On Monday, Donald Trump criticized the Paris Olympics opening ceremony as a “disgrace,” following backlash over elements of the show. Trump told Fox News, “I’m very open-minded, but I thought what they did was a disgrace.”
The ceremony faced condemnation from Catholic groups and French bishops due to a segment featuring dancers, drag queens, and a DJ in poses reminiscent of the Last Supper, despite the creators’ claims that it was not intended to depict the religious scene. This sequence sparked international criticism from Christian groups and far-right politicians on social media.
When asked by Laura Ingraham about his plans if reelected and present at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Trump responded, “We won’t be having a ‘Last Supper’ portrayed the way they did last night.”
