        Why not get paid in Euros? How are you going to spend USD?

        Oh, maybe should have been more clear: it does arrive in € in the end, so not technically "paid" but everything is calculated in USD primarily.

                  Trump's doctored presidential seal leads to firing

                  A member of a conservative US group has been fired after projecting a doctored version of the presidential seal at an event featuring President Donald Trump.

                  A representative for the group, Turning Point USA, told the Washington Post that the fake seal was a mistake, the result of a rushed online search.

                  But while the group called the slip-up "unacceptable", they maintained there was no "malicious intent".

                  So what's the story behind the doctored presidential seal?

                  When Mr Trump took to the stage at Turning Point USA's student summit, the president looked to be in his element, greeted by a crowd of adoring young conservatives.

                  After a 12-minute video detailing his journey to the White House, Mr Trump addressed the group, his remarks met with raucous applause.

                  "There's never been anything like this," Mr Trump said to the crowd.

                  But upon closer inspection, something about the president's presentation appeared amiss. First noted by the Washington Post, the seal that was flashed on screen as Mr Trump walked on stage had several calculated tweaks - all of which seemed to poke fun at the president.

                  Someone is out of a job after a fake seal appeared behind Mr Trump. Can you spot what's wrong?

                      Considering the state of their health care system, that's probably closer to the truth.
