President Trump Wants a Task Force for the LA Olympics. I Assume It Will Wear Matching Windbreakers.
Nothing says “we’ve learned nothing from history” quite like handing Donald J. Trump executive oversight of an international sporting event. The man who once tried to host a G7 summit at his own golf resort is now assembling a task force to oversee the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Because nothing inspires global trust like the
