'Virtually inedible' food at Trump's State Fair should be an 'impeachable offense': WaPo

By Tom Boggioni
Published July 1, 2026 9:45 AM ET

The catastrophes at Trump's "Great American State Fair" on the Washington Mall keep multiplying. Now adding to the inventory of failures—sparse crowds, broken rides, canceled concerts, collapsing structures, and hostile weather—is the food.

A Washington Post investigation found the culinary offerings included one that was deemed "virtually inedible," which seems par for the course for the much-maligned White House endeavor, with the report noting, "We also found snacks that should be impeachable offenses."

The most basic problem, according to the Post, it is difficult to find food, bad as it is.

We don't need foreigners taking our Gold Medals out of the country.

At the end of the Games, I expect all the medal winners to kneel before Trump and give him all their medals.

"Its all for you, Donald! Everything is all about you!"

Children dressed up in Willy Wonka costumes and excited to enter what was advertised as a “full immersive experience…promising a day of pure imagination and wonder” were instead disappointed by a seemingly unprofessional event where they received no chocolate, leading outraged parents to demand refunds for their £35 ($44) tickets.

...the only major difference being that the President of the United States wasn't laundering millions of dollars of bribe money through the Willy Wonka event.
