even look behind him.
This is reminiscent of the fiasco in May at a Fresno Grizzlies baseball game where a mashup video tribute to patriotism labeled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez an "Enemy". Again, it was the work of a staffer who yanked the video from online which no one reviewed beforehand.
"Claws-of-Cash-and-Golf Clubs" is more indicative of the current president's interests anyway.
Besides, our current president has more important things on his mind today: Launching an investigation of Barack Obama's BookGate.
1
Trump is a fake president, so it's only appropriate that he stand next to a fake presidential seal.
1
See what he can do with: Make America Great Again; Impeach Donald Trump
1
So no beer summit with Trump? A man unable to laugh at himself is a man unaware.
4
It appears Mr. Trump studies his presidential seal about as much as he studies foreign policy. The appearance of this creative altered presidential seal makes me wonder if his followers are finally beginning to study him.
3
The real Presidential seal has been disgraced and stepped on by Trump so many times by now that it's probably just having a good laugh like the rest of us..
1
Doesn’t Turning Point USA owe a royalty or license fee for the use of this excellent creative content?
9
Latest polling results show Charles Leazott has a 13 point lead over Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination.
1
What I noticed first on the "fake" seal was the double headed eagle--a symbol of Russia. This seal is sad but true.
1
Consider this: Mr. Leazott created his pseudo presidential seal to sell on products through his website. I would imagine that his artwork is protected by copyright. If so, he should be suing the Turning Point USA to demand a big bundle of money for their infringement. Time to teach those conservatives something about lawfulness and capitalism!!!
8
Is it funny how no one on his 'security detail' raised the issue? It IS the seal of the Presidency.
4
Its only funny because its true.
1
Of course it was an inside job, reminding me of that famous horror movie cliche: the call is coming from inside your house!
His ego doesn’t allow him to see beyond himself.
Trump, of course, never even noticed it. If it doesn't say "TRUMP" on it, why would he ever look at it? He's not exactly 'Mr. Situational Awareness' anyway.
I actually think this is a great way to handle someone as narcissistic, bombastic, and self-centered as Trump - Ridicule. Since Trump has no concept of 'shame', feels no constraints on his behavior are valid or enforceable, and seems to ignore all norms of human decency, why not subject him to all the scorn and ridicule his inflated ego, pompous incompetence, and complete lack of empathy have earned him?
Mr. Leazott has earned a "Good Citizen" award in my opinion - he's far more of a "patriot" than Trump or any of the Republicans in Congress.
5
Mr. Leazott should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
If the (thoroughly punked) Trump Administration won't award him, Mr Leazott should design his own medal!
5
I think it's hilarious.
This 'administration' is nothing if not slapdash.
So many weird press releases, agendas, etc. with wrong information and heaven knows, the zillion misspellings and grammar errors.
They just heave stuff out there with seemingly zero stopgap checks ... precision and accuracy is just too much trouble.
This goofy seal is just one more in a string of such blunders.
I LOOOOVE that he stood in front of it at that hideous Turning Point Teen event ... seems exactly appropriate and serves 'em all right.
3
Perhaps Mr. Leazott can get to work on updating the Seal of the U.S. Senate to reflect its current leader's attributes.
4
Trump runs the Oval Office in the same way his staff locates the presidential seal -- using Google searches. Who needs a federal intelligence agency when you've got the internet??!!
4
The man deserves a medal.
4
What? No tweets? No threats to get the very bad person who did this? Trump is slipping.
1
I hope you make a ton of money off it, it’s great!
3
Consider the clueless person standing next to the fake seal....the fake president of course. When he is voted out office in 2020 he really should opt to be a stand-up ( or sit down) comedian. Did you hear he's going to put a tax on French wine because though he doesn't drink ( but he must be high on something) he says American wines look better. Well, he says he's a stable genius, so I guess he knows his wines.
3
I agree with readers below who believe this was no accident but an intentional act of subversion by some remarkable person who infiltrated the Turning Point. Like our great hero Nathan Hale of old, my guess is that she (or he) has but one regret, that they can give but one life to this great cause: calling out the Dear Leader for what he is: truly, 45 Es un Titere!
1
Just as the Apollo 8 astronauts saved 1968, so Charles Leazott saved 2019.
1
Great story, one that will be remembered years from now.
