(It is attributed that at least since 2005 the use of a Coat of Arms for the last name Trump has been in use in several properties owned and/or managed by Trump and/or his multiple investment organizations (namely The Trump Organization). This coat of arms engraved at the main entrance of the The Trump Park Avenue in New York City is the family's Coat of Arms) (cropped image taken from the original located here: https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/, source: https://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/).

Here's a close-up version of the coat of arms above, in silver and gold, together with an article dating back to 2012 citing the authorization to use a variant of this coat of arms authorized by Scotland, with the official description of the would be coat of arms as follows: "The Lion Rampant makes reference to Scotland and the stars to America. Three chevronels are used to denote sky, sand dunes and sea" and "'The double-sided eagle represents the dual nature and nationality of Trump's heritage". 'The eagle clutches golf balls, making reference to the great name of golf, and the motto "Numquam Concedere" is Latin for "Never Give Up" - Trump's philosophy.'" and the authorization granted to the family to use this coat of arms)

It is alleged that the original Trump coat of arms was actually "a near-identical copy of one registered in 1939 by Joseph Edward Davies, the New York Times reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/28/business/trump-coat-of-arms.html), where the original said "Integritas", now it says "Trump". Davies was an American diplomat and husband to Marjorie Merriweather Post, who built the Mar-a-Lago resort that now belongs to the president, and where presumably he first saw the coat of arms. The similarity was spotted by Davies' grandson, former US senator Joseph Tydings, on a visit to the resort. He told the Times he had not given permission to the Trump Organization to use the arms. It drew the attention of heraldic officials in Scotland when Mr Trump attempted to brand a new golf course in Aberdeen with the adulterated arms. They noticed that he hadn't registered it with the Court of the Lord Lyon.". "We would never allow this as a new coat of arms," said John Petrie, Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms at the college. "There needs to be at least two lineal differences from something that's been granted in the past." The fact that Mr Trump had changed the colours of the crest to black and gold was not considered sufficient, Mr Petrie said."

A previous categorization into "old" and "new" logo flags was used, but they are rather indeed Trump National Golf Club and Trump International Golf Club pin flags, respectively, issued for each golf course (https://www.trumpgolf.com/our-story and https://www.trumpgolf.com/Our-Courses), in this case, the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles and the Trump International Golf Club Dubai). These are sold at the Trumpstore.com.

Hence, this is a Business Unit (Division) of the Trump Organization, a group of about 500 business entities of which Donald J. Trump is the sole or principal owner. Around 250 of these entities use the Trump name. The organization was founded in 1927 by Donald Trump's paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, and his father, Fred Trump, as E. Trump & Son. Donald J. Trump began leading it in 1971, renamed it around 1973, and handed off its leadership to his children in 2016 when he won the 2016 United States presidential election.
