Donald Trump's great American state fair has become Donald Trump's great American state failure. So, we all know what happened in the first, you know, couple of days at this, which I talked about Thursday and Friday. Trump gave his speech that was so awful. You had MAGA walking out like not just walking away from the speech, walking out of the entire event. Shawn Duffy went up there and humiliated himself and the entire country. And of course, people weren't showing up. Vendors were just leaving booths unattended because nobody was there over the weekend. It got so much funnier.
There was one video and I'm hoping everybody has seen it because it went viral in various different forms, but it's a photo of these musicians up on the main stage performing for the audience of thousands. Right? That's what the caption told us. But the guitarist was wearing reflective sunglasses. And if you zoom in and look at the reflection in those sunglasses, there's literally fewer than 10 people standing there. And all you see is empty grass for dozens and dozens, if not hundreds of yards. Nobody is going to this piece of crap event. The ferris wheel broke down. That's literally the main attraction because it's like the only actual thing to do is go get up on the damn ferris wheel and it broke down.
And then once it got working again, get this, there was a power outage. So, it couldn't work again. Nothing there could work because there was no electricity. And then on Sunday, the whole thing was shut down because of bad weather. The White House has been posting AI generated videos of the, you know, fairgrounds with, you know, just thousands of people all over the place. But it's not just AI videos. It's like really bad AI videos.
Think back to like the worst Photoshop you've ever seen. That's what this is. But the White House is so desperate to convince people that everything is great, everything is fine. There's so many there's thousands of people here. But there's not. They have to fake it. Which I'm sure Donald Trump thought of that idea when he thought of every woman he's ever slept with, hey, why don't we just fake it? Uh, but let me put this into perspective. Yes, this is a partisan political event. So, right away you're going to alienate at least twothirds if not more of the country, but you would think MAGA would still show up for it, right?
What why are they not coming? Well, the answer is quite obvious. They can't afford it. Traveling to Washington DC at this point from anywhere in the country is insanely expensive. Plane tickets are through the roof. Gasoline prices are still restrictively high. So all of these MAGA people from, you know, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, well hell, we can't drive to DC. that it cost me $400. We can't go to a state fair. And even if we did, if we could afford the gas, we can't afford the astronomical prices of hotel rooms in DC or the surrounding area because Trump has crippled us financially.
So even though we want to go and show our support to the man who has us over at every given opportunity, we can't afford to because he's us over at every given opportunity. So congratulations, Trump. You didn't think of the fact that destroying the economy and hitting your voters the hardest would make you look like a damned fool, but it did. And you are. And so this is where we are.
