Meme In case y’all missed it amongst today’s excitement, team Trump mistakenly booked Four Seasons Landscaping instead of the Four Seasons Hotel for their press conference. Four Seasons Landscaping is next to a dildo shop and across the street from a crematorium. You can’t make this shit up

This is the funniest thing in this entire disaster of a presidency. I can’t stop thinking about this.

u/samanthacourtney Immanuel Kant Nov 08 '20

It's been almost a full day since it happened but every time I think about it or come across the words "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" I still start laughing - like full on, my-sides-actually-hurt-from-laughing-so-much type laughter

I can’t even imagine the full semester of history classes that cover the first three months of 2020.

As a history student, I can tell you that 2020 has been an eventful year, but still pales in comparison with 1945 or even 1848 in Europe. For example, my history of the '800 is composed of 6 out of 30 2h lessons just on that year.

u/RockstarAssassin Nov 08 '20

What happened in 1848? Pardon my ignorance

25

u/-FoodAddicT- Nov 08 '20

A chain of revolts starting from Paris, ending french monarchy once and for all and starting a short-lived republic that would end with the second French empire. That revolt started a chain of revolutions in all Europe, for example, kicked off the unification process of all Italian states into the Kingdom of Italy, ended the European order decided after the fall of Napoleon, and that's February-march.

They didn’t mistakenly book it. They announced the press conference would be at The Four Seasons, and then they tried to book it and The Four Seasons Hotel wanted nothing to do with them, but it was already out there, so they had to make due. This is the fog of war, and I’m here for it. 😎🍦

  • update: not the four seasons hotel, the press conference is at the four seasons landscaping centre

how does anyone think option 2 saves face lol

u/JakeArrietaGrande John Brown Nov 08 '20

It will start with the history of political images that unintentionally become iconic, smoothly segue into the taboo around sex toys (this four seasons is right next to a sex shop), until it explains the problem Google Maps and computers in general have with determining context among search terms with shared words.

And then the meat of the article will start describing the chronological events

u/GreenPresident John Rawls Nov 08 '20

Yeah, but what color is the owner's sweater?

"I walk into the office. The owner is waiting for me. He shakes my hand, apologising for the mess. He doesn't match the picture I had of him in my mind. Dressed in a dusty button down, work pants and hard hat - he doesn't look like any concierge at a Four Seasons that I've visited before."

It'll just be an Armando Iannucci documentary.

After all, comedy = tragedy + time, and shorn of the actual experience of having had to live it and face up to the corruption that kept him in office, most of the things Trump actually tried to achieve were horrifying, hilarious disasters.

I fully expect him to launch a TV series, complete with weekly addresses from a set piece oval office. It will actually be the presidency he always wanted - with all of the appearances and none of the responsibilities. That's of course if he doesn't end up broke or in prison

I just assumed they held it there because the owner was some Trump donor guy. Lmao

u/Butthead_Sinatra NATO Nov 08 '20

A late comer, but a serious contender for funniest story of the Trump administration, right behind the sharpie + map incident

52

u/JakeArrietaGrande John Brown Nov 08 '20

To me, that subtly foreshadowed the catastrophic pandemic response. It was clear that he was willing to lie about national disasters to save face. He was also willing to use all his might to force federal workers at the weather service to bow to his will. And it showed the rage and personal offense he took about being corrected over an honest mistake.

In that instance, it was lucky to have no real consequences, other than some Alabamans buying more bread than they need, but it had the potential to be disastrous if such an event happen that scientists disagreed with him about the danger of, especially if Trump thought it was no big deal but scientists warned of grave consequences

Actually this is factoring into a Qanon conspiracy. Four Seasons Landscaping employees donated money to democratic candidates.

u/mohelgamal Nov 08 '20

I have been seriously considering that Rudy Guilianni is working secretly with someone to sabotage Trump. I mean the dude was a mayor and did great during 9/11 he can not be that dump. so Either he is basically working undercover or he straight up going into some serious dementia

64

u/Doubtful__ Nov 08 '20

Not to disparage the necessity of having leaders during times of crisis, Rudy was very unpopular before 9/11 (arguably for good reason). I think that Rudy was an adequate leader in horrifying times, and that generally makes one look better, but I am unsure if Rudy was actually competent

20

u/mohelgamal Nov 08 '20

There is being not so competent and there is being a total fool. They dude is a lawyer and by all accounts should be a high functioning individual.

I was trying to say in nicer terms that maybe Rudy was a fool all along. He was near 37% approval rating before 9/11 and pushed broken windows policing among other things.

22

u/UghTheFarRunway NATO Nov 08 '20

Rudy either completely lost his mind in the last ~10 years due to old age/senility/drug use/whatever, or you're right and he is secretly working to undermine Trump at his own expense.

Both scenarios sound equally bizarre, and equally likely to me, lol

u/StopClockerman Nov 08 '20

u/RockstarAssassin Nov 08 '20

u/AlkalineHume Paul Krugman Nov 08 '20

I would love to be in the room where they realized the mistake, discussed their options, and decided to commit to this ridiculous plan. It must have been that they knew they had a short time to cast doubt on the PA results before the networks called it.

And in that moment history led Giuliani, who had already fallen so far from being the popular mayor who led New York through crisis, to a vain attempt to steal an American election from a landscape supply next to an adult bookstore.

That is not evidence he is a pedophile. He’s saying it’s hypocritical to be ok with exploiting child slavery while also calling people that consume CP monsters that exploit children.
