Summary
Following the severe weather evacuations at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump remained defiant and vowed to continue festivities – which include a massive fireworks show and a speech by Trump – even if it means waiting until “2 o’clock in the morning.”“We will wait it out, I don’t care if it’s 2:00 O’Clock in the morning, or in one hour from now,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Looks like it is going to pass, they always do. I will be there no matter what, but the ‘what’ usually turns out to be a good thing. It’s Saturday night, LETS HAVE SOME FUN, even if we are out late tonight. They say 11:00 O’Clock for the speech. Who cares???”Chaotic scenes erupted at the fair Saturday evening after law enforcement officials directed attendees to leave the National Mall, and several hundred attendees initially refused to do so. The Secret Service suspended security screenings for the fair and urged attendees to “move to shelter immediately.”“I’m not going to let some rain stop our 250th,” Trump wrote. “I’m leaving the White House soon. God Bless America!”
