Trump Names Himself Chair of Olympics Task Force

An executive order signed by President Trump on Tuesday names him chair of a White House task force on the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, viewed by the president as “a premier opportunity to showcase American exceptionalism,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

Said Trump: “We’ll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military, OK? I will use the National Guard or the military. This is going to be so safe. If we have to.”
