President Donald Trumps 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 Worlds Fair by Freedom 250, a group created by the White House to celebrate Americas 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.

(20,080 posts)they are the 250 event, because the real images of the sparse attendance are so embarrassingly bad.
(the fan fest thing is technically part of the 250 thing, but everything else there is dead as a door nail, so it is clearly an independent draw)
