Absolutely my favorite thing that came out of that shit show. I really wish the person that set that up, or at least a first-hand witness, would do a tell-all interview. Was the actual Four Seasons booked and some underpaid, overworked intern said fuck it, good enough? Did Google somehow produce a landscaping company as the top result? What was Rudy’s reaction?
I would love to see a fly-on-the-wall style comedy drama show on those final days, something like the Office. The moment where they get to the garden centre and realise it’s what they have to work with would be top notch farce
It’s worth the watch I didn’t watch it until peak trump and it was weird how parallel the stories lines were to life even though it was a couple of years earlier. Takes a season or two to get into though.
The jokes practically write themselves! I’d love Trump’s character to do the Sue Sylvester-style tantrum of breaking shit and shoving people into walls, complete with something like O Fortuna playing in the background.
They can honestly make a Crimson Tide style thriller as well. I guarantee there are dozens of instances some unnamed hero saved us from a world war repeatedly.
Here's a pretty good story that was done shortly after the incident. They didn't get the scoop from someone inside of the administration unfortunately. I'm still waiting for that follow up.
When I heard American Crime Story was doing Impeachment, I thought that was quick. Maybe COVID is delaying the first dramatization of the 2016-2020 (2021) shit show
I was living in Mexico nearly his whole presidency, and it's embarrassing when I'd go to the molino in the morning and the asshole Real Housewives of San Ildefonso are tearing me a new one about my presidents' antics.
I’m just curious as to how he was described in Spanish? My sympathies, though. A friend of mine had the same experience in the UK. He had to constantly tell people he didn’t vote for the guy.
It's one of those things that, 20 years from now when they make a movie about this (it certainly will not be the first, but I imagine many will be made for decades after) a lot of young people won't remember/won't have been alive during Trump's presidency.
They'll see what he's saying and then say, "This is totally unrealistic. It's impossible a President would ever say this. This writing sucks." Then someone will point out to them that this is actual, real life footage of a Trump speech that they put in for context.
I don't know why thinking about that scenario amuses me so much.
I have a lot of this fantasy casted in my head already. Jared Kushner played by Michael Cera. DJTJ played by Adam Scott. Zach Cregger as Eric Trump. Amanda Seyfried as Ivanka. Anthony Scarramucci as himself. Bob Odenkirk as Jeff Sessions. Christian Bale as Rudy. Pick somebody random from a movie produced by Steve Mnuchin to play him. Jordan Peele as Ben Carson. Keegan Key on to play Cory Booker in a couple random episodes. Imelda Staunton(played umbridge) as Betsy Devos. Steve Carell as Mike Pence(mostly so we can have him shouting "Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!" once per season for the first 3 seasons, then just assuming he's going to become president at some point and being repeatedly disappointed).
Yeah, I read a few stories where it’s spun as being intentional. But that’s really all they could find for a venue? There must be a few wealthy Trump supporters/donors in that area with a nice lawn that would have served better.
Literally anywhere else would have been better for them. Not for us, Four Seasons Total Landscaping was the best choice for the comedy loving public, but Giuliani could have stood on a soap box screaming at passing traffic on 95 and it would have better for them.
Recently, there was a report that this was the SECOND 4 seasons landscaping that was booked for a presser. The first was cancelled when trump got Covid.
I believe it was intentional. They got a huge amount of press out of it, and Rudy comes off as the idiot, not trump. They knew what they were doing.
I’m so butthurt I read that wholeeee long article and at the end the writer goes “yeah it was the height of idiocy and that’s probably all there ever was to it” (paraphrased) and that’s the only real answer given lol
The one guy who spoke at the four seasons was there at the convention center watching the nail in vote counting, so was I, it was wild to listen to all the lies about what was happening there after seeing first hand what was really happening. He and I were on the same shift so I know the lies he told and it was illuminating!
