## Resource

A new patriotic fair on the National Mall, organized by a Trump-backed group, aims to celebrate America’s diversity—but sparks debate over politics and unity. States like Arizona, Texas, Virginia, and South Carolina showcase quirky, iconic exhibits—from a dinosaur rib cage and space capsule to a putting green and baby chicks. Yet critics note political undertones, especially with an archway likened to Germany, and some states skip out due to cost or controversy. Empty booths with rocking chairs oddly become popular resting spots. As the fair rolls into July, visitors walk away with conflicting impressions of what America looks like right now.
