People are often very careless about that sort of thing, so I’m inclined to chalk it up to coincidence. I suppose it could be a thing where someone knew it would generate press but also that 99% of the audience wouldn’t care or see it as an honest mistake, but it could also just be an honest mistake.

Particularly with the one in the photo, there’s nothing that would cause anyone to give it a second glance unless they recognized it as being associated with Q, if they even knew what Q is. Not every person in the world is cued in to American politics enough to recognize that.
