The Philadelphia garden center where Trump’s legal team held a press conference on Saturday is now selling merchandise to cash in on its newfound fame.
Trump’s legal team appeared to have made a mistake in booking Four Seasons Total Landscaping for its Saturday morning press conference, likely mixing it up with the Four Seasons luxury hotel in Philadelphia.
The garden center quickly took advantage of the apparent mix-up. A day after the press conference, the company released a statement, saying that it would be selling merchandise soon.
The items currently for sale on the company’s website include stickers that play on Trump’s campaign slogans and patriotic hoodies and t-shirts with the company’s name and American flag on them.
The hoodies are selling for $50, while the t-shirts have been priced at $25.
A $5 sticker includes the company’s name with the taglines “Make America Rake Again” and “Lawn and Order!” — a reference to Trump’s campaign phrases “Make America Great Again” and “Law and Order.”
On Sunday, the company released a statement saying it was “honored” to host the Trump press conference.
It said it had been the target of “negative comments” since hosting the briefing, but said it would have offered up its business to either candidate.
“We strongly believe in America and in democracy,” the statement read. “We hope that our fellow Americans can join together and support all local small businesses during this time.”
It was in the middle of this press conference that the major US networks called the race for Joe Biden, and Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had to react to the news in the moment. You can watch the reaction here.
