Former President Donald Trump didn’t mince words when criticizing the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which included contentious elements such as a drag queen’s depiction of The Last Supper. He labeled the event a “disgrace” and expressed his dissatisfaction with the organizers.
Speaking on “The Ingraham Angle” earlier this week, Trump voiced his thoughts on the provocative ceremony and assured a contrasting spectacle for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “I thought that the opening ceremony was a disgrace, actually,” he declared. He further advised that the 2028 Olympic committee heed his counsel to prevent similar controversies from arising.
Trump, who is renowned for his robust stance on religious values, voiced his objection to the disrespectful use of Christian symbolism. “We won’t be having a Last Supper as portrayed the way they portrayed it the other night,” he stated, adding that while he is open-minded towards all communities, he believes that the organizers overstepped their bounds with their representation of The Last Supper.
This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the The Last Supper with men in drag. There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate

Trump’s critique of the ceremony pales in comparison to the blistering words of British TV personality Piers Morgan. Writing for the New York Post, Morgan berated the organizers for their “flagrant” insult towards 2.4 billion Christians globally. He also highlighted the hypocrisy in allowing such a portrayal of Christianity while other religions would not have been subjected to similar treatment.
Morgan also took a jab at America’s first lady Jill Biden, who attended the event and praised the opening ceremony as ‘spectacular … every step of the way.’ “Really, Dr. Biden? Why don’t you run that by the congregation of the churches in Washington and Delaware that you and Joe regularly attend as committed Christians?” Morgan fired back.
The 2024 Paris Olympics has gone full Woke dystopian.
The opening ceremony was filled with transgend*r mockery of the Last Supper, the Golden Calf idol, and even the Pale Horse from the Book of Revelation.

Highly respected American evangelist Franklin Graham also expressed his disapproval of the ceremony on his Facebook account. He stated, “Whether you’re Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, or Protestant, it is offensive.” Graham called on President Biden, a professed Catholic, to condemn the ceremony and its offensive portrayal of Christianity. He expressed disappointment towards the Bidens, who were present at the ceremony, for their silence on the matter.
Ah the @Olympics also have to have a golden calf to represent some Baal worship at their opening tooβ¦β¦ and then we have the rider on the white horse from Revelation 6

Trump’s denunciation of the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics was both justified and necessary. As a defender of religious values, he took a stand against the disrespectful portrayal of Christianity and pledged a contrasting display for the 2028 Olympics in the United States. His firm stance is backed by other notable figures such as Piers Morgan and Franklin Graham. If the organizers of the 2028 Olympics heed Trump’s advice, we can anticipate a respectful and inclusive event that celebrates all communities.

Final Thoughts
Trump’s critique of the Paris Olympics opening ceremony serves as a stark reminder of his unwavering commitment to upholding traditional values. His promise of a different spectacle for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles offers hope for a more respectful and inclusive celebration. Figures like Piers Morgan and Franklin Graham echo his sentiments, underlining the widespread disapproval of the ceremony’s controversial elements. The silence from President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, despite their professed Christian faith, is disappointing to say the least. It’s high time those in power take a stand for what’s right and ensure our traditions and beliefs are respected on all platforms.
Good for President Trump. To be fair, at least France stated it wasn’t mocking the Lord’s Supper.
