The other Four Seasons: Trump team holds press conference at suburban garden centre
Four Seasons #FourSeasons
Donald Trump’s bid to hang on to the White House is promising to end in farce if his campaign’s choice of venue for a crucial press conference is anything to go by.
On Saturday morning, as Trump played golf and continued to baselessly accuse the Democrats of stealing the election for Joe Biden, he announced, in a Tweet since deleted, that there would be a “Big press conference” at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia.
That was quickly clarified, however. It was not the noted hotel, but Four Seasons Total Landscaping, a suburban business situated between a crematorium and an adult book store on the outskirts of the city.
The Trump campaign has not publicly said whether this was, as it would first appear, a case of mistaken identity. But either way, the press conference, headlined by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, went ahead in the car park of the garden centre.
Not unexpectedly, social media embraced this turn of events.

The press conference was also notable for Giuliani, who was describing the forthcoming legal challenges to the result, being told by a reporter that Joe Biden had just been declared the winner of the election. His response: “Don’t be ridiculous.”
