President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and he's putting himself in charge of it.

The task force will coordinate federal planning for transportation, security and visa processing for the 2028 games. Mr. Trump said he's directing agencies like the State Department and Justice Department to "use every tool at their disposal to ensure a fantastic, safe and beautiful event."

The president will personally chair the task force — in line with a similar Trump-led task force to oversee preparations for the 2026 World Cup — and Vice President JD Vance will serve as its vice chair. Other members include Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

In response to questions from reporters, the president said Tuesday, "we'll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military."

Oh you're going to have a Summer Olympics under Hitler? This is a bit on the nose, but I hope he's got the leg twitches when he's filmed there in 2028, I hope his meth and speed phase is killing him by then!

Wow, Trump really thinks he'll still be capable of running a major event in 2028? He's clearly been dealing with age-related decline for a while now. There is no recovering once dementia sets in (at least, at this point in medical science.) Then with his distain for the scientific community and the diverse people who do the research, that doesn't bode well for finding a "cure" in the US anytime soon.

I have a feeling his participation is wishful thinking. I'll be shocked if he's still capable of running a bath unsupervised three years from now, let alone an entire Olympic event.

Trump has never run anything. He has people to do that for him. Usually people even more stupid and evil than himself.

I wonder if any countries would drop out to avoid going to the US?

[–] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Y'know, why can't there be 2 Olympics? One hosted somewhere else at the same time to just ignore and exile the US. I'm sorry the state has become a parasite leeching on the globe

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It is time for good old Olympic Games boycot. The last major boycot was 1984 when the games were in ... wait a minute,... in LA. "All of this has happened before, and will happen again".

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago

Motherfucker! He's gonna ruin the very event that motivated the city of LA to improve its rail system all for his evil vanity. I really hope the city remains uncrowded throughout the event just to spite the orange felonious piece of shit.

[–] maxxadrenaline@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago
