> [@Fiendish\_Astronaut](#): > > Rudi Giuliani and the Trump legal team held a press conference at a Philadelphia landscaping company (!) just now - none of the major networks (including Fox) have covered it but the Trump team has put out a press release basically doubling down. Yeah, I went to check Trump’s tweets a few minutes ago, and saw he had announced a while back, “Big press conference today in Philadelphia at Four Seasons Total Landscaping — 11:30am.” Apparently he first just tweeted that it would be at the Four Seasons. Big difference. And soo weird. He also only later clarified that it would be just his lawyers talking. I checked, and some reporters did show up at this small landscaping firm in an industrial area on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Did some staffer get tasked with calling “the Four Seasons” to set up space for a press conference, and come back with, “yeah, the guy on the phone was really nice, he said we can come by any time. . .”? ---
