How do you arrange for a physical letter on a backdrop to a platform
used for a political conference?
It would have to be set in place at least a few days in advance, due to
the security surrounding such a conference, survive a couple of days of
conference speeches from the same rostrum, but the letter must drop off
in the hour of the main closing speech, and not before or after.

flash photos, prior or during the relevant speech.
Even if there was, its not like its the days of magnesium flash powder
and loads of radiant heat around.
Can it be just coincidence, that some glue could fail , in exactly the
right hour, perhaps 150 hours on, from being set-up ?

If you can arrange to talk to former President Obama, tell him that you're an operative of either North Korea or Iran and you can pick up a surplus Hellfire for a small donation to the DNC.

I've just thought of a low tec method. It would require the delegates to
have pre-assigned seats in the auditorium, well at least the first few
rows, very likely.
During the setting up, the week before, use week glue for one of the
letters on the lowest row, not so week that it could possibly fail due
to normal temperature changes.
Then a piece of nylon fishing line attached to that letter and fed under
the carpet, and up through a tiny hole under the numbered seat of the
plant, not necessarily under that unfunny "comedian". Reach down , from
a dropped pen and grab the fishing line at some point.
Perhaps someone has acces to a slow-mo version of the coverage of the
"don't mention the f wors to Mrs May" event, to see if the letter very
casually dropped off.
We'd never hear about such a stunt, because it would mean 2 very serious
security lapses in one hour, and having one caught on media cameras is
quite enough.

Suborn the camera operation, and treat the backdrop as a green-screeh.

You just key the image of the letter to overlay, on everyone's video screen,
the backdrop.
Instead of moving an object (the letter) you just manipulate the image.
That's what a 'political conference' really is, when it's on-camera: an image.
Or, if you want to get really deeply involved, you hire a news crew
and get press credentials and everything.

post? I dislike posting political stuff on newsnet because I don't
look at any political newsgroups. Buuuut, I will make an exception in
this case. If the letter "T" dropped from the word "Trump" I would
have to say it was just the Universe making a spelling correction.
Actually, that was not a political statement. Donald Trump is an ass.
It wouldn't matter which, if any, political party he claimed to be
aligned with. He is still an ass.
