Apparently most folks hate the politics that Trump inserted into his so called “American State Fair”
Tiny Crowds
“Photos and video of the small crowds, a lack of seating and near empty food booths were widely mocked on social media, while the Daily Beast called the event “virtually deserted” and The Atlantic noted in a headline: “The Great American State Fair isn’t very great.” – Forbes, Antonio Pequeño IV, June 27, 2026 – Trump’s Great American State Fair Faces Confederate Flag Controversy And Sparse Crowds

Trump verses Congress
“The fair kicked off this week and is a run by Freedom 250, an organization created by President Donald Trump to run his administration’s official events. Its creation caused tension with America250, a congressionally created group that was designed to plan the nation’s 250th anniversary. The event on the National Mall will run into July.” APNews.com, Gary Fields, June 27, 2026 – At the Great American State Fair, you can find a dinosaur’s rib cage. Unity is another matter
Comparison to Pre-WWII Germany
“There is something about the design of the event grounds and building that reminds me of the Zeppelin fields of Nuremberg rallies fame. Did Albert Speer ‘s Stripped Classicism inspire the designers?” – Comment from APnews.com Article, June 29, 2026
Racist Confederate Flag
“North Carolina’s exhibit, which is backed by private sponsors, garnered attention Friday after an “unapproved image” of the Confederate flag was displayed, a spokesperson for the North Carolina booth told Spectrum News, which noted the governor’s office said in a statement it demanded “the organizers stop dishonoring the flag of North Carolina.” – APNews.com, Gary Fields, June 27, 2026 – At the Great American State Fair, you can find a dinosaur’s rib cage.
