The Great American State Fair has hit another snag, this time with the "Temu" replica of President Donald Trump's proposed victory arch, which appears to be coming apart at the seams. On Wednesday, the plywood model " installed at the center of the National Mall " seemed to ooze thick globs of yellow spray foam or some other building material.
