A conservative aide has been fired after the US president found himself giving a speech in front of a doctored presidential seal, Sky News reports.
Donald Trump seemed unaware of the hoax image - which included a two-headed eagle holding golf clubs and cash in its talons.
Instead of the Latin "E pluribus unum" (from many one), the words were in Spanish and translated to "45 is a puppet", referring to Mr Trump being the 45th president of the United States.
The bird's chest also had hammer and sickle symbols on it.
An audiovisual aide for the conservative student group Turning Point USA was fired over the gaffe, which is being blamed on a Google Images search gone wrong.
A White House spokesman said: "We never saw the seal in question before it appeared in the video.
"The White House had no knowledge of it."
By contrast, the official seal features an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch.
Mr Trump had been greeted enthusiastically by the young audience before his 80-minute speech at the student summit on Tuesday.
However, they also seemed unaware of the mistake that had been made on the screen behind him.
Turning Point USA, which hosted the event, is a political non-profit group which, among other activities, maintains a list of college professors it thinks are too liberal.
