User:Aluxosm/Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference Public reaction

Public reaction (Current formatting)
CNN reported that the event was "widely ridiculed". It drew humor and parody on social media, where it was assumed the Trump campaign had simply made a mistake with the booking, and it was compared to similar mishaps in the political satire series Veep and The Thick of It. "Four Seasons Total Landscaping" became the 21st most-popular trending topic on Twitter; the following day it was at number one. Yelp users posted reviews, activating an "Unusual Activity" alert, which temporarily disabled the posting of content to the page pending investigation to determine the legitimacy of the views. Visitors came to the building to take pictures of themselves with the company gates and logo in the background.

The area was recreated in VRChat by furry YouTuber Coopertom, while others created mock Lego sets.

Two Philadelphia runners announced the charity "Fraud Street Run" (a pun on the city's annual Broad Street Run) for November 29, covering the 11 mi from the landscaping business to the hotel. Later, the organizers decided to make it a virtual run, as they did not believe it was possible to maintain social distancing during the event. The 2,100 participants from around the world were to run anywhere they choose that day, including the planned course, and upload a picture of themselves running to social media. The event had proven more popular than they anticipated, over US$61,000 for the food bank Philabundance. The "Fraud Street Bike Ride" was organized by the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia to provide additional donations and included a bike-friendly route using bike lanes and multi-use paths along the Delaware River.

A Change.org petition that called for the location be added to the National Register of Historic Places was launched, and it was jokingly suggested that if Trump were to create a presidential library then it should be built at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Comedy writer Vinnie Favale set up a web portal devoted to the press conference.
