World's Saddest Presser Viewed as "Instant Classic" at RedState

Trump Campaign Ends With Saddest Press Conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping

Rudy Giuliani shouting outside an adult store is exactly how we saw this ending.

For over a year now, Donald Trump has bragged that he will refuse to accept the results of the 2020 election if he loses. He has threatened lawsuits, lied about voter fraud, and discouraged voting by mail. Now that he’s officially lost, he’s sent his sycophants to filed multiple lawsuits demanding recounts in several states, all of which have been rejected.

Now, Rudy Giuliani and his legal henchman have given a press conference at the Four Seasons … Total Landscaping company. In a hilarious mistake, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that the press conference would be held at the luxury hotel in Philadelphia, when in fact it was held at a small landscaping company next door to . . . [wait for it] . . . an adult bookstore and a crematorium. It’s a gaffe so absurd that it honestly sounds like a joke.

Watch the video, if you like things that are fun and good. The details of this thing are too delicious, too layered and ridiculous, to explore entirely in one post. (At one point during the presser, Giuliani is INFORMED that the Election has been called.)

There is so much to unpack with this portion of our recent drama, not the least of which was that instead of happening at the Four Seasons Hotel, as *resident Trump had tweeted it would, the presser occurred at Four Seasons Total Landscape in some dusky, industrial sector of Philly, which neighbors once again . . . an adult book store and a crematorium.

Personally my favorite part is when Giuliani says: "The networks don't decide elections. Courts do." The American people are not mentioned.

Curious about the state of right wing mindframes, I sullied myself with a mainstream conservative website - Redstate. (Won't Link - they're just awful). There is an article there suggesting that this moment was an "Instant Classic," and it’s quite popular. As in, a lot of people at RedState think this looked GOOD, on Rudy Giuliani, and that "the fight for Election 2020" goes on . . . which, no it does not! That was their very popular take: "Giuliani was on fire during this press conference." Just another reminder that we live in different realities. They have not accepted reality, at least not yet.
