I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL

So, I read a few Internet Detective accounts, and based on the timings and reasons given to Four Seasons Total Landscaping when they rang (it’s location, for instance - they knew where they were calling), it seems HIGHLY likely that Trump declared there would be a conference at the Four Seasons, staffers scrambled to book it, Four Seasons said FUCK no, and staffers then scrambled around to find ANYWHERE in the vicinity that had the same name so that Trump didn’t have to admit to being wrong on his Twitter feed.

This is, in fact, MUCH FUNNIER than the idea that staffers made a mistake (come on, Four Seasons Hotel would have come up first on any search engine), and reflects the fuckin’ Dictator Playbook of being unable to admit to being wrong, and staff being afraid to do anything to make the dictator feel wrong.

Trump making a claim without any foundation (i.e. “this conference will be at the Four Seasons” when nothing has been booked) and then refusing to acknowledge the possibility of error makes a lot more sense to me than some staff member booking the wrong venue by mistake. And makes it a lot funnier. :)

Holy shit my unsubstantiated guess was right.

its just a microcosm of the last 4 years
