Say what you like about Donald Trump’s State Fair, but one thing’s for sure: it neatly summarizes everything 2026 America is all about. This is Fyre Festival meets colonialism, with a billboard that misspelled “Freedom”, a plywood arch and $23 turkey legs. Happy Fourth, y’all!
Despite being billed as a marquee celebration of America's 250th birthday, photos and videos from multiple days at the fair in Washington have shown large stretches of empty pavement and lightly attended exhibits. Organizers blame timing, weather and the sheer size of the site, because in a country of 342 million, how is anyone really supposed to fill a two-mile stretch? And who the hell was supposed to know it was going to be hot in July?!
