“ ‘Donald Trump starts out playing around with Stormy Daniels, and next thing you know, one of his final hurrahs is going to be down the street from an adult bookstore that’s been there for 40 years. You can’t write this stuff.’ ”

That’s Bernie D’Angelo, owner of an adult bookstore and sex shop called Fantasy Island, dishing on the Trump campaign’s much-lampooned visit to Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

“I couldn’t understand why they would bring something of this caliber to our location, because there’s no real venue that would support something of this sort,” he explained in an interview with Slate. “I was pretty much in awe of the funniness of the whole situation.”

D’Angelo’s location is on the outskirts of Philadelphia, down the road a bit from the landscaping company that provided the backdrop to the Trump campaign’s press conference.

There’s also a crematorium nearby.

At the event, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani announced that the president would “not concede” the U.S. presidential election and that lawsuits contesting the result were forthcoming. “This will be a very, very strong case,” he said, adding that the “networks don’t get to decide elections.”

D’Angelo shared his immediate reaction to the unfolding scene outside.

“We knew there had to be a screw-up somehow, because why would you pick a spot like this? And then when we heard it was the Four Seasons, I laughed. I knew exactly what it was then,” he said. “They wanted the Four Seasons [hotel] in Philadelphia, inside town, not on the outskirts of the Northeast Philadelphia area.” The New York Times reported that the campaign actually did intend to hold the event at the landscaping company but that Trump misunderstood and tweeted about the hotel.

Why Giuliani ultimately ended up in that industrial corner of Philadelphia doesn’t much matter to D’Angelo, whose family has run the business going all the way back to 1978. He’s just enjoying what it’s meant to his bottom line. As you can see, he was quick to capitalize:

“Oh yeah, it’s helped me out,” D’Angelo told Slate. “My Fantasy Island Facebook FB page has been blown up. … We could never afford advertising like this. This is worldwide. I don’t know if I’ll ever trend like this ever again.”

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said Friday that the fight against inflation will lead to a period of sluggish growth and cause pain to households and businesses.
