Just embarrassing. Who was in charge of the conference and how did they let this slip by?

"Just embarrassing. Who was in charge of the conference and how did they let this slip by?"

I don't know who let it slip by, but people mistakenly call the flags "Russian flags." The Russian flag doesn't have Trump's name on it, and - consisting of three bands of different colors - it is not particularly distinctive or memorable.

And, since it is red, white, and blue, it could easily be misunderstood as representing the colors of the American flag, as in the bunting you see at many patriotic events, or even on Obama's logo.
