    1. (From the article): „Meanwhile, one of the attractions attracting attention was a cow named Melania, which Future Farmers of America student Piper Stolipher showcased at the event on Friday.“

      I guess that’s the unusual honor. Although, that sounds more like Trump or the rest of MAGA is mocking Melania.

      Also, did anyone else find that this article by The Independent tried to download malware into their computer, or is it just me? I also got dragged into a fullscreen video ad, which was annoying.

    2. whichever Celebrity Apprentice contestant planned this fiasco is gonna get fired .

      a state fair so empty that the biggest attraction was a cow named melania is political satire writing itself

      I’ve been to a combine demolition derby in northern Michigan that had more people

      The saddest thing for me was that there were only two people watching Jason Hershey’s performance. I just googled them and found that there are six members in this band.

      This means that, at best, only 1/3rd of them could convince their mothers to come out and watch them play.

    6. Honest to God- why is this not plastered on the front page of every newspaper and the lead item on every news broadcast and the top item on CNN every fricking quarter hour?

      I would have expected her to win the blue ribbon in the kissing booth. You know with her experience and all.

      for a movement obsessed with crowd sizes this has to sting a little

      I went to visit my family in my very rural PA hometown and the County Fair was on. The County my hometown is in has fewer than 7,000 residents..for the entire County and the County Fair was more crowded there lol

    10. I mean, when you can be arrested and jailed for touching paint chips floating in water….

    11. They have ‘flooded the zone’ so much people are too distracted by saving their livelihoods to care about a fair

      Whole thing reeks of a pork barrel fest for his chums ..
      They had no inclination to make it an actual event
      Your tax dollars lining his mates pockets again…

    13. 16 day event? Who the hell makes an event 16 days? I heard about this event but 16 days? At least start on July 1st and ends on the 4th.

      This is crazy

    14. I mean, they’re arresting people for looking at the reflecting pool wrong. Who wants to go to this…thing just to get harassed by Yamtits’ goon squad.

      Just sitting here thinking about the awesome event this is in the alternate timeline. I hope they’re having fun.

      My sister who lives in nova and works in dc went for shits and giggles. She said it was absolutely dead and sad. The state booths had nothing in them for the most part, she watched a band play that had a crowd of like 5 and at most she saw like a few hundred people just milling around and probably lost. She counted like 15 MAGA merch booths though before she gave up.

      Guy has torn down the White House, tarped over Kennedy, built a fence around the reflecting pool and arresting anyone who gets near it. Everything this guy touches turns to shit.

      > „We thought Melania would be a good idea because it’s the first lady’s name, and the hair colors kind of match,” Stolipher, 15, said. “And it just fit.”

      “ And like her namesake, this Melania will be sold to an old white American while she’s still young „

      It was rainy today in my town, but our America 250 venue was still packed with people.

      This shit is so sad and embarrassing when even the „silent majority“ don’t want to show up.

    20. blackmobius on

      I was expecting Melania to be getting some kind of medal of honor or some prestigious thing usually reserved for actual accomplishments and *no the ‘honor’ is that someone named a cow after her* and gfd if thats not a backhanded slap in the face I do not know what is.

      It was bizarre. I didn’t go to the whole thing, so I didn’t see all the states and didn’t see any of the departments

      The good- the mall grass is very nice, no lines to go through security, got some free water bottles, rows of portopotties with no lines

      The bad- the rodeo area was very small without enough seating, other than AZ most of the states had very little going on and it was like ChatGPT read a children’s book about the 50 states and put out very stereotypical imagery, fencing forces you to walk a long way, $10 lemonade, not enough food options

      Strange- trash cans had black fabric covers, fake columns, fake dc architecture, random tacky gold accents, people were really into paper hats that said I love Beef

    22. Topheriffic on

      Yes of course, Melania represents agriculture. We are fine….perfectly fine

    23. To save you time,,,

      A cow named after the First Lady.

      Because they have the same color hair

    24. What a shabby event. This is a billionaire’s vision of what’s good enough for the rest of us. Just thrown together.

      The name is a joke. The Great American State Fair, my eye. Any American who has attended a real state fair will tell you that this captures none of the color, excitement or joy walking those midways evokes.

      This mess isn’t even High School Boosters Carnival-level. Shameful.

      A cow named after a nude model who slept with a married man to get a special visa is wild

      I am loving this for him. He took the American 250 celebrations away from us and now his tribute to himself is nothing

    27. meep_unknown on

      Why are there Israeli flags at a “celebration” for America? No wonder nobody wants to attend.
