BREAKING: Trump’s “Great American State Fair” COLLAPSES as six states refuse to participate!
Donald Trump’s scheme to hijack America's 250th anniversary celebration into a MAGA love-fest is turning into a humiliating flop, as multiple states are outright refusing to join his partisan spectacle.
Officials from Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Oregon have all told reporters they will not send official delegations to the Great American State Fair, which kicks off June 25 on the National Mall.
At least two more states – Pennsylvania and Washington – remain on the fence just two weeks out.
This comes after a giant wave of musicians already pulled out of the concert performances, leaving Trump’s big birthday bash for America looking increasingly lonely and desperate, populated only by Z-list celebrities.
It wasn't supposed to be like. Congress initially authorized the American 250 committee at a budget of $150 million. Soon after, Trump created a Task Force by executive order that commandeered the project with the Freedom 250 committee as a "parallel" partnership he directly controls.
Freedom 250 poached money away from the America 250 account, before turning on other agencies like the Department of Interior. For the record, America 250 is currently $100 million in the red.
Trump’s minions have taken over high-profile spectacles like the UFC fight and the fair while the original congressional commission has been largely sidelined, and, as we noted, bankrupted.
Freedom 250 has been rightly accused of politicizing and commercializing the nation’s milestone anniversary, with the obvious lowbrow focus on tacky spectacle and MAGA branding.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey had this to say about the whole affair:
“This guy finds a way to try to get money into his own pocket any which way. It’s just ridiculous.”
Even some red states are quietly dragging their feet, wary of the obvious MAGA politicization and high costs involved for them.
States are voting with their feet, and the “Great American State Fair” is rapidly becoming the “Meh American State Fair,” and organizers don’t seem to give damn except for the parts Trump personally cares about.
The more Trump tries to force his brand onto everything, the more people push back. Even for the country's 250th anniversary.
America isn’t buying what that jerk is selling.
This should end the run of Marsha Blackburn for the Governor of Tennessee. The Golden Age of America is not authoritarian rule. It is time for the PEOPLE to take control away from the government and take it back. I fear for the Republic, if we can keep it.
Well, well, well.....What do we have here? Could it be an email between Epstein and JD Vance’s techno-tyrant benefactor Peter Thiel where they plan to “collapse society" in order to create wealth opportunities for themselves?
Well, I'll be damned. It is!
@vegasbobbi@ReallyAmerican1@MattMahanSJ@RAMediaNetwork I'm from SoCal too, I don't know him either. To those who have been marginalized, hunted, treated less than human - it's good that he's changed but actions, past or present, will always drive vote choices. It's been hell and his ties to ICE will be pointed out.
JUST IN: The Justice Department is moving to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys leaders who led hundreds of allies to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
They had previously had lengthy sentences commuted, but not pardoned, by Trump.
