Keith Krach, America 250 vs Freedom 250, and Branding Confusion
The U.S. semiquincentennial is mired in branding confusion between the official "America 250" led by former presidents and Donald Trump's "Freedom 250" led by Keith Krach. Krach, a Silicon Valley executive and Purdue professor, is criticized for his management of the event and his self-promotional website. The competing organizations have led to a partisan divide over how the 250th anniversary of the United States should be celebrated.
