Former President Donald Trump's campaign has introduced something new: the "Official Team Trump" seal. If you see that seal on a tweet or Facebook post, you know it's from Team Trump.

The Hill reports:
Former President Trump’s presidential campaign unveiled a new endorsement seal Friday aimed at stopping scammers who falsely claim an affiliation with Trump and his campaign while fundraising.
Trump’s campaign announced Friday it would grant a “Seal of Approval” to a group of candidates and committees that the president endorses or supports. The gold seal, which reads “Official Team Trump,” is intended to distinguish between “authorized uses of his name and likeness and unauthorized uses,” the campaign said.

The big problem is that the seal is out in the wild and anyone can use it anywhere; for example:
BREAKING: Trump admits he can't win, is just raising money for his legal fees, drops out of race.

To be honest, we haven't seen it used sincerely yet, but maybe it's a Truth Social thing. Here's a clean copy in case anyone wants to join Team Trump:
