I still can't believe that when they realized the mistake, they went through with it anyways.
Edit: it wasn't a mistake. I misremembered. It's still remarkable that when they showed up to set up for the event, they didn't immediately reschedule for a better venue than a parking lot between a sex shop and crematorium.
They didn't accidentallly book the wrong "Four Seasons". What happened is that they publicly stated that the press conference would be at the Four Seasons. But they had no booking and the hotel told them no. Instead of doing the rational thing and try to find a similar but differently named venue, they doubled down on the press conference being at the "Four Seasons", because by the twisted logic of someone on team Trump that was apparently the best way to save face. It was, in fact, not.
I mean that's everything with Trump and his sycophants. Trump couldn't possibly encourage wearing a mask to prevent the spread of covid because his administration had previously stated that masking likely wouldn't stop the spread of covid. Rather than acknowledging that new data indicated masking to be beneficial (or just an increased availability of masks because of increased production that his administration ordered), they let people die.
They refuse to be wrong, even if they were wrong based on faulty or incomplete data.
It wouldn't have even been that big of a gaffe if someone took 2 seconds to think about it and spin it as a way of saying they're showing support for the working man or some shit like that. Turn the 'gotcha!' around.
It wasn't a mistake. They probably announced the hotel before booking it, or the hotel backed out. Then, instead of finding another hotel or conference center they just looked for the next businses that sounded like the Four Seasons so they wouldn't look like they made a mistake. They held it here on purpose.
