“Can I say that I won them athletically?” Trump stated with a grin. “That would be a great honor. That’s beautiful. Thank you very much.”

Casey Wasserman, the chairperson of the 2028 Los Angeles organizing committee, who introduced the president with the medals, had just as great a response when he merely replied, “Yes.”

During the presser, Trump introduced plans for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games and stated he would signal an government order establishing the White House Task Force to make sure that the U.S. is “fully prepared to welcome the world to Los Angeles” and to make sure the video games are “safe, seamless, and historically successful.”

A White House press release broke down a few of the issues the duty pressure shall be accountable for:

Coordinate Federal planning and response associated to the security, transportation, and entry/exit processes for the Games.

Identify legal, logistical, or regulatory limitations that may impede efficient Federal assist for the Games and suggest well timed options.

Assist in the planning and implementation of visa processing and credentialing applications for international athletes, coaches, officers, and media personnel.

And guarantee operational readiness across law enforcement, counterterrorism, transportation, and emergency response capabilities.

During the identical occasion on Tuesday, Wasserman shared that for the first time in the historical past of the Olympics, the Olympic torch relay will contact all 50 states forward of the Los Angeles video games.

He stated the “most states” it had ever gone to was 38, so this shall be fairly the enterprise.

The chairperson of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics then turned to Trump and invited him to run on Park Avenue to revisit historical past once again. 

Trump just smiled, but didn’t reply. We’ll have to wait and see!
