If we could set up a Truman Show scenario where Trump thinks he’s President again and the public send in scenarios for him to deal with, what would you suggest?

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.

It concerns me that I had no issue conjuring that image in my head.

I think this means you’re based in collective reality.

Unfortunately, that means you are in contact with reality.

The line from Watchmen comes to mind: "Now if you begin to feel an intense and crushing feeling of religious terror at the concept, don't be alarmed. That indicates only that you are still sane."

I feel like that's where he belongs honestly. Hopefully somewhere rather toasty so he's constantly leaking.

Goddamn it.

Another image.

Rudy leaking.

That's still coming after he loses all the various lawsuits, all his money, and the rest of his mind.

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.

Link?

I would still wonder if there wasn't any misdirection going on. Like, perhaps a staff member was trying to do the owner of the place a favor (for whatever reason), and just kept mentioning 'Four Seasons' without adding the landscaping part until the last moment. And once Trump's first tweet was out there was no going back.

The first one was actually just hired to do landscaping, it wasn’t a location for a presser https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/02/trump-campaign-four-seasons-landscaping-fixation-502163

That location was in California I think. Has to be related to that though.

Edit: /u/crowbarmagic here is the link

u/ThrowawayBlast 28d ago

Yeah but then the media and the general public would have searched the heck out of the owner of that lawn and oops, all their dirty laundry hiding in the corners of the internet is now on CNN.

"Guiliani's press conference friend donated ten grand to local KKK chapter in 1977!"

u/Segesaurous 28d ago

I watched the presser but I can't remember, did they even try to spin it on the spot? Like did anyone come up with an intro like, "Thanks to the good people of Four Seasons Total Landscaping for having us here today. We chose this place because these are the the types of working class heroes we are appealing to about this sham of an election!". Anything like that??
