    Do you know how bad you have to fuck up to make a fairground so repulsive that no one in America wants to come to it?

    Fairs are one of those things America does best. Fairs are supposed to be about cheap tshirts, greasy food, painting a butterfly on your face, stupid games with even stupider prizes, a shit ton of carnival rides, music, drinks, someone doing woodcarvings of animals in pg-13 suggestive poses, and kissing a stranger at dusk near the port-a-potties which you'll later regret and refer to only as "the mistake".

    Trump somehow saw all that deeply entrenched American culture, art, and cuisine and said "fuck that shit what if instead we do 24/7 christofascist podcasts about me plus a single ferris wheel that will immediately break and literally nothing else".

    What a bunch of fucking loser freaks these people are. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

    trumpery adjective

    Trumpery derives from the Middle English trompery and ultimately from the Middle French tromper, meaning "to deceive." (You can see the meaning of this root reflected in the French phrase trompe-l'oeil-literally, "deceives the eye"-which in English refers to a style of painting with photographically realistic detail.) Trumpery first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase trump up means "to concoct with the intent to deceive," but there is most likely no etymological connection between this phrase and trumpery.

    @Lana I remember that someone said once, that liberals never had any fun but Obama and Biden laughed a lot, Trump never does, not even about his own bad jokes. So I guess this is what you get from a man who doesn't know fun and joy like at all.

    Honestly I don't think its necessarily quality, but cost, I know there's an official travel agency, isn't there? Bet you that they put you up at the nearest Trump hotel, and we know they'll be price gouging, ditto for flights, etc, prolly all friends. Besides, we're all broke, even if there isn't any price gouging going on, who can afford the time and money to travel to DC for this?
