According to Forbes, U.S. President Trump used the presidential seal podium at a private dinner for Meme coin TRUMP holders, which may violate Title 18, Section 713 of the United States Code. This law prohibits the use of the presidential seal in a manner that implies government endorsement, with violators subject to 6 months imprisonment or a fine.
Legal experts point out that the U.S. presidential seal is limited to official occasions, and previous presidents such as Obama and Biden have not used this emblem in private commercial activities. The White House has yet to respond to media inquiries regarding the legality of the seal's use.
