President Donald Trump announced on Saturday morning a “big press conference today in Philadelphia” to be held by his legal team later in the day, which is likely to be another sideshow in his quest to invalidate the votes that will cost him the crucial swing state. Pretty predictable (yet no less alarming) stuff at this point.
What people are having trouble wrapping their head around right now is the downright bizarre location Trump chose for the presser.
First, Trump tweeted that the press conference would be held at the Four Seasons, a swanky hotel in downtown Philly. But he quickly corrected the record:
“Big press conference today in Philadelphia at Four Seasons Total Landscaping — 11:30am!” the President tweeted.
So no, not the swanky Four Seasons hotel. “Four Seasons Total Landscaping,” which is a landscaping company’s small office building in a drab industrial area of town. The actual Four Seasons hotel wants to make sure you know that.
“To clarify, President Trump’s press conference will NOT be held at Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia,” the hotel tweeted. “It will be held at Four Seasons Total Landscaping— no relation with the hotel.”
Uh, what?
Turp's legal team is holding a press conference from a small landscaping company in the suburbs of Philadelphia, what the fuck is going on lol https://t.co/55VXd1qqU5 pic.twitter.com/q5LylR0GIZ

Just arrived at the location for the big news conference announced by President Trump.
Slightly surreal location… not the Four Seasons Hotel but a landscaping business in an industrial estate on edge of Philadelphia… more @SkyNews https://t.co/sUtAAN6n0D pic.twitter.com/u13mBFHFaS— Mark Stone (@Stone_SkyNews) November 7, 2020
"Set up a press conference at the Four Seasons."
"The luxury hotel or the landscaping store?"
"Eh, either one." https://t.co/Tx2nHSBGYs

the switcheroo from the four seasons hotel to “four seasons total landscaping” feels like an metaphor for the president’s standing in the Pa tally as the week has progressed https://t.co/lkCTtWguge

What? How did you score that venue? When I played Carnegie Hall, I’m not gonna lie. The whole time I was on stage I was thinking, this is great but goddamnit I wish I was playing the Philadelphia Four Seasons TOTAL LANDSCAPING. ? https://t.co/Sw6KOsODcc
