Trump joins Olympic opening ceremony criticism “a disgrace”
“There will be no ‘Last Supper’ production at the 2028 LA Olympics”
Former US President Donald Trump has joined the global criticism of the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony. On
the 29th (local time), the former president criticized the parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’ that caused controversy at the Olympic opening ceremony on Fox News, saying, “I’m a very open-minded person, but I thought what they did was a disgrace.”
Regarding the next competition, the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, he said, “We will not (produce) ‘The Last Supper’ the way they depicted it.”
The opening ceremony of this event, held on the 26th, was criticized in many ways.
It parodied the Last Supper and featured a drag queen (a male performing as a woman) performer, drawing criticism from religious circles.
Ann Deskamp, the spokesperson for the IOC for this event, bowed her head and said, “It was definitely not our intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, we tried to show tolerance and community spirit. If people felt offended, we apologize.” The
IOC issued an apology statement after criticism poured in regarding the Last Supper parody. In addition, the IOC posted an apology on its official website for the mistake of calling out South Korea as North Korea during the opening ceremony, and IOC President Thomas Bach even made a phone call to President Yoon Seok-yeol to apologize. There have been continuous reports of operational errors, such as playing the national flag or national anthem that do not match the national anthem during the event. 파워볼사이트
