Trump Organization Using the Presidential Seal

https://politicalwire.com/2018/03/05/trump-organization-using-presidential-seal/

"SNIP.........


ProPublica: “In recent weeks, the Trump Organization has ordered the manufacture of new tee markers for golf courses that are emblazoned with the seal of the President of the United States. Under federal law, the seal’s use is permitted only for official government business. Misuse can be a crime.”

“Ethics experts have long been on the lookout for signs that the Trump Organization would exploit the office of the presidency for commercial gain. Several said that using the presidential seal on the company’s golf courses would fall into this category.”

He's probably peddling a whole line of tacky, gold painted souvenirs with the presidential seal at all his foreign properties. If he thought he could get away with it, Trump would build a retail store on the WH grounds to schlep his shoddy merchandise, book suites in his tawdry hotels and peddle Ivanka's overpriced duds made by underpaid, exploited women.
