Trump Announced an Election Conspiracy News Conference at the RNC and the Jokes Came Rolling In

Nearly two weeks ago, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer—Rudy Giuliani—held a press conference where he continued to repeat Trump's lies that widespread voter fraud tipped the 2020 election to President-elect Joe Biden.

But Giuliani's false claims were overshadowed by a major gaffe regarding the presser's venue.


Ahead of the press conference, Trump tweeted that it would be held at Four Seasons Philadelphia, the luxury hotel. Trump soon deleted the tweet, replacing it with the announcement that Giuliani would be speaking instead at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping Company.

It was soon clear that the Trump campaign mistakenly booked the landscaping company under the impression that it was the Four Seasons hotel.

While Four Seasons Total Landscaping received widespread publicity and even began selling merchandise alluding to the gaffe, the Trump campaign still hasn't been able to live down the mockery.

On Thursday, the President announced that he would be holding an "Important News Conference" at the RNC at noon.

Even two weeks later, jokes alluding to the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco came pouring in.






While Trump promised the presser would lay out a "very clear and viable path to victory," others noted a separate event happening around the same time.

The state of Georgia went blue this election for the first time since 1992, much to Trump's chagrin. The margin was close enough to prompt the state to issue a recount, which Trump falsely claims doesn't include signature verification and is thereby meaningless.

Officials in the state are expected to confirm Biden's win, leading some to think the presser is a means to distract from that announcement.



In addition to losing the Electoral College, Trump is also on track to lose the popular vote by nearly six million votes.

MAGA Christians Rage After Being Asked Why They're Against Free School Lunches

With Christianity so closely tied to Republican President Donald Trump, the GOP, and Trump's MAGA movement, a person might assume a government controlled by MAGA Republicans would try to enact legislation based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Things like feeding the hungry, housing the unhoused, caring for the sick and the poor, welcoming the immigrant, and loving their neighbors. But MAGA is a manifestation of White supremacy and Christian nationalism, so MAGA Republicans at all levels of government have embraced the greed of the Evangelical Christian "prosperity gospel" that glorifies the rich and vilifies the poor.

JD Vance Gets Blunt Reality Check From CBS Town Hall Host After Trying To Blame Biden For High Gas Prices

Vice President JD Vance was given a pointed reminder during a Michigan town hall event moderated by CBS News' Tony Dokoupil when he blamed former President Joe Biden while offering an explanation for high gas prices.

Americans continue to struggle with a nationwide affordability crisis hurting their wallets as well as at the pump.
