This “State Fair” failure is perfect Trump.
This apparently had been planned for several years. The Smithsonian was working in part with other groups. They had top tier musicians planned for free concerts each night, fireworks, state events, activities and displays. All Trump had to do is stand back and let everyone do their thing.
But nope. He had to get involved. All the normal people and groups didn’t want to work with his nonsense. This is the end result. A lethargic multi-day MAGA rally, a half working Ferris wheel, a state exhibit for states like Maine where it’s a sign that says “Maine” and two chairs, and a few thousand people a day attending and leaving feeling ripped off.
All he had to do was stand back and let it happen.
Call Donald Trump to organize your next disappointing failure of an event!
The Four Seasons lot is available.
I wonder what percentage of attendees are actually just press covering the event?
This looks like an awful layout for a fair.
There doesn’t look like there’s much to do at all.
I’m sure there’s some stuff in those tents, but so much wasted space for what’s probably aesthetic reasons, and that definitely makes it look even more dead.
Fairs and carnivals are tightly laid out so they feel more alive and they can jam in more to see everywhere you look. This is the opposite.
This looks like an awful layout for a fair.
It’s a workable layout. You just need stuff to do. This is a lawn, some ugly empty tents, a broken ferris wheel, and tears of children expecting something more interesting than a basic city park.
It almost looks like how markets were organized in some places historically, but those were generally in smaller spaces and had an open middle to facilitate carts, horses, and just to have an open walking area. This just looks dead.
Someone who’s never been to a state fair’s idea of one, no doubt. And many of the booths are empty, with just a table and a state stamp for the visitor book.
Anyone else notice the Israeli flag hanging next to the US one in the empty music tent? 🤮
TLDR: “Melania” is the name of a cow named after the First Lady cause it’s patriotic. No one’s showing up while Trump claims the crowds are huge.
Kids are dumb. “Moolania” was right there!
RIP Malaria.
