Trump's immigration policies could wreck the World Cup and the Olympics

1. In May he bragged about how he would be hosting them.

His military parade wasn’t the triumph he expected, and he’ll probably manage to f**k up the World Cup & Olympics, too.

President Donald Trump used his Memorial Day speech on Monday to boast that he would be the sitting president when the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics come to the United States.

“Amazing, the way things work out,” Trump marveled. “I got the World Cup, and I got the Olympics.”

Addressing a crowd after visiting the Arlington National Cemetery with Vice President J.D. Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, where he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Trump joked he was glad that he lost the 2020 U.S. Presidential election because he’d be able to commemorate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States Army.

“In some ways, I’m glad I missed that second term where it was, because I wouldn’t be your president for that — most important of all,” Trump said before getting sidetracked. “In addition, we have the World Cup, and we have the Olympics. Can you imagine? I missed that four years, and now look what I have. I have everything.”
