From Escalator to Landscaping Parking Lot, Trump Presidency One Long Joke

How Four Seasons Total Landscaping perfectly encapsulated the Trump experience.

The president announced on Twitter that there would be a press conference at the Four Seasons in Philadelphia on Saturday. Trump then deleted that tweet and clarified that he didn’t mean the upscale hotel, but rather the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot. The lawn care store is “nestled nicely between an adult bookstore and a cremation center.”

Or, as one Twitter user noted, between a c*ck and a charred place.

Trump’s political career ends the same way it began, as a joke. From escalator to landscaping parking lot, Trump failed to act with any semblance of professionalism or dignity. Instead, his era must be labeled what it is — a farce.

The Trump presidency crashed and burned in a dilapidated parking lot next to Fantasy Island Adult Books & Novelties and the Delaware Valley Cremation Center.
