With the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem last week I saw an Evangelical (Zionist-supporting) Christian share a video, in which a guy is describing the Great Seal of the United States. He points to the 13 stars and notes that they were arranged to form the Star of David and says this was done as a gesture to Haym Salomon. Now, this just seems like a coincidence to me and not an actual gesture to Salomon. Has anyone found any supporting documents that says this is true? Or is this folklore in the making?
This is folklore. There is no supporting historical document or claim that shows that this was the case, as far as I'm aware, and numerous fact-checking sites have looked into this and debunked it as well. Government records and historians who have looked into the history of the seal have not found any records either suggesting this theory. This is rather old folklore that comes up every so often.
