Meet the man who created the fake presidential seal — a former Republican fed up with Trump
Washington Post ^ | July 25, 2019 | Reis Thebault and Michael Brice-Saddler

Charles Leazott hadn’t thought about the seal in months.

The 46-year-old graphic designer threw it together after the 2016 presidential election — it was one part joke, one part catharsis. He used to be a proud Republican. He voted for George W. Bush. Twice.

But Donald J. Trump’s GOP was no longer his party. So he created a mock presidential seal to prove his point.

He substituted the arrows in the eagle’s claw for a set of golf clubs — a nod to the new president’s favorite pastime. In the other set of talons, he swapped the olive branch for a wad of cash and replaced the United States’ Latin motto with a Spanish insult. Then, his coup de grace: a two-headed imperial bird lifted straight from the Russian coat of arms, an homage to the president’s checkered history with the adversarial country.

Fine. The idiot created it, but who was the one who poster it on the wall, where Trump was going to speak?

More people need to be fired.

I suppose his husband was also “fed up” with the President.

“He used to be a proud Republican. He voted for George W. Bush. Twice. “

Oh yes, and don’t many of us here remember during the GWB years about people who voted for Ike or Nixon or Ford or even Reagan but thought that GWB was an idiot and that the Republican part of that time was no longer their Republican party.

He voted for GWB twice, that should excuse him.

He can say anything.

I do not believe his lies that he voted for Bush, ever.

He may have been a “registered Republican”, we seem to have a lot of moles in the GOP.

Pride wasn’t a factor. I voted for GW Bush for two reasons.
Algore and Jean effin Kerry.

I rem in the old days of the Rush Limbaugh show, whenever someone introduced themselves as, “a life-long Republican” , you were certain to hear a string of DNC talking points.

Charles Leazott is a Democrat, and always has been a Democrat.

If you're OK with a Democrat being appointed as a judge to the Federal courts, you're a Democrat.

Charles sLeazott is OK with Democrats being appointed to the Federal courts.

Clever and mildly humorous.

But, the illustration at the WaPo link is so pixillated I can barely see it, and I can't read the alleged Hispanic insult.

Bush League Republicans are as ticked off at President Trump for attempting to stop the fundamental transformation of the US into North Mexico as Democrats.

Some are still working to make it a reality while appearing to support the President.

There are progressives wearing R jerseys.
Anyone supporting amnesty is a progressive.
