        Pretty much this. She seems to have won a lot of $$$ by being a mail-order bride?

        I’m not sure that’s something that needs to be tied into our 250th anniversary, though.

    “why did you call the cow Melania? I mean look at her hair! Oh, yeah, you’re right” is a legitimate paraphrase of the article

    It’s also the best summary you’ll get so feel free to skip the rest

    the fact that the countries 250th founding celebration is a terrible state fair run by a convisted rapist which pretends to honor an ex prostitute who immigrated illegally into the US on an ‘Einstein unusual talent’ visa is almost too perfect.
    An open pedophile marketplace in the middle of it with some open air pedophile rape with the sounds of screaming children is about the only way it could be more spot on. And maybe some missile batteries rotating nearby.

    Ah yes, the memories of my childhood, going to the ‘state fair’ with all the Greek architecture. Nothing says ‘downhome america’ like greek & roman architecture. WTAF???

    Anyone else notice the Israeli flag hanging next to the US one in the empty music tent? 🤮

    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.

      In the UK, Banksy once set up a deliberately crap theme park called Dismaland.

      Trump’s brainfart is even worse crap than that, and not deliberate.

      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.

    TLDR: “Meelania” 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.

    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.

      To be fair, that’s at least better than the sign saying “Mane”, which is closer to their usual level of competence 🤷🏻

      Love to see it. The only result I ever wanted for something like this. Let everything he does and everything he touches turn to stone and dust.
