Michael and former sales director Sean Middleton saw an opportunity in the madness. Michael immediately went to buy more cameras for their home and Marie checked in with the local police precinct to let them know what was happening.īut then things started to shift, partly because of how the team reacted to the attention. Other people were leaving flowers outside like it was a funeral for Trump’s death.” You don’t know what somebody’s going to do. Marie adds: “All of a sudden people are sending me emails: ‘F U, F Trump.’ I mean, I didn’t even know you could make writing that big.” “People were threatening us and calling us out.” “The first 24 hours was scary,” says Michael. It was a political event, after all, and the politics found them. The story gave birth to a thousand memes and jokes that persisted for days.īut not everyone was happy with them. On the day of a historic election, with a record turnout that made Trump a one-term president, all anyone could seem to talk about was Four Seasons Total Landscaping. They were immediately forced into the national spotlight. “I just blacked out because he started kind of rambling on and I was just like, oh man, I see the crowd brewing out front. The Sivaros haven’t had much time to dwell on the ins and outs, because from the moment Giuliani started speaking their lives were turned upside down. “If you look outside, you can’t see up into here. “We think they got the idea after they did an overhead view,” she says.

The Sivaro family, who woke up one day to find themselves in the eye of a media storm, watched the joke spiral, but they have maintained that the campaign chose their company because of its location. It was that confusion and uncertainty that propelled the day’s events from an awkward sideshow into a comical, circus-like ending to the Trump presidency – from the Big Lie to the Big Joke. It has been a year since that day, and a mystery that has endured ever since was whether the Trump team actually meant to hold their press conference at this family-run business, and not the Four Seasons Hotel in the city centre. I saw Donald Trump’s presidency come crashing down at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
