A cow named after First Lady Melania Trump has become an unexpected talking point at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C. The animal was entered by a student exhibitor, who said the patriotic name was chosen to mark America's 250th anniversary and because the cow's coloring reminded them of the first lady. The lighthearted moment comes as the event has faced a series of setbacks, including weather disruptions and changes to its entertainment lineup. #trump #usa
