Greatest Press Conference in the history of press conferences. Really won that day.
Of all the surreal and absurd things that have taken place with Trump and co. this is in the top ten for me. How anyone can continue to support this band of fools blows my mind.
Couldn’t organise a piss-up in a brewery!
Do you say that in Murca?
I loved how their merchandise blew up so much they had to make a command center to manage the online orders, still wear my shirt and very few people still recognize it.
Don’t forget the porn shop right across the street lol
When this scene comes on in the eventual movie documenting the trump years, people will think it’s unrealistic bad attempt at comedy. But it’s real. That shit really happened.
And we let trump run the country for 4 years like he’s people
A banner year for that dude. The hair dye dripping off his face. The scene in the new Borat movie. The fart in the courtroom. Ugly brown dress shoes and so on…
This was a true Spinal Tap moment. Absolutely beyond parody. Unfathomably absurd.
It has been two years and I still laugh out loud at this. The absurdity will never, ever get old.
The end of civilization is far more entertaining and less horrifying than I expected it to be. Sucks either way but at least we don’t have zombies and shit. *Yet*
Non American here,
Can anyone explain what happened in this conference?
You can get a thousand comedy writers working for a thousand years and they will never come up with anything as funny as this.
If I weren’t alive when that happened, I wouldn’t believe it was anything more than an absurd joke.
The fact that they made a mistake when booking it and still went with it is absolutely unreal
You didn’t have to wait for the anniversary to remind us, this meme checks in any season.

This is the moment irony died forever. It was like a badly written SNL sketch that should’ve gotten rejected
It was glorious
Not surprising, Trump literally drew on a hurricane map with a sharpie and tried to pressure meteorologists to lie about their weather reporting just because he misspoke about how far of an area it would effect.
The funny thing is this is a real company, and they do a ton of landscaping maintenance in downtown Philly, a lot around the skyscrapers and other buildings.
If you walk around Center City you’re bound to be reminded by this frequently because you see the vans and employees everywhere.
It’s a Philly meme that will never go away.
I love how there was no explanation for this at all. Ever from the campaign.
They did a press conference at a random spot and just moved on like nothing out of the ordinary.
That was a great November for everyone but Rudy.
Imagine being punked by Borat and that only managing to be like the fifth most embarrassing thing to happen to you in a month.
I bought a shirt from them (the poor landscaping company) to commemorate the moment and it still gets laughs to this day. To their credit the owners of the business really leaned into the silliness of it all and later released a series of shirts with their new logo:
“Make America Rake Again!”
Nothing but respect for those ladies.
I could write jokes for 800 years and I’d never think of something funnier than Trump booking the Four Seasons for his big presser, and it turning out to be the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot between a dildo store and a crematorium.
