Donald Trump Jr. recently took to social media to unleash his frustration over the leftist “insanity” that has seemingly engulfed the Paris Olympics, especially the cringe-inducing opening ceremony. One can hardly fault him, given that the ceremony included an LGBTQ parody of the iconic “Last Supper” alongside a fashion show featuring transgender models strutting their stuff. It might be safe to wager that the ancient Greeks are rolling in their tombs at the sight of Dionysus morphed into this bizarre display of modern antics.
In this age of delusion, the ceremony even proposed a “suggested bisexual threesome” and paraded around with a bearded drag queen wearing next to nothing while performing provocatively. For any sensible American watching, it begs the question: how did we get here? The games that once celebrated athletic excellence now appear to be a platform for an assortment of agendas that seem more bent on shoving a particular narrative down everyone’s throat rather than honoring the true spirit of competition.

Reflecting on this debacle, Trump Jr. reminisced about childhood excitement every four years when the games rolled around. He remembered watching the Olympics alongside his family, particularly thinking of his late mother, Ivana Trump, who he claims was an alternate on the Czechoslovakian ski team. Whereas the Olympics used to awaken feelings of national pride, today’s ceremonies seem to fail in just about every conceivable way. Instead of celebrating the achievements of hardworking athletes who dedicate their lives to training, the focus has shifted to theatrics that many believe dilute the essence of what the Olympics should represent.
Trump Jr. lamented that events he once found inspiring now evoke only apathy among his peers. Instead of discussing athlete records and performances, the conversation has morphed into bewilderment over the absurdity of a drag queen leading the charge. The games, meant to unite nations and inspire youth, have shifted from a celebration of human achievement to a political sideshow, leaving a bitter taste for those who hold traditional values.
The mastermind behind this unfolding spectacle is Thomas Jolly, a 42-year-old theater director known for his avant-garde approach to the classics. He’s earned a reputation in highbrow French theater, but one has to question what qualifies someone like him to shape the narrative of an international historical event. The decision-makers appear to have forgotten that people tune in to watch athletes compete, not for a leftist agenda masquerading as entertainment. As the games approach, conservatives everywhere are left pondering how far the West has truly fallen.
