Merchandise landscaping business from Giuliani press conference a hit | Abroad

Four Seasons Total Landscaping, probably mistaken by Trump’s team for the luxurious The Four Seasons Hotel, sells t-shirts and stickers with slogans that poke fun at the president’s favorite slogans. For example, enthusiasts can order a piece of clothing with the lyrics “Make America Rake Again” and “Lawn and Order”. The t-shirts with those texts were virtually sold out on Tuesday, according to USA Today. According to the independent radio station NPR, the company also plans to start selling face masks.

Trump invited journalists via Twitter to a press conference at The Four Seasons in Philadelphia on Saturday. Moments later, Trump sent out another tweet saying the press conference would start half an hour later, at Four Seasons Total Landscaping. The press moment would be about the election fraud that the Democrats have committed according to Trump. A claim for which the president has no evidence.

The site turned out to be the parking lot of a landscaping company, on a business park in the northeast of the city, opposite a crematorium and next to a porn bookshop. During the press moment, which still went ahead, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was told by a journalist that news channel CNN and other American media had declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election.

The provisional and absurd-looking press moment quickly became the subject of ridicule on social media and by American comedians. Four Seasons Total Landscaping decided that all that publicity might be a goldmine and started selling all kinds of merchandise from Monday. The landscaping firm said on Facebook that it was “honored to be invited to host a press conference” and said it would be proud “to have every presidential candidate a guest at our firm.”
