Donald Trump Jr labels drag queens' performance at 2024 Olympics 'seemingly satanic'

Expressing his disapproval on social media, Donald Trump Jr described the opening ceremony performance by the drag queens as "seemingly satanic."

In his post on X (formerly Twitter), Trump Jr wrote, "My mom was an Olympian (Czech Natl Ski Team), and as a kid we would be excited for weeks leading up to the games."

"Now with the ever predictable (& seemingly satanic to me) drag queen opening ceremonies and never ending bs, no one I know even thinks about it beyond maybe watching some highlights," he added.

Slamming the international multi-sport event, the eldest child of Donald Trump wrote, "It’s such a shame that event that used to create so much national pride now creates, at best, indifference. Using the games to push woke ideology has zero to do with anything the games stands for."

"Rather than highlighting the incredible accomplishments of these amazing athletes corp media subverts all their hard work to push leftist insanity… it’s not only a shame, but a true disservice to some of the most talented and dedicated people on earth," he noted.

"Hopefully one day enough people will finally have had enough of the BS. Till then you can continue to watch everything good and decent and everything you hold dear get burned to the f…ing ground. The choice is yours," Trump Jr added.



 

Was Ivana Trump an athlete at the Olympic Games?

Ivana Trump, a businesswoman and skilled skier who competed on the Czechoslovakian junior national team died in 2022 and is survived by her three children she had with former president Donald Trump and their ten grandchildren.

However, there has been controversy regarding her claims she was selected as an alternate for the Czechoslovakia ski team at the 1972 Olympics in Grenoble.

In his 1987 book 'Trump: The Art of the Deal', the 78-year-old former president also wrote that Ivana competed in the Winter Olympics on the Czechoslovak ski team in 1972.

This claim was disputed by the Secretary General of the country's Olympic Committee and further investigated by Snopes in 2021. The investigation found that Czechoslovakia did not send women alpine skiers to the 1972 Olympic Games, according to Daily Mail.
