The eagle on Donald Trumps official card seems to be a free stock photo from Shutterstock – indy100

Former U.S. President Donald Trumps PAC unveiled the official Trump card this week via campaign email, and the token emblem a golden eagle seems to be a free stock image.

In an email sent on September 2, Trumps PAC said, the card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country, as reported by Business Insider. They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and Im putting my full trust in you. In a second email, they added: Were about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trumps STRONGEST supporters.

The piece of plastic had already been repeatedly compared to Nazi paraphernalia, and one of the designs contained a typo, mispelling official. And now, Insider has revealed that the creators of the official cards, which cost $45, seemingly obtained their eagle imagery from Shutterstock, free of charge.

Titled Golden Eagle with wings spread, the file is available for free download by signing up for a Shutterstock trial. Its one of the most popular eagle options on the site, and the graphic designer who hosts the image is David Randall Peters. Its also the third option to come up when you search golden eagle illustration on the site, so it doesnt take a particularly deep dive to uncover its origins.

Below is an image of the stock photo, which can be downloaded as a high-resolution file for free, if you feel so inclined.