‘The Siravos were nothing if not good marketers, and by December, they’d sold more than $1 million of the merchandise they’d drawn up to capitalize on all the attention, like stickers that read “Make America Rake Again!” and “Lawn and Order!”’
I don't think you do understand. Because you are grinning. Why are you grinning? You are grinning. You have made a fuckup the size of France and you are fucking grinning about it.
This is also the first thing I thought of. The panicked quick pan of the camera to show the landscaping company signage while Rudy and staffers put their hands on their face and mutter. Comedic gold here waiting to be put together.
I could see April drolly trolling Leslie that she booked the landscaping company — “whatever, it said 4 seasons” — but actually booked the best ballroom at the hotel.
Or the landscaping company somehow being booked by accident, but Tom Haverford gets ahead of it and somehow makes it look fantastic and spins it into a win.
Ron would be bitching the whole time about having to dress up and waste the taxpayers money on a pointless ceremony because he thinks it's the 4 seasons hotel. He eventually finds out that it's the landscaping company the day before the event and gets super giddy because not only did they spend a fraction of the budget to book the landscaping company compared to the hotel, but there's also plenty of room for him to bring his grill and fire up some real food.
Believe it or not, it happened twice. A four seasons landscaping in California also hosted a Trump event. The only reason we don't hear about both is because Trump got Covid and couldn't attend the one in California. I think his son went instead.
Can we all take a second to remind ourselves that this clown owns businesses in the hospitality industry? He had access to some really great event planners.
Four Seasons fiasco was totally surreal. If some scriptwriter pitched that for a tv episode people would say it’s too ridiculous to be believable. Would really love to know who / how many fucked up there and just how bigly.
My favorite was when he walked on to air force one with toilet paper on his shoe. He kept turning and waiving which made him look even more ridiculous.
I read a theory a while ago that the real four seasons was very close to a school, and a speaker at that press conference or a staffer? Idk who someone important enough, was a registered sex offender and they had to move things last minute. To avoid discussion about the real reason they just came up with the four seasons total landscaping as a way to move the conference away from schools without people looking into it much. Most democrats just thought that the trump campaign was incompetent and moved on.
Can you imagine what it was like working there the day they got the call to set up the event and whoever answered the phone decided to just run with it? What a surreal time that must have been, accepting such a strange proposal then seeing it all unfold.
By then, there were all sorts of rumors on State Road about the Siravo family’s connections with the Trump campaign and the Philadelphia Republican Party. But it had been nearly a week since Rudy Giuliani’s press conference in the parking lot out back, and the only evidence anyone could turn up to support the theory that what had occurred here wasn’t just a freak public-relations accident or hilarious fuckup were a few pro-Trump Facebook posts from Mike’s mother, Marie Siravo, who owns the business.
So the Facebook page of the business might not be all that political, but based on her personal page she does or did at least kinda support Trump. It's just smart to keep personal politics and business separate. Especially if you are pro-Trump and doing business in a democratic stronghold.
Ah interesting. I only knew Philly was mainly dem in general.
But still a wise move to not involve your business in your personal political opinions. Besides, it seems like the a type of business people often go more out of there way to visit (unlike e.g. a grocery store), so chances are they also get customers from outside of that district. They didn't just sell some pots and plants -- It was a bigger operation than that. IIRC they also do some off-site work like manicuring golf courses. So yeah, they have a fairly wide range.
Oh my god sauce because I have to make sure that's true, if so that's absolutely hilarious
EDIT: Googled it and sadly it's not. The owner is a woman, but she's white and good chance she's straight since her adult son works there too. Read an interview and they're trying to stay politically neutral but they also debunked the "they did it specifically to troll the Trump campaign" rumor. They said they would have done the same if Biden's people called them up.
Make hay while the sun is shining. If all the sudden your formerly unknown light industrial plaza now is nationally famous, might as well get some cash out of it.
The person responsible for selling those T-shirts is immediately the smartest person associated with the Trump presidency in any way, shape, or fashion.
