Former US President Donald Trump on Monday declared the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Video games a ‘shame’ following criticism directed at its creators for what some perceived as an extreme show.
“I am very open-minded however I assumed what they did was a shame,” Trump instructed Fox Information.
His remarks got here after Catholic organizations and French bishops denounced a specific scene within the ceremony involving dancers, drag queens, and a DJ placing poses harking back to the Final Supper, though the creators maintained that it was not meant to depict the spiritual occasion.The sequence sparked worldwide backlash from Christian teams and far-right politicians on social media platforms.
When host Laura Ingraham inquired about his potential actions if reelected as president in time for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, Trump responded, “We cannot be having a ‘Final Supper’ as portrayed the way in which they portrayed it final night time.”
In response to the criticism, Thomas Jolly, the director of the opening ceremony, later acknowledged that his intention for the manufacturing was to “reconcile” and “restore.”
