New York Magazine: “The Great American State Fair is a 16-day event happening right now on the National Mall. Freedom 250, the White House-affiliated organization planning many of the events marking the nation’s 250th birthday, described it as, ‘A world-class exposition and modern-day World’s Fair celebrating the people, traditions, innovations, and spirit that make America the greatest nation on Earth.'”“In reality, it’s turning into Donald Trump’s answer to the Fyre Festival.”“To be fair, no Americans are trapped in disaster relief tents on the National Mall subsisting on dry cheese sandwiches (yet). But the event, which kicked off on June 24 and ends on July 10, has been plagued by one embarrassment after another, from low attendance to power outages to a janky wooden replica of Trump’s planned triumphal arch.”NOTUS: State Fair on the Mall Sputters out of the Gate.
