Trump Shares Image of Presidential Seal
Trump posts aerial photograph of the Presidential Seal installed on a manicured lawn without commentary.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump shared an aerial photograph of the Seal of the President of the United States, displayed as a large ground installation on a green lawn.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “PRESIDENT THE SEAL OF THE PLURIBUS UNUM UNITED STATES” on October 15, 2026 at 12:54 AM ET.
This is Trump’s 1st message released today, and the last post was 1 hour ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 32 of his 553 posts over the last 30 days classified as Uncategorized posts.
The image shows the Presidential Seal rendered in stone or concrete on a manicured green lawn. The seal features the bald eagle at center holding an olive branch in its left talon and arrows in its right talon. A shield sits on the eagle’s chest, and stars ring the inner circle. Text reading “SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES” circles the outer ring, while the banner in the eagle’s beak reads “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
A pathway extends from the top of the seal northward across the lawn. A tree with yellow-green foliage stands at the upper right edge of the frame. A circular feature appears partially visible at the top of the photograph.
Trump posted the image without additional commentary or explanation. The post contained only fragmented text matching the words visible on the seal itself. No caption identified the location of the installation or the occasion for sharing the photograph.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
