Trump opens a massive state fair in D.C. to celebrate America's 250th birthday
President Trump kicked off the 16-day "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall this Wednesday as part of the country's 250th anniversary celebrations.
The fair features a 110-foot Ferris wheel, military flyovers by B-2 bombers, and exhibits intended to represent culture and food from all 50 states. However, the event has faced immediate controversy as several Democratic-led states, including Illinois and Pennsylvania, opted out to protest what they call a partisan campaign-style atmosphere. Opening day was further complicated by high-profile musical acts withdrawing from the lineup and reports of technical issues like power outages.
Visitors can expect the festivities to continue through mid-July despite ongoing political tension over the nonpartisan nature of the milestone.
