From the case: Finally, Defendant Greenstreet's response to Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment identifies this Court as an "Admiralty Court" without further discussing his allegation. If his reference is to be construed as a jurisdictional challenge, his motion is denied. Others have attempted to persuade the judiciary that fringe on an American flag denotes a court of admiralty. In light of the fact that this Court has such a flag in its courtroom, the issue is addressed. The concept behind the theory the proponent asserts is that if a courtroom is adorned with a flag which happens to be fringed around the edges, such decor indicates that the court is one of admiralty jurisdiction exclusively. To think that a fringed flag adorning the courtroom somehow limits this Court's jurisdiction is frivolous. See Vella v. McCammon, 671 F. Supp. 1128, 1129 (S.D.Tex.1987) (describing petitioner's claim that court lacked jurisdiction because flag was fringed as "without merit" and "totally frivolous"). Unfortunately for Defendant Greenstreet, decor is not a determinant for jurisdiction.
I did notice. Commented to my wife last night as we watched. She didn’t know the significance. I looked it up (so my answer would be accurate) and explained to her

dont think it matters in this instance its all prerecorded, if it was live i would have something to say about it. good catch though ;)
Trumps been using the admiralty flag though, its been in several speeches, it hangs around the WH. Im sure we can find it in several videos.
It was on day one.
I noticed that yesterday... I don't assume alot of intent into it, I did notice it though.
