Trump-Licensed Presidential Seal Beer Pong Set Could Violate Federal Law

[douglas9]

GodBlessTheUSABible.com, which is affiliated with musician Lee Greenwood, sells a Donald Trump Record Player featuring the unaltered presidential seal on its cover and Patriotic Pong, a beer pong set displaying the seal’s image but with text reading “Donald J. Trump President of the United States” instead of the official seal’s text.

Federal law prohibits anyone—unless authorized under regulations prescribed by the president and published in the Federal Register—from manufacturing or selling likenesses of the presidential seal or “any substantial part thereof” in a way that could suggest a sponsorship, with violations punishable by fines and up to six months in prison.

While Trump’s golf courses have displayed the presidential seal, the beer pong set and record player appear to be the first time the seal has appeared on merchandise connected to Trump.

The White House referred questions to the Trump Organization, and the Trump Organization, GodBlessTheUSABible.com and Greenwood did not respond to requests for comment.

3. I expect classier merchandise from GodBlessTheUSABible.com.

Beerpong, and a record player? Surely Lee Greenwood's fans have worn out all their lp's by now...

4. I can't wait to see a full accounting of everything he has lifted from the American people.

Why wouldn’t he think the Presidential Seal was his to steal!

5. A record player that turns at 34 rpm as a gag gift would sell better.

Why not go fully retro and build it with a winder and a spring, capturing the Amish market at the same time.

7. Lee Greenwoods a scumbag, just like Trump.

8. It really doesn't matter one iota.

Trump has never met a law which he thought applied to him. He has broken/violated on average a law per day and nothing, absolutely NOTHING is done about it. He will continue breaking laws, murdering people on the high seas (and elsewhere?) until he croaks.
