It is clear that he used the seal to send the false impression that he was already the President. That’s the whole point — to make him look presidential.

So it’s clear he has violated the law. On the other hand, he’s a Democrat, so laws don’t really apply to him. Plus, he’s black (in case you didn’t notice), so it would be racist to claim he broke the law.
