'Did the rapture happen?' Mockery ensues as Fox News broadcasts from empty Trump event
The internet had a hilarious response to the low attendance at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair on Monday.Reporters broadcast live from the sparsely-attended fair commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, marked by bad weather that canceled rapper Vanilla Ice's performance, power outages melting ice cream, a Confederate flag display that ignited a firestorm and lackluster reviews from attendees. Journalist Aaron Rupar commented on a Fox News reporter's live report from the celebration."Did the rapture happen overnight? Fox & Friends is broadcasting from a completely empty Trump state fair on the National Mall," Rupar wrote on X.Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) described a similar scene."I went to the Great American State Fair this weekend…and it really was as empty as reported. **And where did the rest of our taxpayer dollars go?" Stansbury wrote on X.Another D.C.-based reporter questioned the turnout, sharing an aerial video view from the Freedom 250 Ferris wheel."The Great American State Fair on Saturday at 2:15pm. What do you make of the crowd?" Jon Michael Raasch, The Daily Mail's White House correspondent, posted on X.Strategist Christopher Webb responded to reporting from MS NOW at the location."The Great American State Fair was really just the remaining MAGA faithful refusing to admit it’s over," Webb wrote on X.Lawyer David Lurie joked about the situation."Confused attendees thought they were supposed to invade the Capitol," Lurie wrote on Bluesky.Did the rapture happen overnight?

Critics ridicule Trump after tarps cover Kennedy Center facade
Political commentators criticized President Donald Trump Sunday after CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins posted a photo showing the Kennedy Center's signage still obscured by scaffolding and tarps. In May, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to remove Trump's name from the Kennedy Center facade after it was installed without proper approval as part of an effort to rebrand the venue as the Trump Kennedy Center. The Trump administration responded to the court order by erecting scaffolding and tarps, with some analysts theorizing the move was designed to create the appearance of compliance while concealing Trump's name indefinitely. "The Big Bang Theory" creator Bill Prady commented, "Donald Trump’s ego is as fragile as a china eggshell."Former Republican National Committee official Douglas Heye wrote, "We are governed by children." Editorial writer Franklin Harris posted, "This administration's level of pettiness is truly mindboggling."Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Ex-Republican shreds former colleagues for allowing Trump’s 'utterly obscene' abuses
In light of bombshell new corruption allegations against President Donald Trump and his family, a former Republican tore into his past colleagues for being asleep at the wheel in the face of "utterly obscene" abuses of the presidency.Over the weekend, the New York Times published a report detailing how the president's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are poised to profit from a new deal the federal government just reached with Kazakhstan, granting the U.S. access to key tungsten mines. The deal also appears set to financially enrich the family of Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick."According to the lengthy Times report, published Sunday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trump personally helped secure Kazakhstan’s agreement to grant mining rights to a U.S.-backed company, Kaz Resources," Mediaite explained in a piece about the Times' finding. The administration also approved preliminary applications for up to $1.6 billion in federal financing for the project, though the funding still requires additional approvals."It added: "Within weeks of those negotiations, investors linked to Dominari Securities, a financial firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, acquired a 20 percent stake in a corporate entity connected to the Kazakhstan venture. Around the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, controlled by the Lutnick family and overseen by Howard Lutnick’s sons Brandon and Kyle, helped raise $210 million for a related company involved in the transaction."Responding to a post sharing this Mediaite coverage, Joe Walsh, an ex-Republican and outspoken conservative critic of Trump, lashed out against his past colleagues in Congress for letting such corrupt abuses take place."Public corruption, utterly obscene, at a scale we’ve never seen," Walsh wrote on X. "Why do they do it? [Because] they don’t believe their supporters give a damn about it, and they know the Republican-led Congress won’t do a damn thing about it."Walsh previously served as a Republican representative in Congress from Illinois, between 2011 and 2013. In light of Trump's ascendance in the party, he became a prominent conservative opponent of his agenda, ultimately leaving the party to become an independent in 2020. In 2025, he went a step further and began referring to himself as a "conservative Democrat."Public corruption, utterly obscene, at a scale we’ve never seen. Why do they do it? Bcuz they don’t believe their supporters give a damn about it, and they know the Republican-led Congress won’t do a damn thing about it. https://t.co/t0WTO9CaJ6— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) June 29, 2026
