Great American State Fair merch seems to be missing Trump
USA Today • • nation
Key Points:
- Official merchandise at the Great American State Fair does not feature Donald Trump's image, focusing instead on Freedom 250 branding tied to the U.S. 250th anniversary celebration.
- Trump-related merchandise was available only at his June 24 rally, including T-shirts and hats with slogans like "America Is Back," but these items were not sold at the fair itself.
- Trump’s portrait will appear on limited-edition commemorative items such as U.S. "patriot passports," 24-karat gold coins, and potentially a $250 banknote, although the latter faces legal and legislative hurdles.
- The $250 bill featuring Trump’s image, designed by British painter Iain Alexander and personally approved by Trump, would mark the first living person on U.S. currency in over 150 years if authorized.
- The Great American State Fair continues through July 10 on the National Mall, offering themed programming and cultural performances, with merchandise sales reportedly steady but no visible Trump-related items among attendees.
