A Message…In a Rare Way

Sometimes messages arrive in rare ways.

Kicking off The Great American State Fair, standing center stage, speaking, President Trump said: This is the beginning of a Golden Age. We’re in a Golden Age…we were a dead country. We were dead. Now we’re the hottest country on earth…

Rolling on, added he’d given us the strongest military on earth, the most powerful technology on earth.

Next, when the fair started…the Ferris wheel broke down… electricity went out in food shops…air conditioning went out in display booths.

…all the ice cream melted…there was no ice for drinks…

One moment a politician tells us we’re in a ‘Golden Age’ with the best technology on earth – next the electricity goes out. That’s a rare way to get a message.
