Donald Trump is undoubtedly at his worst. After 4 years of mandate and almost absolute power over the most powerful nation in the world, he begins to witness how his days in the White House are numbered after the election of his rival, the Democratic candidate Joe Biden this Saturday.
For this reason, when the team of lawyers for the still president called the press to announce their strategy to challenge the results, the outlook could not be more graphically “bleak.”
After Trump himself used his Twitter account to call journalists, briefly announcing: “Lawyers Press Conference at the Four Seasons, Philadelphia, 11:00 AM“, The media went to the establishment of the well-known hotel chain, in the most populous city of Pennsylvania… only to find that no one was waiting for them there.
Some phone calls later and a new tweet from Trump through, the matter cleared up and turned sour. It is unknown whether due to discoordination or another reason, the conference had to be improvisedly set up in the parking lot of a small flower shop in an industrial neighborhood called Total Four Seasons landscaping.
There, Trump’s attorneys led by the former mayor of New York, Rudy giuliani, couldn’t offer a more pitiful sight, with a podium set up in a dingy enclosed space, located next to an erotic movie and book store, and in front of a crematorium no less.
The scene, which could well have been a sketch of Saturday night live, did not go unnoticed by journalists and users of social networks, who converted “Four Seasons” in trending topic and Twitter.
The matter got to such a point that the real hotel chain had to come out to deny that they had any connection with the press conference of the president’s campaign team.
To clarify, President Trump’s press conference will NOT be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia.
It will take place at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, with no connection to the hotel.– Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center (@FSPhiladelphia) November 7, 2020
But if the image was bad, the conference itself did not go better
“Do not be ridiculous, the media do not decide the elections”, was Giuliani’s first response to the press that packed the parking lot after indicating that so far, Trump and his team have not presented evidence of the alleged electoral fraud of which they were victims.
Given this, the lawyer said he was in the company of several Republican observers who would not have been allowed access to the vote count, something that The Independent journalist Richard Hall denied at the time through his social networks . “This is false. The disagreement in this matter was due to the distance at which the observers of the count could be placed “, he claimed.
Fact Check: The disagreement in Philadelphia was due to the distance that poll watchers could stay away from the count. This is silly so far.

“I came all the way here to see if the president’s attorneys offered any evidence of the fraud they have been alleging. They have not done it. So I’m leaving ”, was his conclusion and that of many of his colleagues, who left Giuliani standing with no better arguments to offer.
