Watch RSBN LIVE for a full day of coverage from the National Mall as President Trump kicks off the Great American State Fair.
Tune in at 1pm EDT on June 24, 2026
President Donald Trump speaking at 8:30pm EDT
Thanks, LG!
You’re welcome, MM.
Just about everything the Democrats would never do, Trump does it and then he does it again.
On June 24, the F-16 Viper Demo Team will perform a patriotic flyover above the National Mall as part of the Kick-Off Celebration for the Great American State Fair.
You won’t want to miss the team’s special red, white, and blue F-16 Viper flying over our nation’s capital in tribute to 250 years of American independence and freedom.
IT’S HAPPENING.
The Great American State Fair kick-off celebration with President Donald J. Trump starts TODAY!
America’s 250th is loading… 🇺🇸🎡
See you at 7 PM.
Awesome kick off thread for America’s State Fair!!
Thanks, Gran … see everyone right here, later this evening. ❤️🇺🇸
I hope they have good security. State Fairs are often the targets of flashmobs of large groups of “teens.”

P.S. I'm going to eat my weight in Corn Dogs and Cotton Candy!
You are welcome.
I wonder how much RSBN will be showing of today’s events since they are going to start at 1pm EDT.
I hope it is not just endless talking by Alverez.
And he does it well!
They’re already whining and crying like the immature spoiled brats that they are!
Liberal elites seethe over America’s State Fair
(Morris Day, The Commodores, Milli Vanilli and Martina McBride also announced they would not perform at the event)
Trump Derangement Syndrome struck again this week, as somehow something as pure Americana as the nation’s 250th birthday State Fair, planned for the Washington Mall next month, became mired in controversy and liberal grievance.
On Friday morning, a list of lower-tier musical acts such as Vanilla Ice and Young MC were announced as performers for the two-week event starting June 25. At first, the mocking complaint was that the bipartisan commission running the event had failed to book major acts, as if that was somehow embarrassing for a state fair, when in fact it is standard fare for such events.
One does not see Taylor Swift or Oasis at the state fair, one sees Weird Al Yankovic or the remaining members of the Doobie Brothers between funnel cake and the demolition derby. Of course, the woke coastal liberals who hate Trump know nothing of such things.
Hours later, though, the mockery of these D-listers changed, as several, including Morris Day, The Commodores, Young MC, Milli Vanilli and Martina McBride all announced they were, in fact, not going to perform at the fair.

Good! Who needs ya? You’re Making America Great Again by NOT being there, LOL! MAGA!
I’m sure that security will be very tight.
Those DC teen troublemakers better behave.
Good morning, Diana!
I’ll be right behind you getting my fill of Corn Dogs and Cotton Candy.
Thanks so much for this thread, LG! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
For anyone who might be thinking of going, it runs through July 10. More here....
