Donald Trump mocked by football fans

The next Olympic Games will take place in Los Angeles in 2028, with football (soccer) matches hosted at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. During a business visit to Abu Dhabi, US President Donald Trump, recently re-elected after defeating Kamala Harris, made a blunder by asking if the new Etihad Park stadium in Queens, New York, would be available for the Olympics. This question sparked mockery from football fans, as Los Angeles and New York are on opposite coasts. Despite the mistake, an official stated that the stadium could still be used.

Trump’s question drew criticism on social media, with many calling it the “dumbest” question about the LA Olympics. Fans pointed out the geographical error, especially given that the 2026 World Cup will take place across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, but not at the Queens stadium. Since starting his second term, Trump has made controversial moves, including pardoning individuals linked to the Capitol riot and laying off federal workers to cut spending. He also imposed tariffs affecting the global economy. Despite the backlash, Trump’s focus during his Middle East visit was on economic discussions.
