Four Seasons Total Landscaping
A leader's people book, hire or invite the wrong one of two same-named places or people, and the mix-up, real or only suspected, is passed round as the measure of the whole operation: they can't even get the name right.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.

🗣️ In so many words
the words that carry it
💬 the tellers' own words: “Apparently the person who suggested Dana White to T meant an entirely different Dana White.” “But the tool thought they meant the head of MMA…” “Dana White (vs) Dana White” “It is the anniversary of Four Seasons Total Landscaping after all” “People said he was supposed to offer it to Dana White, a Black woman who once worked at the U.S. Department of Defense in a communications role.” “Posts claimed Trump mistakenly offered the gig to the UFC chief instead of a communications professional who once worked at the Department of Defense.” “Today: Trump offers the wrong Dana White the role of press secretary.”
