Thursday

It opened on June 25. It’s been open one week. Everyone who wanted to go and has the ability to get to DC has already been. Because it’s not a state fair it doesn’t have most of the traditional elements of one - no livestock exhibits, no home economics displays, no arts entries - so, you go once and you’re good. And the only people who’d go once are Trump’s fans - of which there aren’t many.
