No one's sure how a fake presidential seal featuring a Russian symbol and golf clubs got projected behind Trump

Not much note was taken of this at the time, but as The Washington Post points out, the image behind Trump was actually a parody of the presidential seal made to resemble Russia's coat of arms, and as if that weren't enough, the two-headed eagle in the image also seems to be holding golf clubs.

The Post tracked down the image to an online store, and a high-definition version makes the golf clubs clearer and shows it also seems to feature the words "45 is a puppet" in Spanish where "E pluribus unum" would normally be. But as to how it ended up projected behind Trump, a White House spokesperson had no answers, and a Turning Points USA spokesperson said they "can't figure out who did it yet"





Here's a picture of the official US presidential seal.



Here's the Russian eagle, which has two heads and derives from the coat of arms of the Russians czars.
