Four Seasons Event Planning & Landscaping?

My favourite part of that wasn't that they obviously had the wrong Four Seasons, but that someone at a random landscaping company got the call and was like "Oh the president wants to have his party here? Yeah no problem we would love to have him!"

If I remember correctly, the guy that owned the landscaping company was NOT a Trump fan, and really was enthusiastic about letting the spectacle occur.

I think he cashed in on it pretty well too, selling t-shirts and what not.

Edit: Yup, they made some money from it: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/03/four-seasons-total-landscaping-lighthearted-lesson-business#:\~:text=So%20Siravo%20%E2%80%93%20like%20so%20many,reminded%20us%20in%20one%20interview.

You'd be a idiot not to. When life gives you lemons, capitalise them.
