In its sheer inanity, the Four Seasons event is reminiscent of a controversy from a much simpler era: When Barack Obama wore a tan suit to a press conference in August 2014, it was the object of criticism on Fox News and in mainstream media for days, and during the Trump years, it’s been mentioned ad nauseam to describe the low-stakes virulence of partisan rancor in the years before he went down the escalator. Fake Four Seasons merchandise sprouted up, including a shirt that featured Philadelphia Flyers mascot Gritty on the back of a tractor, with the tagline, “Not the Four Seasons hotel.” The people begged for a detailed piece of journalism that explained exactly how the mistake happened thus far, no truly satisfying answer has emerged. (When Giuliani heard that networks had begun calling the election in favor of Biden, he asked “Which ones?” A reporter replied, “All of them.”) From there we got an interview with the owner of the porno shop next door and a poem about the crematorium across the street. The business continued to attract a steady stream of tourists.On Saturday, as people in cities around the world celebrated the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, Twitter’s 21st most-popular trending topic was “Four Seasons Total Landscaping.” By Sunday, as the hangovers and the new reality set in, it had rocketed to number one-a big, beautiful moment in the spotlight for one of the Trump administration’s most schadenfreude-filled failures.ĭuring the press conference held at that Philadelphia landscaping company on Saturday, Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani learned, on camera, that media outlets had declared Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election. "It's so funny, and so just completely innocuous and random and silly, that it was kind of like a collective exhale," said Gordon, 60.īy Tuesday morning, much of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping seemed back to normal, except for a small memorial to Saturday's events outside the front door - a few candles and some flowers. The Biden supporter said she never wants to forget that surreal half-hour on Saturday when a week's worth of election anxiety finally started to dissipate. Wendy Gordon, a Philly expat now living in Washington, D.C., ordered a Four Seasons T-shirt on Monday. And for those who don't care for politics, it offers a picture of its parking lot as a Zoom background. Not only is it offering "Make America Rake Again" and "Lawn and Order" merchandise, but it has also "liked" and retweeted a number of left-leaning accounts. Whatever its original motivation, the company is capitalizing on its fame by pitching itself to consumers from across the political spectrum. Four Seasons Total Landscaping declined requests for comment. At the press event, Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani claimed without evidence that Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania was due to voter fraud.
