President Donald Trump has signed an executive order establishing a task force to oversee the organization and security of the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This move follows his recent reestablishment of a sports, fitness, and nutrition council, signaling his intent to play a prominent role in sports administration. The task force will address security and visa issues related to the Games. Trump will personally lead the group, which has drawn criticism from local Democratic officials, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Additionally, Trump has proposed implementing rigorous gender testing for female athletes to exclude transgender competitors from women's events. He also suggested the potential use of military resources during the Olympics. These measures come amid broader immigration policies that could complicate entry for foreign visitors to the United States during the Games. The initiative has sparked debate over local readiness for the Olympics, with concerns about crime, homelessness, and infrastructure challenges in Los Angeles.
LOL @latimes !!! There are many reasons for Los Angeles to cancel @LA28 @Olympics (fire destruction, rampant crime/homelessness, poor public transit, hotels closing, venues unprepared, insufficient police). @realDonaldTrump isn’t one of them. Stop giving @KarenBassLA an out. https://t.co/0RrxmaHyqK
Karen Bass is upset that Trump is deporting the criminal illegal aliens and says that it will destabilize her economy. Maybe she can join them as well! https://t.co/dMt19PcsOv
