So Obama proposes a plan to an org than is known for saddling cities in debt and they turn the plan down. Trump ‘gave them what they wanted to hear’ and got the deal done. High IQ business moves right there.
LOL - The bidding process started in 2015 before Trump was even elected:

By March of 2017, there were only 2 cities in the running, Paris and Los Angeles, so they agreed to split them. Paris in 2024, Los Angeles in 2028.
Trump had fuck all to do with it as usual.
You’re not giving him the credit he is due. He started the first Olympic Games. Without him, we wouldn’t have ever had them.
the TRUMP games. I feel sorry for the people living in the parallel universe where that happens…oh wait…we’re still in time to watch that calamity in 2028 if the fucker doesn’t lose.
Spoiler alert: Mexico’s paying for it.
Yes, so many countries were vying for the Olympics that the IOC felt the need to award two games at once before anyone else backed out.
I, for one, am eternally grateful that we get to use our tax dollars to build a giant arena to host underpaid, soon-to-be-discarded prime examples of talent who can shit, fuck, and possibly die at our facilities before we never use them again.
We win!
In Vancouver we turned one of the skating rinks into a multi use community facility that hundreds of people use every day. (see another one of my comments)
Good shit can come out of the games if your city plays it’s cards right. But I don’t blame you for being skeptical lol. The games were pretty controversial back in the game day.
