Of all the great jokes about Donald Trump’s sparsely attended 250th anniversary fair this one knocked the rest out of the park
Like us you probably haven’t been to the Great American State Fair in Washington.
The Donald Trump backed festival, such as it is, is being held on the city’s National Mall to celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday although naturally, as Trump is backing it, the president has desperately tried to make it all about him.
Which might explain why crowds haven’t exactly been flocking to attend, by the looks of it. Quite the reverse, in fact.

And it prompted no end of great responses as you might imagine …
It was called Freedom 250 because that’s how many people went. pic.twitter.com/9HPW0KQNbH

How do you fuck up the 250th this badly?
It’s such an easy win. An average Summer day on the Mall is a hundred times more full. You have to work to make it this empty.This regime is such a bizarre tragicomedy. pic.twitter.com/MoaQVYdm8n

If you’re still into social distancing, you might want to check out that Great American State Fair.