Oh, I like this guy very much. Someone who realizes the importance of nuance in one's life, the ability to recognize that everything is not necessarily black and white, there are often shades of grey. Kudos to Mr. Leazott for engaging in critical thinking: a seemingly lost art among many of our fellow citizens.
3
I'm baffled why Republicans are upset by something that is, by any measure, an accurate representation of the current Administration.
9
I find it priceless that no one at this event noticed the altered seal until the Washington Post called and told them about it. That failure perfectly sums up much of what is wrong with Trump specifically and conservatives in general.
7
This man is now going to make millions of dollars in merchandising and I couldn't be happier for him.
8
The artist and whoever put it up there are heroes. Job well done.
3
This was one of the funniest things I encountered this week! Thanks, Mr. Leazott.
4
Mr. Leazott's a talented artist with a mordant sense of humor, and he pinned Trump perfectly. So perfectly that neither Trump nor his … audience ... got it.
Beautiful.
4
Fantastic! Best laugh of the week.
Charles Leazott is brilliant.
Got any undiscovered gems we can see Charles?
1
I'm nor sure which is funnier, the Deal or the fact that Trump missed the whole message of the seal. But then the fact that Trump though the seal was glorifying him, is pretty scary.
1
I agree, no way is this an accident. I see two options - either it was a deliberate stunt, maybe assuming the event organizers would immediately catch something so blatant - or it was an accident only because the AV guy was a fan of this guy's work, so Google put it up higher in the results.
If no one at the event noticed this, it may be that they were all having too much fun to actually, y'know, pay attention to anything that was going on onstage. It was all one great big party. I have suspected this about their elders for some now, they're having too much fun yelling about Democrats and anyone else they don't especially like to notice what the guy is actually saying. This may account partially for why they don't think Trump made any racist remarks about "the Squad"; they never noticed. Maybe.
Hilarious...made my day !
Yes, Leazott's satirical presidential seal is hilarious.
Yet, it is satire not just pertaining to the Trump regime, but to the overall descent of the presidency into the morass of unchecked, unaccountable power.
Leazott's seal could apply to Obama, Bush 43, Clinton, all the way back to Wilson. Wilson was our first president to catapult the office from TR's robust progressive, populist juggernaut if still somewhat sleepy co-equal branch to the ever rising Imperial Presidency that we've enabled to overshadow the other branches and the States.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Leazott—you’ve made my day. Love the sassy snarkasm. I am so impressed.
Either someone was totally clueless or they knew exactly what they were doing when they grabbed it off a Google search. Hilarious either way.
Best way to end a tense week.
1
He is my Hero this week.
How can this occur? It's not even funny.
Great work- a true reflection of what the con man represents. He is a KGB asset- period. Evidence strongly suggests his work for KGB and Vlad.
1
Astonishing that Trump's staff, and the staff of this convention, did not see the spoof in the seal, and replace it. On the other hand, maybe some of them did, and decided to let it stay. There might be some decency left among the righties after all.
1
Too bad Trump doesn’t have a sense of humor (or a sense of much else). He might have enjoyed the joke.
1
This is wonderful!
Off to see if I can find Mr. Leazott's online store.
3
Brilliantly talented
3
Hilarious! Between this and finding the owner of the In and Out burger in Queens, the Internet (aka our outrage machine) has had a few good moments this week.
1
Thank You. The most awesome statement of fact in my lifetime. Bravo
Can this PLEASE be Donnie's seal until he is evicted from office? This is brilliant. The symbolism in this work is incredible!
Besides being a hero (I was going to type "cult hero" but that's the other side), Mr Leazott will, I am SURE, have MANY lucrative offers if he ever chooses to seek employment anywhere other than his current job! Kudos, Mr. Leazott!
1
Thanks Mr. Leazott. I think you should have a Pulitzer for your brilliance and originality.
96
exactly
Does Bansky know this guy ? He should. #superheros
1
A great spoof of Deranged Donnie the Dotard !!
Two headed Russian eagle, sickle and hammers, 45 is a puppet...
golf clubs and a wad of cash.
Wow! Excellent graphic designer !! Concise and to the point.
109
This is surreal. Love it!
42
Among other things this country has lost it's sense of humor.
If you can't occasionally laugh at your individual self or your collective self then surely others will.
