1. I have to point out-- this is County and State Fair time in the Midwest.

Mon Jun 29, 2026, 12:40 PM

Monday

Hundreds of localities and dozens of states hold annual outdoor fairs, generating millions of dollars of revenue and publicity and fun. They do this every summer. Millions of people attend.

They don't always go like clockwork, but they almost never get cancelled, and they're always well-attended.

If no one is attending Trump's mess, it's because it's lame and no fun. Why didn't Trump hire one of the state fair directors to run his birthday fiasco? I guess he didn't have any "friends" to farm the work out to.

This is like the first inauguration-- just another way to grift and launder millions.