So the truth came out and Rudy in no way thought he booked the Four Seasons hotel. He thought it was an event planner (perfect contact given the situation) that he had previously hired to organize an event also called four seasons (completely seperate entity from the landscaper we all know). So Rudy called up a landscaping company thinking it was affiliated with a similarly named event planning company in a different state, and didn't realize he was not talking to someone he had hired before. I feel like the landscapers realized right away Rudy called the wrong people but decided to fleece some money from him anyways, you know being a good trump supporter and all. Fleecing Rudy is basically a part of the party platform now.
“I really mean it. It will be interesting. And I would think that’s their favorite food. So we’ll see what happens.”
I'd love to know why he thinks elite athletes' favourite food would be fast food burgers. I want to see the step-by-step process that gets him to that conclusion.
It’s not really that complicated. He thinks it’s their favorite food because it’s his favorite food. He only sees the world through his own perspective. He lacks empathy as a narcissist.
Related: Are there pictures of Trump ever eating anything healthy? Hell, the only time I ever saw him NEAR anything healthy was that fucked up Goya beans business and those cans were closed.
Never. It's a running joke that republican officials eat like shit and have zero taste. First one that comes to mind is the Michael Caputo lobster tweet. It's kind of amazing how disgusting they made lobster look hahaha
I'm not a lobster expert but I'd send that back. It looks rotten.
Edit: I'm reminded of the comic book Get Jiro. It's a weird future dystopian story but by god, they respect food. Even the fascists. One guy got -un- mugged because the crooks found he had a reservation for a nice restaurant.

To be fair Get Jiro was written by Anthony Bourdain.
Also canned beans are not, like, particularly healthy. More so than prepared foods and definitely fast food. But in terms of raw ingredients, canned will always have way more sodium and other added crap and be less nutrient dense. Canned is basically decently healthy when convenience is the main factor (budget, shelf life, etc).
Theres very little trump could do that would surprise me anymore, but seeing proof of him consuming a fresh vegetable is one of the least likely things I can imagine.
The extra salt is just for preservation - rinsing the beans gets rid of a lot of the added sodium. Also, even though they're technically less nutrient-dense than fresh or frozen cooked beans, they still have almost the same level of nutrients and more than enough for adequate nutrition.
I want to see the step-by-step process that gets him to that conclusion.
"I like McD, I'm the Leader of American, Athletes are the 2nd best Americans (behind me), If I, the number 1 American like McD, then the number 2 must too."
That's because nothing sums up the Trump ideology more than a big Mac presented on fine China, particularly if you defrauded the person who sold you the China.
They were laid off that week because of yet another government shutdown (with a GOP controlled house, senate, and presidency) and you know he wasn't going to pay for a nice event out of his own pocket. I'd love to know how many people tried to talk him out of this absolutely trashy idea.
Whenever I'm speaking with people who egregiously ask "WhAt DiD TruMp eVeN doOo thAt Was thAT bAD?" rather than go for the obvious ones they'll have stupid rebuttals for (covid mismanagement or factual reasons he was impeached), I like to point out that our government was shut down for 35 days - the longest stretch ever - while republicans had complete majority.
Amusingly, he boasted about paying for the whole thing out of pocket. I think it was around $10k? As a (supposed) billionaire, $10k is literally like pocket change.
Not that I would accept an invitation to Trump's White House, but... I just can't imagine how disappointed I would be to get such an invitation and have a chance to enjoy a meal prepared by world class chefs in the most powerful place on earth, only to be served fucking McDonald's that I could get any other day of the fucking week. Guy is a fucking no-class clown
Yea I probably wouldn't even end up eating any of it. They had to bring the food to the White House, then the staff puts it on trays, then the President has to get his photo op, then the players come in and likely some introductions are made first, and only THEN you can finally eat.
Those french fries are sitting in open cups... They are cold AF by the time you get to them.