Thanks Mr. Leazott...not sure I need another T-shirt but I'll check.
49
https://inktale.com/onetermdonnie/trumps-presidential-seal
Bought one today, intend to wear it often
1
Not bad. Except I would have changed the slogan to:
" Hooray for Me and to Hell With You " in Latin.
30
Quoting: "I’m 47 now. Older, wiser and almost overwhelmingly more informed." In contrast to those who fall again and again for Trump's hate-filled propaganda. It is only when a wannabe autocrat takes power that the desirability of critical-thinking skills in order to thwart the rise of future autocrats becomes an absolute necessity.
32
Still the funniest trump story I have ever read. It also makes me ask, "Where the heck is their sense of humor?" What a bunch of thin-skinned ninnies! They could have been gracious and graceful, shook their collective heads, rolled their collective eyes, and shared a good laugh. Instead, they fire an underling. Yet another missed opportunity for trump and his not-so-merry band.
57
If someone got fired over this blatantly altered presidential seal, shouldn't it be the president? I mean, he's the president. He ought to know his own seal when he sees it.
145
He did recognize it as the real deal.
At last! Trump is on true "Reality TV"!!
60
Great work. This is what an artist does best — make the comfortable uncomfortable. Hats off to you sir.
114
I love that in his photo, Leazott is wearing a "Make America Sane Again" hat.
Thanks for the laughs, Mr Leazott.
We need every one we can get these days
132
You rock!
44
He seems to be handling the entire incident with charm, good humor and common sense.
Donnie J could learn a thing or two from this gentleman.
81
I'm not surprised that a regime so careless with truth, fact, history and detail would overlook the altered seal. At least this was intentional and not like Mr Trump's reference to George Washington seizing airports during the Revolutionary War. Mr Trump has diminished the line between satire and reality.
233
@Alph Williams
He thought it always looked that way. :)
3
Looks like Trump’s place in history is sealed.
117
I sincerely hope that a nicely framed photograph of Trump on stage with Mr. Leazott's seal is made available for purchase soon. Also, a forged Trump signature on it would guild the Lilly perfectly. Perhaps Trump will make another fake Time magazine cover photo of himself with it.
66
@solar farmer, what a great T-shirt that would make! They would sell out in 10 mins.
1
I love you. Can I have your children?
58
He should be compensated for unauthorized use of his design. Sue for copyright infringement? Maybe?
47
Not stated explicitly, but does this mean that one of the Turning Point young conservatives thought this was the real seal?
If so, that is the real story her. Not as bright as they think.
53
@Daycd, would not be surprising, if they did.
It, unfortunately, would not be surprising either if the toddler-in-chief declared that this seal - with its two-headed, cash-grabbing, golf club wielding kremlin puppet - will from now on be our new presidential seal.
His supporters would blindly cheer.
How much farther down this rabbit hole must the rest of us be dragged?
31
"He Made a Fake Presidential Seal. Then Came the Media Rumpus.".........
And of course the Republicans hate it - it rings of the truth......
The unvarnished truth can either hurt or be a soothing salve to a saddened nation............
Charles Leazott, welcome aboard to the majority of America buddy......
38
If only the rest of us could come up with something that has brought as much catharsis as designing this seal has to Mr. Leazott. In the meantime while waiting to cast my vote in 2020 I’ll be endorsing wholeheartedly the hat he is wearing “Make America Sane Again”
38
Well, Mr. Leazott, all I can say is,
--thanks;
--and, yes indeed, this image is going up on the wall in my home shop along with my absolute all-time favorite Donald image, where he's holding up a big fine US-made pair of Channellock pliers with an expression that says, "I have absolutely NO idea what this is or why I am being required to hold it up at this event". Ha.
24
Perhaps an invitation to the WH for the award ceremony of The Presidential Medal of Freedom honoring the man who showed that the spirit of free press and satire, guaranteed by our Constitution, still is alive and well.
46
@Richard Frauenglass
I could definitely see that happening under BO. Probably not so much under earlier ones.
9
I thought that seal was absolutely perfect and said it all.
56
Nice work Mr. Leazott! What fascinates me though -- apparently nobody around the President noticed until it blew up on the Internet. He was standing in front of that thing speaking for how long? And none of his people noticed. Wow.
