Donald Trump Jr. hopped on the Satanic panic bandwagon after part of the Paris Olympic Games' opening ceremony included drag queens posing in a style he found reminiscent of da Vinci's “The Last Supper.”
“It’s such a shame that an event that used to create so much national pride now creates, at best, indifference,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing more interest in Renaissance art than had been previously appreciated. “Using the games to push woke ideology has zero to do with anything the games stands for.”
The former president’s son called the scene “seemingly satanic,” and revived an apparently false claim that his late mother was an Olympian. In 1988, Ivana Trump said she was selected as an alternate for the Czechoslovakia ski team at the 1972 Olympics in Grenoble. But that statement was later denied by the Czech Olympic Committee.
