Trump continues to illegally use the Presidential Seal at his golf courses, which is a crime punishable by up to six months in jail. Trump Org refuses to respond to press inquiries about it, and prosecutors are just ignoring it.

-Federal law prohibits the use of the seal to convey the impression of government approval of a private business.
-This is the fourth Trump golf course to be accused of improperly displaying a presidential seal.
It's the fake seal with the golf clubs, but I don't think that makes it OK.

Justice matters.

It's like speeding tickets via radar...
