Totally true. They thought they gave the media the address to the “Four Seasons,” but everyone showed up to “Four Seasons Total Landscaping” and these nutters decided not to cancel or move to another venue.

They gave a bizarre press conference at a landscaping company sandwiched between a crematorium and sex shop.

That's not what it was.

They announced it would be at the Four Seasons, but the Four Seasons is the fucking Four Seasons. You can't just drop by for the afternoon.

So after they'd committed to it being at the Four Seasons and not being able to get it at the Four Seasons, they held it at a place called Four Seasons Landscaping, and just fucking insisted that they had always intended to hold what they kept saying was such an important meeting at a landscaping company in New Jersey.

Also wrong. Giuliani picked the landscaping company because it was in one of the only red parts of Philly. Trump didn't understand and made a post just saying the press conference was at "Four Seasons" then followed it up with a post about the actual location later. And honestly, booking the place on purpose might be a sadder move than doing it by accident.

Agreed. Just saying that normal people would’ve popped into the local Hilton Garden Inn or Hyatt a grabbed one of those bland event rooms that local midsize businesses or city officials use for last minute gatherings. They’re basically an empty bland room with chairs, a podium, wifi and power outlets.

Probably could’ve had everyone in one of those in 2-3 hours.

But then they'd have to admit they couldn't get the Four Seasons.

This way they could claim everyone else was dumb for assuming it wasn't the landscaping company.

It's a small distinction but a thousand times worse. They literally couldn't believe they were weong

Lol.

Probably an innocent mistake.

I've made innocent mistakes and busted my ass to correct them, out of loyalty to my employer, after they were loyal to me.

I can't imagine why that didn't happen here...(This is sarcasm. I actually have a pretty good guess why.)

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

The mistake makes total sense. The decision to follow through with the press conference was weird AF though.

People do emergency press conferences in random hotel event rooms all the time. Those are incredibly easy to book in at the last minute.

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!!! Yes it really happened and yes it was as absurd as it sounds.

Also look up Trump's lawyer sweating black sweat after losing one of the election denial cases!!

[-] lemonSqueezy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Yes my child. That group has no bottom when it comes to dysfunctional.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Bruh, it happened. Look it up. OP is not bullshitting.

"Next to a dildo store"

Is this store like... specialized? Or is this just a really weird way to refer to a sex shop

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Reference is to this classic tweet

“I could write jokes for 800 years and I’d never think of something funnier than Trump booking the Four Seasons for his big presser, and it turning out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium,” TV writer Zack Bornstein wrote on Twitter.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

All stores are dildo stores if you’re brave enough.

[-] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Really disheartening that I have to peel back a couple layers above to get to the goods here.

[-] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I love thinking that the proprietors knew of their confusion but still allowed them to book for the money.

ETA: idk what the owners were thinking but that fantasy makes me smile

[-] snackzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Rumor has it you can see the trucks from this place circulation at PHL after dark. I've seen this once myself.

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Lmao I still can't believe this happened
