Trump 'livid' over crowd size at National Mall state fair, report says: 'Who thought this was a good idea?'

President Donald Trump grew "livid" over the crowd size at his kickoff event for the Great American State Fair, a weeks-long celebration of America's 250th birthday on the National Mall, according to a new report. And White House officials now fear a lackluster turnout could overshadow his Fourth of July speech.

The Republican president opened the fair — organized by Freedom 250 — on June 24 with remarks put together after several musical acts dropped out. During his roughly 30-minute address, attended by administration officials and Trump supporters outfitted in MAGA-branded outfits, he claimed America was "back" and "respected by everybody."

Trump, who spoke after sunset, did not initially know how large the crowd was, CNN reported. But he was later shown an aerial photo that depicted vast stretches of empty fields behind the audience.

After seeing the image, the president became "enraged," and White House officials removed it from their social media posts, sources told the outlet. Trump later wrote on Truth Social that the crowd had been "packed to the brim" with "at least 45,000 people."

I've been thinking that!! Imagine a state fair where all the states and territories enthusiastically present the best of what they are. If Trump wasn't the worst president in history and one of the most abhorrent public figures in American history, I could have imagined a celebration stretching from Memorial Day to Labor Day in which different weeks had different themes - history, industry, natural resources, food, art, music - it could have been absolutely legendary, especially combined with the World Cup.

But noooo, we had to live in the universe where a gibbering buffoon cratered the East Wing and shat an MMA event on the White House lawn.

Can't even admit that he had wanted something if that something fails to come to fruition. The world has never seen a more fragile snowflake.
