President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday creating a task force to oversee the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, and he’s putting himself in charge of it.

The task force will coordinate federal planning for transportation, security and visa processing for the 2028 games. Mr. Trump said he’s directing agencies like the State Department and Justice Department to “use every tool at their disposal to ensure a fantastic, safe and beautiful event.”

The president will personally chair the task force — in line with a similar Trump-led task force to oversee preparations for the 2026 World Cup — and Vice President JD Vance will serve as its vice chair. Other members include Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

In response to questions from reporters, the president said Tuesday, “we’ll do anything necessary to keep the Olympics safe, including using our National Guard or military.”

    Motherfucker! He’s gonna ruin the very event that motivated the city of LA to improve its rail system all for his evil vanity. I really hope the city remains uncrowded throughout the event just to spite the orange felonious piece of shit.
