Corraleno Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I don't know why the podium just says White House these days, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with all the batshit crazy QAnon conspiracy theories, and I would urge you to not get sucked into that stuff. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay clear of anything that's conspiracy YouTube's and news stations. I tried to look up historical facts and protocols and found nothing yet.

Suzanne in ABQ Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 My guess is that the press conferences are being held in a different space, a larger space that allows for social distancing between the reporters, so it's a different podium. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far back can I roll my eyes. Oh, and by the way, social distancing is just a social experiment that the government is doing to us because they can. /s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! That makes entirely too much sense.🤨 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoraBora Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I guess it's because, officially, it's a WH Task Force briefing, and a lot of people apart from the president speak at that podium. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Maybe the podium is more difficult to clean with the seal on it, and they are making some effort to COVID clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I remember seeing something a while back (before Covid) that the president rarely spoke from a podium with the presidential seal because he would just pop by the press briefings and speak unplanned. The fluid, unscheduled manner in which he addressed the press had meant that he wasn't really using a podium with the seal most times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason. When the president is not the main speaker, when others speak for significant time, then there is no presidential seal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 7 minutes ago, CuriousMomof3 said: But wouldn't such aliens just use the presidential seal? No, we have aliens who are willing to break all sorts of laws (I'm sure there's a law against abducting the president and substituting an alien imposter) but risk their entire plan because they aren't dishonest enough to use the presidential seal? Can anyone zoom in and see if he’s got a zipper on his forehead? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
