18 U.S. Code § 713 - Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congresshttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/713#
I remember first hearing about the Trump Bible and was reminded of an old high school friend who used to sardonically whisper "And no one else" at any sufficiently zealous patriotic gathering where it would conclude with "God Bless the USA."
Tried to make the cover more authentic to really capture the spirit of the Trump administration.
I don't think anyone actually read the law including the Forbes article. Apparently my previous comment no one seems to understand even the most perfunctory things about the law.
There is no general prohibition about using the seal of the United States. It is only violating these provisions when you use it in a way where a reasonable person would believe it is being endorsed by the United States government.
Clearly based upon the insanity in these comments no one believes that these things are actually endorsed by the government they're just upset at Trump and they're upset at the usage of the seal. Not liking it doesn't violate the law you actually believing that these things are somehow part of the federal government would. As you all represent reasonable people and clearly don't believe this including the author of this article it's just this vague threat that it could violate the law.
If you want it to violate the law you're going to have to be a lot dumber than you actually are or find a bunch of dumber people. Then you would have a case where you could show that these reasonably dumb people believe these are things from our federal government.
Your feelings about something aren't what matters. Try and set them aside.

Then why are they selling beer pong with the presidential seal on it?
