'We have fallen so low': Analyst laments 'dark moment' of Trump's 'ridiculous' state fair

A political analyst lamented the "dark moment" that is President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair, a 16-day festival at the National Mall organized by a Trump-linked entity called "Freedom 250," during a new podcast interview on Sunday. Jon Lovett, co-host of "Pod Save America" and a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, discussed the state fair on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast" with host Joanna Coles. He noted that attendance is low amid a heatwave across the East Coast and that several attractions at the event aren't working as advertised. While those issues were almost expected, Lovett noted that the event itself also casts a shadow over the nation's upcoming 250th birthday. "It’s a rare moment where you could have actually had a beautiful, like American patriotic celebration. I’ll be cringe and say that I’m sad that we don’t get to have that,” Lovett said. “But instead, we have this ridiculous, incompetent boob.”Lovett also pointed out that several attractions at the state fair were in poor condition. “The Ferris wheel isn’t working. The Reflecting Pool is green, the ice cream is melting, and nobody’s showing up. States feel like they should cancel, and they’re right to do so. Nobody wants to be associated with this guy. And it’s just a big bummer," he said. "I know it’s just a party, and we've got bigger fish to fry, but I do think it’s okay to take a moment and say, you know what? Like this is a dark moment, and it is a shame that we have fallen so low that this is what it would look like to forever, for how we marked an important milestone in the history of the country,” Lovett added.
