Los Angeles under Mayor Karen Bass is a flaming mess, so it will be interesting to see how they manage to clean up the city in time for the 2028 Olympic Games. President Trump has been busy this week, and among other things, he signed an executive order creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Olympics — and he himself will lead it.
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Trump HIMSELF will be leading the task force, instead of Gavin Newsom.
Thank GOD.
I’m sure @GavinNewsom will throw a fit that he can’t launder Olympic money… pic.twitter.com/SDsnoctdRh
Newsom won’t like not handling the money and putting half in his pocket! President Trump has signed an executive order creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Trump’s not going to let this become another California High Speed Rail embarrassment

That was exactly our fear.
Finally, real leadership on this huge event

There is no way on God’s green fucking earth that they are going to have the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. Absolutely not happening.

Smart move! This administration doesn't need California to screw this up

We'll get good construction at reasonable prices, and everything will be done ahead of schedule with Trump in charge!!

The Olympics just got interesting

Finally, someone who won’t turn the Olympics into a slush fund. Let’s go Trump.

Fantastic!
— Patricia F135 (@Myredrudy1) August 5, 2025
This means it will get done right and money for the Olympics won’t disappear into the government contract bottomless pit!
Thank you @POTUS
Under budget & on time

A lot of people are pointing out that Gov. Gavin Newsom's term is up in January of 2027, but preparations for the Olympics are already underway. Trump was smart to get a handle on it early, before it turns into another high-speed rail boondoggle.
