This story is just so much fun…the standup comics and twitter-verse are have a grand time.
It has everything…Trump, a serious press conference, a porn shop, a crematorium…no fiction writer would dare to write a story like this.
.But I’m wondering about some more mundane stuff.: has the owner of the business made any public statements about how it all came about?
After all, it ain’t every day that a small business gets a phone call from the President
Who made the call from the White House, and how did they introduce themselves?
Who answered the call at the landscaper’s office, and how did they react?
(If it happened to me, I would assume it’s a prank call, and hang up.)
There must have been some special arrangements with the Secret Service. How does an average citizen deal with this? Did men in black suddenly show up asking questions about securing the site: who is on staff this specific shift, who has the keys to the gate, etc?
and oh yeah…did the owner (or anybody else) think to mention that there’s a porn shop nearby?
Since neither candidate was there, Secret Service involvement would be minimal at best or not at all.(Witness the incident with the Biden campaign bus and the Trump Mobile Militia) There have been several stories of how this happened, who knew what or who didn’t know what they were doing. I don’t think there’s been a final version.
It was a press conference by the Trump campaign, and I doubt that campaign officials get SS protection. I don’t think Giuliani gets it either as a personal attorney, rather than being a family member or federal official. The campaign itself may have private security that secured the site.
Corey Lewandoski and Pam Bondi hosted a press conference two days prior, which was drowned out by Democrats blaring Beyonce Knowles tunes. So apparently they picked a quieter (heh), relatively Republican spot in Philadelphia.
The timeline suggests the Trump campaign actually intended to pick that business, due to its location, and didn’t think about the potential confusion with a much likelier spot. So I guess I can’t congratulate the owner of Four Seasons Total Landscaping for deliberately humiliating Giuliani, but the stupidity is still pretty intense.
