If you\u2019re feeling that the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States has been hijacked by a narcissistic, political hack, you\u2019re not alone. Instead of a joyous event for all Americans, our holiday has been plagued by vicious attacks on those who haven\u2019t drunk the Make America Great Again Kool-Aid. And the results are proof positive that we, the people, are not going for it.<\/p>\n

Not one bit.<\/p>\n

One of the primary \u201ccelebrations\u201d was the Great American State Fair held on the National Mall this week. Supposedly showcasing the history of the 50 states, a whopping 20 states decided to skip the event entirely. Not because they\u2019re not proud of their state or didn\u2019t want to tell the wonderful tales about the vast diversity and beauty of this place we call home, but because President Donald Trump turned it into a political rally for himself instead of a birthday party for all Americans.<\/p>\n

Most of the musicians and entertainers who were booked cancelled as it morphed into a staged event for Trump. Those few that didn\u2019t cancel had very sparse crowds sprinkled over the lawn in one of the most embarrassing displays of just how historically unpopular our current president and his attempts to divide, not unite, Americans are with the populace.<\/p>\n

Despite Trump claiming a crowd of 45,000 people, about 1,000 showed up. Of course this is totally in line with his self-aggrandizing exaggerations across the board since he lives in a fantasy world where he is worshipped and adored.<\/p>\n

But the stunning failure of the Great American State Fair isn\u2019t alone in demonstrating the fact that Americans have grown very tired of this particular reality TV show clown. Consider these events of the last week:<\/p>\n
