Trump said it would be at “the Four Seasons” but didn’t reserve shit. The hotel said, lol, no it won’t be.
Walking it back and changing to a new venue would make him look incompetent and weak, as though he didn’t plan ahead and like he lacks the authority and power to compel the booking at the hotel. So, some greasy sycophant snorted out a new idea, which is to find another business in the city with the name “Four Seasons” so they can spin it as a 9D chess move.
their hope was that instead of seeing “wow he didn’t plan his speech”, people would see “aha! we merely didn’t understand his plan!” - and instead of “wow he doesn’t command enough respect to make a hotel bow”, his fans would see “haha! he dunked on the hotel! they thought he meant them because they think they’re hot shit, but really our boy outwitted those execs and supported a local blue collar business!”
Trump naturally loved this because it saved his ego. and here we are.
Kinda like the sharpy hurricane: he’d rather do something that makes him look stupid and petty, than admit to having been wrong about something. Combine a very fragile ego with stupidity and you end up with antics like this.
