Summary
The National Mall, America’s historic heart, is being buried under a chaotic, cardboard imitation of a state fair — blocking access to its iconic monuments and museums. With empty bandstands, misleading crowd claims, and a vibe that feels more like a corporate event than a national celebration, the spectacle misses the mark on what America truly stands for.
