MARKETING THE PRESIDENCY: Trump International ordered dozens of round, 12-inch replicas of the presidential seal to be placed next to the tee boxes at Trump golf course holes.
“Whoever knowingly displays any printed...likeness of the...seals of the President...in...any advertisement...or on any building... in a manner reasonably calculated to convey...approval by the Government...shall be fined...or imprisoned not more than six months” 18 U.S.C. § 713

So what. This matters why? How much were the Clintons or the Obamas worth when they came into office? Let’s chat about that for awhile shall we?

SPC Kevin Ford - Well, let’s just put it this way. He didn’t come into office with only a modest sum and won’t leave enriched 10 to 50 fold.
Clinton’s are nothing but cheap grifters. Obama’s? Well let’s,just say they never gave two shits about the country they led. Globalist scum.

PO3 John Wagner - That’s simply because it is relatively easy to take a dollar and increase it 1000 fold and extremely difficult to double a billion dollars. It has nothing to do with the propriety or impropriety of the individuals.

They didn’t have that when they actually left office. The clintons were basically broke when he left office. The money came after. So this meme means nothing. The wealth came from book sales and speaking fees. We also actually get to see their taxes but Trump has never shown us his. We don’t know what he really has.

You know of course that that law was aimed at people who own businesses, who are trying to imply approval and therefore endorsement of the President of the United States where none exists, right? You know it's not aimed at the President, right?

PO3 John Wagner
A1C Doug Towsley - No doubt the truth is boring. It usually is.
I only tell stories for which I was present and as a rule I only tell them to those who know I speak truth.
Telling stories of others misfortune is bad karma even if the stories are interesting.
It's far more fun to wish misfortune on those who deeply deserve it.
It only saddens me to hear of their misfortune if I shouldn't have been there to witness or deal it.
And there's a nasty dark side to me that I scarcely knew before I just put it to print.

What it comes down to is using the office for personal gain. This is something that is absolutely against the constitution.

For me, the problem is that the seal does not represent Trump or his private business or any other President we have had. It is the seal of the President of the United States. It belongs to the people and we allow the person elected as President to use, but not as a marketing tool.