60
@Debbie B.
Somewhere on Twitter a generous soul wrote: We're a nation of D students.
3
Who is the idiot, . I believe the imbecile that does not know the seal of the USA and a fake one, besides, the president love idiots that love fake news. Why are they upset with the man that created the fake seal. It proves once more the intellect of the president followers.
38
@Change Face
He won't admit it in a million years, but at some level, even Donald will know this was a good one...
2
Mr Leazott should be knighted.
81
@Anna Benassi, Sword or Golf Club?
21
Obviously, Mr. Leazott did absolutely nothing wrong. The Republicans were lazy and stupid in using his satirical seal. Anyone sending him hate mail is truly idiotic.
100
Trump used that seal on purpose to boost the guy's business.
3
Is that what they are saying on Redstate today?
Nice try -if Trump was self aware he would invite him over for fast food.
2
" ... almost the first question they ask is, ‘Are you a Democrat or Republican?’ " Indeed. My experience is that when I criticize Mr. Trump, the negative responses simply assume I'm a Democrat, rather than an Independent voter. "42% identified as independents in 2017, up from 39% in 2016" (Gallup) I have admired Republicans in the past - Gen. Colin Powell, Secretary Robert Gates - but in recent years I have seen the Republican Party become far more right and hyperpartisan than I can accept. But still not a Democrat.
15
@Steve Kennedy
I think this is made more meaningful by the fact that he's not a rabid partisan. He just wanted no part of the cult of Trump.
22
Mr. Leazott has pointed out elsewhere that his creation was not ubiquitous online, and that there's no way someone could have stumbled upon his creation by accident and thereby assume it was the real Seal. He said the individual who used it as a backdrop for Trump's speech had to go to some lengths to find it. The usage of it behind Mr. Trump, therefore, was no accident.
192
@Winston
You're right: done deliberately. No accident.
And I'm okay with that.
10
@Winston That makes it all even better!
6
There are definitely worse reasons to risk getting fired.
4
This is absolute magic.
Satire is officially dead. It was eaten by a shark which was jumping another shark which was on a reality TV show produced by Mark Burnett.
The fact that the seal is such a joyously petty, yet accurate, piece of art and was displayed behind this tortuous joke of a man and president due to the sheer laziness of his staff is perfect. It is more complete art and satire than even the best of SNL, the Daily Show, the Onion, or the staffs of John Oliver, Samantha Bee, and Bill Maher could create.
Hilarious for the irony of it, pathetic and depressing that it was real and not invention.
387
@DP Marvelous. Top notch stuff.
5
@DP
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Let's hope we don't have to read a second chapter.
7
The fake seal is the authentic Presidential Seal for Donald Trump since he is truly a fake and an illegitimately elected President. The design of the seal is appropriate too with golf clubs instead of arrows, a double headed Russian style eagle, and the motto in Spanish that Trump is a puppet.
It is ironic and indicative of his staff’s incompetence that for one hour he harangued his teenage admirers in front of his seal and likely they and he never noticed the difference.
In a just world maybe some would have a dawning recognition of the irony and have an epiphany of how horrific their President really is!
61
He nailed it. Along with Turning Point and Trump.
Outstanding...
64
Is it possible that our president and his staff have been infected by that brain eating amoeba?
It's not just that these guys can't shoot straight, it's like they don't even know what the gun is for and how to shoot it.
No one in this administration has any sense of history or what's proper otherwise they would have known what the Presidential Seal looked like and what it said.
Their lack of self-awareness and shame will once again preserve them and their psychological health, such as it is.
85
perfect !
46
He gave me the best laugh I've had so far this year. Stay safe and keep 'em coming, friend.
136
@Susan, Laugh at this quote from another day, another NY Times Op Ed, and another commenter:
"I thought George W. Bush was as low as we could go, but I lacked imagination."
5
Maybe that group of right wing adolescents Trump was addressing needed a liberal to run the AV equipment.
143
Many of us believe that the altered Presidential Seal is more representative of this President, and this President's leanings, than the authentic Presidential Seal.
The altered seal portrays Trumps great admiration for Russian autocracy. It also portrays his frequent golf outings, which bring him relaxation, while diverting taxpayer money to his personal account.
