Donald Trump's much-hyped Great American State Fair was meant to be a grand patriotic celebration marking America's 250th birthday. Instead, one of its most talked-about attractions has become the target of widespread online ridicule after close-up footage appeared to show parts of the event's signature golden arch and surrounding structures made from printed sheets attached to temporary frames.
The controversy erupted after visitors attending the Great American State Fair at the National Mall in Washington, DC, began sharing detailed videos of the event's centrepiece attraction: a large golden triumphal arch erected to commemorate America's upcoming 250th anniversary celebrations.
