After the US president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, ended up speaking at Four Seasons Total Landscaping rather than the Four Seasons hotel chain for the Trump campaign's press conference, the Philadelphia landscaping company decided to launch a merchandise line to take advantage of the media attention it received as a result of the accidental booking.
Included in the line are an array of simple tees and hoodies that showcase the company's branding, along with a selection of others that include its name along with the American flag. While the apparel doesn't directly reference the press conference, the company also released a range of stickers that do. The black and white sticker designs feature slogans that nod to the candidate's controversial campaign slogan, with the words "Make American Rake Again" included on them.
