TRUMP'S BIRTHDAY BASH GETS ICED OUT BY D.C. HEAT WAVE
The Great American State Fair celebrating America's 250th birthday had to shut down Friday—Mother Nature wasn't invited to the party.
Talk about a scorcher! President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair on the National Mall got put on pause Friday afternoon when extreme heat forced organizers to clear the grounds. According to Variety and Deadline, officials made the call to temporarily shut down and sent fairgoers packing via PA announcement, telling everyone to beat it until at least 5 p.m.
The heat didn't discriminate—public safety officials coordinated the closure to keep crowds safe from the sweltering D.C. temperatures. It's just the latest twist in Trump's plans to throw a massive celebration for the nation's big 2-5-0 birthday bash.
Stay cool, America—the fair was set to reopen once things cooled down. Because nothing says "celebrating our great nation" quite like dealing with Mother Nature's idea of a practical joke!
