A very interesting video of Trump discussing the world fairs and bringing them back like they once were in the late 1800s. This monumental event will be taking place in Iowa at the legendary Iowa state fair grounds. Will be interesting to see as Trump talks about bringing us back in to a golden age, just what this modern day world fair will look like. Seeing this plan come to fruition in 3 years will be very exciting to see! I will keep you updated as we learn more in the coming days and months

Thanks to The Des Moines Register columnist Courtney Crowder for digging into some of Iowa's most explosive history. She writes: "If you think the newest food on a stick is the craziest attention-grabbing stunt the Iowa State Fair has ever pulled — think again. Back in the 1930s, deep in the Depression Era and way before safety regulations, fair employees had to stage bigger and bigger attractions to get people with less and less money in the gates. Thus, the great grandstand spectacle was born.
