Plenty of lawn space and short lines at Trump's Great American State Fair

Attendees Say Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair Fell Short of Expectations​

President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair overpromised and underdelivered.

Attendees to the two-week-long fair that spans the length of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., were underwhelmed by the event billed as "a world-class exposition and modern-day World's Fair" by Freedom 250, a group created by the White House to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

The fair promised to "showcase the very best of America through state pavilions, industry displays, family-friendly attractions, movie screenings, musical performances, military ensembles, spectacular flyovers, daily cultural programming, and an iconic Ferris wheel on the National Mall."

Instead, attendees who came from all over the country were met with Trumpy installations, empty booths, melted ice cream, and, for some reason, a cow named after first lady Melania Trump.

The event let down even the president's own supporters. Charles DeJesus, a three-time Trump voter from Pennsylvania, told The New York Times that he had been planning to attend the fair since first hearing about it six months ago.

"It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but that's OK," he said, explaining that he expected more people, a buzzier atmosphere, and more food options. "The fat boy in me was looking for some good food, but that didn't quite happen."


 
The Seattle bosses did move the crime and vagrants out of the Seattle core.....nobody has seen that done in many years.
 
Yea, those artists sure showed everybody! They wanted to screw Trump so badly that they couldn't perform for their thousands of fans that would have showed up. Of course, they still expect their fans to buy their merch and such. What a bunch of assholes.
I know. Better to buy Trump merch. It's really funny how you don't realize how dumb your argument is.

I admire the musical artists for voicing their opinions.
 
Rep. French Hill of Arkansas posted his own reel from the top of the Ferris wheel, where the view behind him showed the vast, empty National Mall grass stretching toward the Capitol.

“I hope if you have any plans to visit Washington for the 4th of July that you let us know,” Hill said from the ride.
:lolup:​
There are more people at our little town's kite festival :palm:

'Successful businessman' Donald Trump can't even get his shit together to put on an epic state fair.

I've never been to any state fair that was partisan.

Maybe "brilliant businessman" Donald Trump should have realized one can't successfully stage an epic state fair by making it hyper-partisan.
 
The County Fair where I live is more interesting, better managed, has more A-list musical performers, more rides and vendors than Trump's shit show.
Well I live in Erie County NY and here is what they say about our county fair.

It even competes with the state fair.
Yes one of the largest fairs in the country and it makes Trumps fair look like a joke.
 
You would think a guy who ran on a reputation of being a successful businessman could get shit done and put on an epic state fair.
Trump lies a lot. In his rambling bullshit on 22MAY26 he said "I know more about housing than anybody in history". Who says shit like that except a delusional nutjob?


Notice that the WH refuses to post transcripts of Trump’s delusional bullshit.