Hats off to Mr. Leazott for his correct interpretation of our wannabe autocrat!
435
@Phil Zaleon Agreed, there's almost (or actually) nothing authentic about 45 - unless one includes Doonesbury's years-ago episode of Zonker @ Trump U as an authentic portrait, as seems to be the case.
5
@Phil Zaleon
Right on!
This is a real keeper.
Perhaps Putin is teaching Trump how to sing the Russian national anthem in their secret meetings.
We all better learn it soon in order to keep Vladimir smiling and smirking.
Unlike Trump, Putin doesn't think that tweeting nicknames and slurs while watching Fox News and playing golf is fighting.
Putin sends his foes to hospitals, mental institutions, prisons, urns and coffins.
8
@Phil Zaleon
I'm surprised Democrats even noticed. Most don't know what the Presidential Seal looks like. Most don't even know how many stars are on the flag or how many states are in the Union. They can't even tell you what year Pearl Harbor happened. I had a millennial girl (23) ask me what year 9/11 was. Casual Democrats don't care about the country or Presidency
This is the kind of gross incompetence we have come to expect from the Trump. At least he saved the country money by not staffing many key positions. Also I hope we got a discount on the staff he did hire. They appear to be Dollar Store rejects.
70
@Keith Dow. If I worked for a 'Dollar Store' I would feel very insulted by your remark!
17
To think these Turning Point leaders chose this “seal” and then put it up, and none of them noticed it. Not one of them. (WaPo did.).
Perhaps this group has reached a turning point in terms of studying history. Time to do that.
85
Wonderful work. You made my morning too. Mr Leazott deserves a medal for encapsulating Trump's pettiness, corruption and golf into one splendid image.
Well done.
184
Awesome. Courage. The man is my hero. But shame to the White House staff for being so obtunded that they allowed such disrespect of the president. Hate the man, but they’re there to ensure his/her professionalism and stature, and they failed miserably. The President of the United States deserves a competent team. Which is not them. So glad that he did it! Truth will be revealed.
13
@Pietro Allar This "president" deserves the team he attracts to himself. What really competent, thoughtful, ethical person would work for this corrupt and compromised individual? The rot starts at the head.
41
@Pietro Allar
It's not them because it's not him.
Further, while the Office deserves the respect you mention, its current occupant deserves none, and is unworthy of the true seal.
3
@Pietro Allar
Thanks for the use of the word 'obtund'. Kind of onomatopoetic.
OTOH, disrespect to this "president" is entirely apropos.
All I can say is, Bravo!
72
Charles, while you didn't make the mistake yourself, I could NOT be more pleased with how your work got unveiled.
Thank you for helping us say the emperor has no clothes.
160
I really like this guy. The image is great! And he is surprisingly humble about his instant celebrity.
105
OMG, what a great story! You'd think some bozo (including our so-called President) would've noticed! You go, Charlie!
87
I noticed that the seal had the 2 headed Russian eagle, but missed a lot of the other details. Delicious! The seal making apps on the interwebs can be a ton of fun even when not used to skewer a political opponent.
32
Pretty sure this is a “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice” moment.
165
@Ann O. Dyne
Don’t you mean the”art” of the moral universe?
19
The spoof seal is hilarious. Sadly there will be many who consider the seal to be a sacred icon that should never be held up to ridicule, but consider the times we live in. You have man who has defied all the norms for the office of POTUS, who goes out of his way to meddle in the affairs of other nations while leaving his own in chaos. And then there’s the proven Russian meddling in the elections. You have to laugh or you’d cry.
296
@D. Knight
"Sadly there will be many who consider the seal to be a sacred icon that should never be held up to ridicule"
The sad thing is the same folks who would say that are 100% blind to the ridicule the current holder of that office has created for country.
43
@D. Knight consider who the president is? He leaves himself and this country up to ridicule
30
@D. Knight
I've been waiting for that. I expect there will be Trump supporters who never gave the seal a second thought before to start fetishizing it now. I did see one post yesterday where a person called this an act of blasphemy...
35
He seems like someone who could be your best friend. And for the record, most of us also cannot be categorized the way some are trying to categorize him. Kudos to him for his courage in the face of momentary fame.
97
LOVE IT. Made my morning. Also appreciate Mr. Leazott's determination to do his own thinking.
254
