The president has claimed the fair is “packed with happy people” but footage from the National Mall tells a different story
CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins trolled President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair by showing just how few people showed up to the week-long event.
Standing on the National Mall Thursday among a sparse crowd, Collins said “for a president who often fixates on crowd size, so far the fair on Washington’s National Mall hasn’t exactly lived up to the hype.”
The fair was intended to showcase goods and culture across America’s 50 states. However, when Trump has been accused of ‘hijacking’ events around America’s 250th birthday to make them about himself. The fair was opened with sparse booths and limited attractions. This, combined with D.C.’s ongoing heatwave, has resulted in minimal crowds attending and a lot of mockery on social media.

Kaitlan is a national treasure.
Controversies surrounding the fair included a Confederate Flag hanging in the North Carolina booth
Great job, North Carolina. We appreciate you letting us know in no uncertain terms to avoid you when planning to travel. Too bad, cause it’s a beautiful part of the country.
Will there be more visitors than degrees Fahrenheit at Trumps speech today?
I don’t even know fuhrerheit but I bet there will be more, if you count security and all the trash.
Why did they decide on calling it a “State Fair” anyway? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to call it The National Fair?
“State Fair” in a non-state as well. Not even a commonwealth.
Boy, I sure do love an article about a video without a link to the video. I hope that it’s just my ad blocker not letting it be shown or something.
That link can be found in another article for which I’m not providing any link.
You’re welcome!!
I’m a simple man. I see Kaitlan Collins, I click.
Not to defend Trump, but it’s hot as shit on the east coast. Philadelphia even canceled their 4th of July parade because of the heat.
I don’t think people would have shown up regardless of which pedophile was in charge.
On the same day the government stopped offering incentives for alternatives to oil and coal.
They will be canceling more events in the future.
I mean, he’s the party that is continuing to dismantle green energy. So this is sorta like a self inflicted nut punch.
The best kind of nut punch.
Her reporting isn’t trolling.
The Independent running the article after the faire was closed for heat today and therefore no one is there, is next level trolling and im here for it.
You’re right, it’s terrorism. Or will be declared as such soon enough, mark my words. The days of free speech in the U.S. are numbered.
Is it really trolling to make factual statements?
You can troll with facts, yes. Trolling is more about intent and tone than accuracy or objectivity.
Reality has long had a liberal bias.
At this point yes
Journalism == trolling. Nobody told you?
Journalism is trolling and facts are liberal spin.
Since the article doesn’t include a video clip of the CNN segment, I wonder if Kaitlan Collins did it with a big smile.
I hope she did.
Ain’t nobody want to go to a pedophile fair.
There was an event down the road that had considerable people at it. So the heat excuse kinda falls flat.
Send deets. Peopoe might want to go.
My bosses at work who are 60+ all remember how great the 200th was. Everyone voted trump and everyone is disappointed beyond belief at how bad this 250th is.
And, another video of the speaker series shows former Bachelor contestant turned Evangelical preacher, Madi Prewitt Trout, speaking to a near-empty audience.
Geez you’d think that’d have been a doorbuster.
