‘Fox & Friends’ Leaves Trump’s Fair After Days of Empty Scenes

Fox & Friends is back in the studio after two days at Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair, which it spent talking up over live shots of empty grass.

The 80-year-old president’s favorite morning show had gone to the National Mall to help sell his 16-day festival marking the nation’s 250th birthday, which he kicked off with a rally last Wednesday. Instead, its cameras kept beaming out the bare lawns and thin crowds that undercut his boasts that the event was “packed.”

Trump won’t get much of a break. The weekday crew—Brian Kilmeade, 62, Ainsley Earhardt, 49, and Lawrence Jones, 33—was only ever booked at the fair for Monday and Tuesday. But the weekend team—Rachel Campos-Duffy, 54, Charlie Hurt, 53, and Griff Jenkins, 51—will be back on Sunday to close out the network’s coverage, with other shows broadcasting from the Mall in between.
