is not truly replicating a country fair. I always went for the rides, games, and food, then I'd see the animals, stage acts, and finally some exhibitions. And a lot of other people came just for the stage acts, sulky racing, and demolition derby type stuff.

The booths are pretty cool, but a ferris wheel does not a carnival make.

3. I read that the Smithsonian had planned a celebration over the past 10 years.

It was planned to be a "festival of festivals" including representation of major U.S. festivals, with headlining artists and booths showcasing American food, etc.

That was all scrapped by Trump.

4. Back in the day, they had "freak shows."

They seem to have got that right.

5. People would go see the geek.

Maybe that's Trump's appeal.

6. They could balance the budget if they had a dunking tank with Administration officials.
