No one will soon forget the big, embarrassing blunder that was the bizarre Rudy Giuliani press conference last year, when Donald’s old personal attorney stood in the parking lot of a landscaping company and ranted and raged over the 2020 presidential election, all the while acting as though they chose a parking lot venue on purpose.
It was eventually determined that the Trump campaign had meant to secure the Four Seasons hotel, only to mix things up in a bad sort of way and land the ex-mayor turned corrupt lawyer in the parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Of course, this snafu raised a lot of questions and eyebrows at the time — mostly just wondering how in the hell something like this happened.
But according to a new report from POLITICO, that infamous press conference wasn’t the first mix-up of its kind. Evidently, a separate campaign expenditure indicates that the Trump campaign has a habit of mixing up companies that share a moniker with the luxury hotel chain.
It seems that in the past the Republican National Committee had hired a similarly named Four Seasons Landscape and Property Services for a separate Trump fundraising event in California. Just a month or so before the infamous Giuliani presser, Trump Victory, a joint RNC-Trump campaign fundraising committee, forked out a staggering $48,515.78 to the Santa Clarita-based landscaping company for a fundraising event that didn’t even feature the then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Blumel, under the constraints of a non-disclosure agreement, could not offer up any further detail surrounding the work his company did but did confirm that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner attended the event in Ivanka’s father’s place. He went on to note that he was just as mystified and confused by the November 7th Giuliani parking lot presser in the industrial district of Philadelphia.
“We happen to have the same name as the other one,” he noted. “But no, we are not affiliated.”
