Several musicians also pulled out of planned performances over concerns that the event had become too political. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Daily Beast found huge stretches of the grounds largely empty despite organizers expecting thousands of visitors\u2014a humiliating blow to Trump, 80, who launched the event with a MAGA rally last week. Even some attendees who support the president say the event has failed to live up to expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up with state fairs in Iowa, and this is really disappointing,\u201d Holly Lewis, 57, a travel agent from Richmond, Virginia, told The Telegraph while visiting the Maine stall with her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis should have been the highlight of my life,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThis should have been like the World Exposition. But most of the states are a bit of a disappointment. It would have been really good if FIFA had run this. This feels like a silent protest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another Trump supporter, Wiley Larsen, who was counting visitors at the Arizona booth, suggested the president\u2019s policies had hurt attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2624\">Trump, 80, Turns Death Tribute Into Weird Brag About Himself<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we would have had a lot more people if Trump wasn\u2019t president,\u201d Larsen told The Telegraph. \u201cI think he\u2019s doing a lot of great things,\u201d he added, while acknowledging Trump\u2019s divisiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Ari Drumm, 58, a salesman from Florida, blamed \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome\u201d for the no-show states and sparse crowds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a disgrace,\u201d he said. \u201cWe should be together in this. We should be 50 united states and this is not very unified.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The fair has also drawn criticism over its ties to Freedom250, the pro-Trump organization behind the event.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Congress established America250, a bipartisan commission tasked with organizing nonpartisan events to commemorate the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary. However, after returning to office last year, Trump established Freedom250 to coordinate anniversary celebrations, including the Great American State Fair.<\/p>\n<p>Critics have accused the Trump administration of diverting funding from America250 to Freedom250 and argue that the anniversary celebrations have become overly centered on the president. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2622\">Trump Confronted in \u2018Shocking\u2019 Oval Office Clash<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even some of Donald Trump\u2019s own supporters have admitted they are underwhelmed by the president\u2019s self-hyped Great American State Fair in D.C.
