To think the Four Seasons Total Landscaping farce is the funniest thing to have happened in 2020

I’m still laughing about this.

Trump’s people thought they were booking the Four Seasons hotel in Philadelphia for his big presser yesterday, and it turned out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium where Rudy Giuliani had to then speak. Surreal, but yet somehow a fitting end to the last 4 years of buffoonery.

Didn't realise the conference had actually taken place. Grin

It is a LIE to say that we bungled it. FAKE NEWS! Four Seasons Total Landscaping is a BEAUTIFUL car park. Make dildo shops GREAT AGAIN. Again.

DH thinks it must have been an inside job - disguntled employee taking a last opportunity for revenge.

BruceAndNosh · 08/11/2020 10:38

And a reporter telling Rudi that Biden had been declared winner, just as he was getting started.

CarolineForbes · 08/11/2020 10:39

I just looked up the sex shop of google street view as I couldn’t believe the car park press conference could get better. It’s called Fantasy Island and its sign says it sells DVDs, lotions, adult books and viewing booths. I am crying laughing about this!

BruceAndNosh · 08/11/2020 10:39

Campaign are insisting it was all intentional, they wanted to support a local business and somewhere quiet away from all the Biden supporters in busy areas.
Yeah. Right

Oblomov20 · 08/11/2020 10:42

Can't believe they didn't quickly book another hotel.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 08/11/2020 10:45

I missed this in the news - I was mystified by twitter references to B&Q car parks.
Makes a lot of sense now, thanks for posting.

Courts decide elections?! Thank god they got their arse handed to them by the American electorate.

Perhaps it was a staffer having the last laugh Grin

The owner of the sex shop was reported as complaining because the press cars were blocking his parking lot for his customers.

@wigglerose

WHAT? I thought they'd realise they'd messed up and quickly book somewhere else.

They ACTUALLY DID THE PRESS CONFERENCE THERE?

OH. MY. GOD.

I suspect they did try, and the Four Seasons Hotel decided they wanted nothing to do with Trump.
Mummyoflittledragon · 08/11/2020 10:54

This is classic! 2020 has been a shitty year. Sometimes there are silver linings...

SoupDragon · 08/11/2020 10:55

Couldn't they have used one of the "viewing booths" next door?

grisen · 08/11/2020 10:57

@PuppyMonkey

It’s gold. Grin

But, I keep wondering - did the person who took the booking at the landscape business not mention at any point “sorry mate, we’re a landscaping business, we don’t usually have space available for hire for events.” They just answered the phone and heard who it was and then said “Yes ok, that’s fine - that’ll be 200 dollars, see you all later - Doug the foreman will be along to open the gates.”Confused

This! Grin
DanielODonkey · 08/11/2020 10:57

In my head, the Four Seasons Total Landscaping owners knew exactly what they were doing and absolutely didnt want to correct the Trump campaign. Must be Democrats, and wanted to see if the bluster would end up with a press conference in their car park.

If I were FSTL I absolutely would have just let them crack on knowing just how embarrassing it was for them and how ridiculous the whole thing looked. It's absolute perfection.

Gingernaut · 08/11/2020 10:59

I want FSTL to prosper from today and evermore. They are heroes.

Mrsmorton · 08/11/2020 11:04

This is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever seen unfold.

BruceAndNosh · 08/11/2020 11:04

I surprised they didn't end up having a press conference standing on a 4 season pizza

Amazing publicity for them! Sales are seriously going to take off after this - if they've got any business sense they'll capitalise on it.
LongPauseNoAnswer · 08/11/2020 11:05

2020 redeemed itself this week and this press conference was the proverbial cherry.

I guffawed when I saw the photos of Giuliani in the car park. Magic. Grin

BloggersBlog · 08/11/2020 11:09

Oh this is gold!! I hadnt read about it, thank you OP Grin

Rudi in his rightful place, near dirt and muck Grin

ancientgran · 08/11/2020 11:09

Maybe I'm soft but I'm worrying about some junior who was given this task and is going to get hell for the mix up.

Gingernaut · 08/11/2020 11:09

@BruceAndNosh, offering four seasons pizza from a hospitality trestle table, with cool coffee and bottles of warm mineral water and nasty, waxy paper napkins that don't wipe anything up.
