'Not the picture to show': MAGA movie star mocked over revealing pic making Trump look bad
Former "Superman" actor and prominent Trump supporter Dean Cain set out to showcase the administration's Great American State Fair this weekend — but critics say the photo he chose did the opposite, capturing a sea of mostly empty grass on the National Mall.Cain posted an aerial shot taken from the fair's Ferris wheel, framing it as a celebratory snapshot of the event marking America's 250th anniversary."View from atop the Ferris Wheel at the Great American State Fair!!" Cain wrote.The image, which showed long rows of white tents flanking a vast green expanse with only sparse clusters of people scattered across it, quickly drew ridicule — most notably from former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic."Hahahaha dude this is not the picture to show," Kinzinger wrote, adding a sardonic jab at the visible attendance: "All 6 people."Cain pushed back, insisting the turnout was robust and questioning Kinzinger's motives."There were thousands of people there and all around DC today, Adam. Why do you wish it was empty? That seems odd," Cain replied.But Kinzinger turned the exchange into something sharper, arguing his objection wasn't about crowd size at all — it was about what the event had become under President Donald Trump."Dean I don't WISH it empty. I WISH Trump wouldn't have turned the celebration of America into a celebration of HIM," Kinzinger wrote. "America is about no allegiance to one man."He went on to express personal disappointment at how the milestone anniversary had played out."I've been looking forward to 250 since i was a kid and heard about 200," Kinzinger wrote. "But Trump ruined this for his 80 year old ego."The back-and-forth added to a rocky stretch for the White House-backed fair, which has faced criticism over low attendance, performer dropouts, and a string of operational stumbles since its opening. For Cain, the attempt to project a thriving celebration instead handed critics a wide-angle view of empty lawn — and a fresh opening to needle the administration over the event's struggles.Dean I don’t WISH it empty. I WISH Trump wouldn’t have turned the celebration of America into a celebration of HIM. America is about no allegiance to one man.I’ve been looking forward to 250 since i was a kid and heard about 200. But Trump ruined this for his 80 year old ego https://t.co/aPmw9XbU6R— Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 (@AdamKinzinger) June 28, 2026