Though to be honest, I much prefer living in a world where I don't need to read about what dumb, moderately fascistic shit the American president has done this week.
It also convinced me to NEVER eat at a Trump hotel. He literally had one a few blocks away that probably could have catered the event, but chose not to use them, tells me all I need to know about the quality of the food.
I think that has more to do with him being a cheapskate and loving fast food.
Also: Not sure about the one in Washington but not every Trump hotel is Trump's. He basically let some places use his name and brand, like a franchise, but that doesn't make it his.
The worst part is, that all that food would be cold by the time it was all set up and the players came in.
The only thing worse than McDonalds food, is cold McDonalds food. It’s amazing that Trump believes that these star athletes eat this shit regularly. Hes seen one too many 80s college comedy movies.
The sharpie Hurricane might be my all time favorite Trump moment. When I saw him hold up that map with the cone extended & obviously drawn in sharpie to include Alabama, I was honestly on the floor in tears I was laughing so hard. Imagine being the President of the fucking United States & doctoring a weather map w/ a goddamn sharpie bc you’re incapable of admitting you made a mistake when you included Alabama in your tweet. Did he think people wouldn’t notice? I can’t even
Well you need to present him with scenarios. You have to see how he connects Fire burns down Talledaga after Antifa sabotages Jeff Gordons big comeback to NASCAR, to how his shits are too big and nasty to be taken away by a modern toilet.
Just indulge every fantasy. He says maybe we should buy Greenland? Tell him we did. And then tell him there are 20-story tall trolls living there a d he has to decide if we enslave them or not. He thinks he beat covid by being really strong and never exercising? Sure, buddy. That’s what happened. See if he tries to make exercise illegal.
But he only did literally anything if it was brought to him, simplified and with pictures.
And his initial reaction was to:
A) Rubberstamp the judge nomination
B) Rubberstamp tax exemptions for donors
C) Claim everything is fiiiine, and if it isn't then he already has the best plan to fix it, believe it. Seriously, please just believe it, don't expect to see a document or nothing.
So given free reign it'd be him smelling sharpies, binging daytime tv and playing golf. Desparate Housebands of DC, this fall on OANN!
I hope I live long enough to read a large book detailing the entire truth of his presidency.I doubt it. The public stuff has been both bad and hilarious enough.
I'm pretty sure he literally killed the show Veep because his reality was more bizarre and funny than anything their writers could come up with. I mean the "four seasons total landscaping" episode is definitely stranger than fiction.
The out side will say for President Donald Trump’s Eyes only and then write “act like this says something very important that only you can see.”
It’d be like one of those bday cards “Don’t let anyone read this and act like it’s really sweet. Look at me and out your hand over your heart, and there is money in it if you can cry.”
Tell him he's going to be on the TrumanTrumpman Show. Tell him he'll always be surrounded by hidden cameras and everything that happens to him are scripted scenarios to see what his reaction will be.
Then just leave him the fuck alone. No cameras, no actors. Just send him fake ratings summaries occasionally that say his numbers are dropping. Watch the news stories as he becomes increasingly more erratic thinking that he's fading out of the public eye.
At this point, I'd throw a few bucks at this idea just so I could see him less.
Rewatching SNL, who dutifully kept up with a lot, made me realize how much bullshit I forgot because it just...was so much.
Firing a dude two days before he retired and would have gotten pension? Yikes.
I would really like to hear the scoop on all the schools that Cohen threatened so they wouldn't release Trump's true SAT scores. Did a receptionist pick it up and let him go at it? Did someone say "SAT scores??? I'm getting threatened over a bullshit test???"
So true. Remember when he stared directly at the eclipse? Or when he edited that hurricane map with a fucking sharpie, and subsequently denied doing so?
Ugh. But I am sooooo over it all. I’d seriously never watch a single minute… unless we could create the weirdest, most embarrassing pranks that he still thinks is real.

Just let him roll. You can't write stuff like he pulls off
