In a widely publicized misstep, the organizers of a college Republicans’ event in the nation’s capital projected a doctored version of the U.S. presidential seal behind President Donald Trump for a minute or two on stage this week.
One person suspected of finding and showing the image ― with its references to Russia and Trump’s golf habit ― was swiftly fired.
But the man who created the doctored, satirical seal has only kind words for whoever pulled the stunt.
“I love them,” said Charles Leazott, a former Republican and graphic designer who was tracked down by The Washington Post on Thursday. Leazott created the seal as a joke just after the 2016 election and told the Post he never expected it to blow up in the news.
The designer said he couldn’t be sure whether the person who chose his graphic was “wildly incompetent or the best troll ever,” but suspects the explanation given by the conservative group Turning Point USA, which hosted Trump, is nonsense. Turning Point said the seal ended up onscreen due to a last-minute error in finding a high-resolution image to project behind the president.
“You have to look for this,” Leazott told the newspaper. “There’s no way this was an accident, is all I’m saying.”
Turning Point managed to display an accurate representation of the presidential seal later during the president’s 80-minute speech.
The doctored image can be traced back to a website Leazott set up to sell shirts and other merchandise featuring the doctored seal. Its central bald eagle has two heads instead of one ― resembling the Russian coat of arms ― and clutches golf clubs in one of its talons. A scroll above the eagle reads, in Spanish, “45 is a puppet.”
Leazott said his T-shirts are now sold out. A photo of Trump in front of the seal is his new computer desktop background.
“Whoever put that up is my absolute hero,” he told the Post.
The 1st Amendment allows Ma$$ive A$$holes to ply their middle school humor whenever and wherever they choose. The Left Coup Group are just about finished. Even SNL during Weekend Update included some anti Pocahontas humor which I took as a White Flag waved at the Republic.The Great A$$kicking is about to commence. Pay attention. There will be a Quiz.
ReplyDelete"45 es una marioneta"
ReplyDeleteNo. He's a White Knight from the Heartland. Still has his Holy 1st Communion money. Stating the obvious is not humor. It's sour grapes. PS in today's Hi Tech world the Big Bank in the Sky has gone strictly wireless. PAY ATTENTION!
ReplyDeletei was paying close attention when i read this in the story;

It is the ADELSON Administration . .... Bought and PAID FOR.
ReplyDeleteRemember how "rich" Trump was "self funded" and therefore could not be influenced by contributions?"! Well $259 million bought him. Those funds came from Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer and Bernard Marcus, donors who have made no secret of their desire for the United States to destroy the Islamic Republic. Adelson, who alongside his wife Miriam are the biggest donors to Trump and the GOP, contributed $205 million to Republicans in the past two cycles and reportedly sent $35 million Trump’s presidential bid.
Sheldon Adelson BRIBED Trump and the Republicans .... This does not include the "favorable and unusual" so-called loans granted Kushner and ?Trump? who is notorious for being in financial difficulty and is desperately hiding his taxes. Trump has lots of energy for defending his tax returns but very little for defending Our borders. Trump's lawyers will appeal and fight this tooth and nail for his Taxes. But when some P.O.S. "judge" treasonously rules against defending this Nation's borders from Invaders Trump just shruggs and submits. Makes empty threats about where to put the Invaders, and goes back to putting ISRAEL FIRST.
Thousands of American Citizens have been murdered by ILLEGALS since 9/11.... and tRUMP is worried about Iran because Israel TOLD HIM TO. tRUMP is pissing all over Americans ..... so, yes, there IS TRUTH to that dossier.
Trump has diverted American resources to granting Sheldon Adelson's every wish for a FOREIGN nation.
Trump has NOT fulfilled his DUTY and Promises to the American People as he has focused on Israel.
Trump is attempting to embroil this Nation in a foreign war through blatant LIES.
FIRST Trump claims scuba divers planted 90lb. Limpet mines 12 feet up the side of a ship while bobbing in the water!
SECOND Iran shoots down US drone. I am surprised more are not shot down. Usually the US uses them against defenseless enemies, but that is apparently not the case with Iran. What if Russia starts flying drones over OUR coastline?
America-"I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you .... MOMMY! Iran HIT ME!".
Why would we be SPYING on open water??? The debris was in Iranian territory ..... it did not WALK there.

CURE: Trump, Adelson, Kushner, Ivanka, Pompeo, Bolton, need to go on trial for treason.
netanyahu has been an American citizen twice, and has twice renounced his citizenship.
ReplyDeleteso he is a perfect candidate for POTUS in this New American Century.
In a way the 'improved' seal is hilarious...but disrespectful at the same time.
ReplyDeleteand that's the best they can do... yawn. I imagine the sjf "social justice failures" are high fiving each other over this, as though it's a victory or something.. can't beat trump in a fair election but they can put up picture.. oh and to put up that pic, they had to do what dems always have to do to achieve anything, CHEAT AND LIE! Which once again, shows the world what failures do!
ReplyDeleteWe should show Trump all the respect he deserves.
