The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding Donald Trump's eligibility for the Colorado ballot, with observers noting the justices seemed skeptical of the state's position. Simultaneously, a federal appeals court rejected Trump's claims of broad presidential immunity. A hypothetical scenario involving a president ordering "SEAL Team 6" to assassinate a political rival became a central point of debate in the media coverage of the immunity case.

### Media Comparison of Trump Presidential Immunity Hearing

A "3x3" comparison of ABC, NBC, and CBS coverage of Donald Trump's federal immunity hearing shows nearly identical framing. All three networks focused on a hypothetical question from Judge Florence Pan regarding whether a president could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival without facing prosecution. The hosts note that the media avoids discussing Barack Obama's authorization of drone strikes against American citizens while focusing on Trump's legal arguments.

President Donald Trump was captured on camera wearing a dark face mask featuring the presidential seal during a visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. This shift in optics is viewed as a move toward the "unity" narrative promoted by health organizations. Speculation exists regarding the future release of branded campaign masks.

### Benjamin Franklin Turkey Myth, Presidential Seal History

- **Episode:** [1194: Mint19](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1194-mint19.md)
- **Published:** 2019-12-01
- **Time:** 18:33–22:22
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1194-mint19/chapter/benjamin-franklin-turkey-myth-presidential-seal-history.md

The popular belief that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird is debunked as folklore popularized by a 1962 New Yorker magazine cover. While Franklin criticized the bald eagle in a letter to his daughter, he never formally proposed the turkey as a replacement. Additionally, the myth that the eagle on the presidential seal changes direction during wartime is corrected, noting Harry Truman permanently changed the eagle to face the olive branch in 1945.

Observations of President Barack Obama's public appearances reveal the use of a personal logo and the website BarackObama.com on his podium instead of the traditional presidential seal. The hosts question the legality and ethics of a sitting president continuing to solicit donations and maintain a campaign-style staff. This shift is characterized as a new standard in presidential branding and communication.

Barack Obama introduced a podium sign labeled "Office of the President-elect," a designation that does not officially exist in the U.S. government structure. This move is characterized as a sophisticated branding exercise to project presidential authority before the inauguration. The imagery has appeared prominently on the front pages of international publications like the Financial Times.
