      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.

        I thought the hotel denied them the space so they asked the landscaping company if they could do it there so they wouldn’t have to admit they were denied the space

            Options were to find a new venue / time and admit an honest mistake, or so the weird Trump thing, never admit error, and claim they intended to book a rando landscaping company next to a sex shop.

              That was unsurprisingly the sex shops biggest sales day they’ve ever had. Sold out of pegging and bdsm items within minutes after the rally. The crematorium also got a couple extra sales from the old folks having heart attacks from rage.

        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.)

          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!!
