Dean Cain says mocking attendance at President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair makes critics “anti-American.”
The former Superman actor jumped into the crowd-size debate after posting a Saturday photo from the Ferris wheel at the National Mall. The image showed white tents, the Washington Monument and groups of visitors spread across an expansive lawn.

Most attendees admitted the State Fair did not draw a large crowd, but Cain clapped back.
“Tons of people,” he replied when someone questioned the turnout, saying people were “not just sitting on the grass” because “it’s hot outside!” He added that the snapshot was only a “partial” view of the event.

“Any negative reactions to this post expose the haters as anti-American. Seek help,” Cain wrote on X.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican and frequent Trump critic, also chimed in with a jab: “Hahahaha dude this is not the picture to show. All 6 people.”
Cain responded, “There were thousands of people there and all around DC today, Adam. Why do you wish it was empty? That seems odd…”
