At the time when Biden was called out by American media as president of the United States, Trump’s lawyer spoke to journalists. That press conference about the unproven ‘fraud’ during the presidential elections was the largest announced in advance. Including by US President Donald Trump, who tweeted that his team at the ‘Four Seasons’ in Philadelphia would give a ‘big press conference’.
‘Four Seasons’
The president’s tweet was replaced a little later by the message that his team would be giving the press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, a garden center on the outskirts of the city.

On Saturday morning at 11:30 am (local time), Giuliani there claimed election fraud, an allegation that is unproven. According to USA Today, the garden center is located in an industrial estate on the outskirts of the city. There is a sex shop on one side and a crematorium on the other.
Misunderstanding?
The chic Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia said it had nothing to do with the press conference – or the garden center. “To clarify, the Donald Trump press conference will NOT take place at our hotel, but will be held at a garden center that is not part of our company,” the hotel wrote in a tweet. Was there a misunderstanding here?

Trump’s campaign team has not issued an official response. So it is not clear whether they accidentally switched the hotel with the garden center, which has much the same name. According to The Guardian it seems to be a misunderstanding ..
Author Geraldine DeRuiter responded with: “The real hero is the employee of the garden center who answered the phone and did not resolve the misunderstanding in time. I greet you, fellow countryman.”
Viral
In any case, Giuliani’s press conference immediately went viral on the internet. “I could write jokes for 800 years, but I don’t think I could ever come up with anything as funny as this,” comedian Zack Bornstein wrote in a tweet.

Actual hero
Author Geraldine DeRuiter responded with: “The real hero is the employee of the garden center who answered the phone and did not resolve the misunderstanding in time. I greet you, fellow countryman.”

Other twitterers would like to watch “11-episode documentaries to find out how this misunderstanding originated.” Or they ‘are still laughing at Giuliani talking nonsense between a crematorium and a dildo shop’.
There is also a joke about the fact that such a small company became the scene of a gigantic press moment. “” Our moment will come “- plumbers & heating systems,” someone else jokes:

Giuliani will also remember the press conference, because as soon as journalists could ask questions, it was announced that Biden will be the 46th president of the United States. A reporter told Giuliani, after which there was a brief silence. Then he said, “Don’t be so ridiculous.”
T-shirts for sale
The garden center has now responded. “We are proud to host a press conference for a presidential candidate. We believe in America and in democracy.”
As of today, clothing and other merchandise will be available on the company’s website, the company writes. “For anyone who wants to buy a T-shirt.”
