Attendees say Donald Trump's Great American State Fair fell short of expectations [View all]

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.

Kind of like everything else Trump does.
