50 years from now, this spot is the most coveted speech of any campaign. Candidates spend millions to speak there and have to book years in advance. No one remembers why they started giving speeches there.
Lmao how did I forget about this
Is this like True lmao
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
Not exactly better
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.
So weird
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.
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!!
Yes my child. That group has no bottom when it comes to dysfunctional.
Bruh, it happened. Look it up. OP is not bullshitting.
How did you miss this one? It was even referenced on iasip it's so mainstream. It was gloriously stupid.
"Next to a dildo store"
Is this store like... specialized? Or is this just a really weird way to refer to a sex shop
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.
All stores are dildo stores if you’re brave enough.
Really disheartening that I have to peel back a couple layers above to get to the goods here.
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
Lmao I still can't believe this happened
Rumor has it you can see the trucks from this place circulation at PHL after dark. I've seen this once myself.
