Like everything else, Trump's GOP wants to make the Olympics & other events like FIFA into sources of grift & public corruption.

The Olympics & FIFA are already rife with corruption, Trump wants to balloon the extortion & bribery.

It explains why gaming & gambling billionaires like Adelson, Bigelow, Fertitta, Wynn, Lutnick, and McMahon funded the GOP so heavily in 2024; the public corruption.

@jeffjarvis Unless we want this moment in our own current history to be a moral failure future generations will never forgive us for...

Consider that the famous 1936 Nazi Olympics, now widely recognized as a major propaganda victory for the Adolf Hitler regime, was the first time anyone proposed a boycott for human rights violations - and the leader of this proposal was The US.

The irony will not be lost on our children & grandchildren.
