would Trump support the L.A. Olympics 2028?
I don’t think so.
As President, Donald Trump campaigned to bring the Olympics to Los Angeles.

We were wrong.
Andrade, Biles and Chiles captured gold, silver and bronze in the women’s floor final. It was the first Olympic gymnastics podium with three Black women. …
The podium also represented 20 Olympic medals with Biles owning 11, Andrade six and Chiles three.
