Trump's Great American State Fair: A Partisan Flop
At 7:11 · chapter starts 3:35
The segment opens with Trump's 6:30 a.m. Truth Social post asking whether people appreciate his 'fantastic' Great American State Fair — misspelling 'Obama' as 'Obuma' along the way. Favreau explains the context: a 16-day exposition run by Freedom 250, the entity Trump created to compete with the bipartisan America 250, which drew 10 states to opt out, saw all major musical acts drop except Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice, and was plagued from opening weekend by extreme heat, rain, power outages, and sparse crowds. The hosts play Fox News clips in which hosts marveled at being at a 'state fair' while struggling to explain away the empty fields behind them, predicting crowds would arrive after the stock exchange closed. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy thanked the military band and called absent artists 'libtards.' Then came the segment's most memorable detail: a 54-year-old right-wing MAGA livestreamer was arrested by park police for masturbating in front of an acrobat troupe while simultaneously vaping and recording — then reportedly returned for a second attempt [1] — Tommy Vietor "A 54-year-old right-wing MAGA livestreamer was arrested by park police for masturbating in front of an acrobat troupe at Trump's Great Amer…" 06:33 . The hosts' glee is barely contained.

Fox News deployed hosts to broadcast live from Trump's Great American State Fair — only to find sparse crowds and green fields behind them. Rather than report reality, they pivoted to predicting crowds would surge after the stock exchange closed, while Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy praised the military band as 'way better than those libtards who canceled.'

A 54-year-old right-wing MAGA livestreamer was arrested by park police for masturbating in front of an acrobat troupe at Trump's Great American State Fair — while simultaneously vaping and recording. According to witnesses, he came back for round two before police nabbed him.
The original America 250 plan had bipartisan membership, national events, big concerts, and years of preparation. Trump took the money, handed it to Freedom 250, turned it into a partisan spectacle, and now almost nobody is showing up. He could have just let it happen — instead he grabbed it and torched it.
Donors who contribute $1 million or more to Freedom 250, the entity Trump created to run the fair, can secure an invitation to a private reception hosted by Trump himself.
