Casey Wasserman, chair of LA28, publicly supported President Trump during a press conference where he introduced a federal task force for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Trump surrounded himself with notable critics of Los Angeles, including Vice President JD Vance. Wasserman praised Trump's efforts for the Olympics, presenting him with 1984 Olympics medals. The federal government's involvement in Olympic security was expected, but Trump's personal oversight raised concerns. Trump reiterated a willingness to deploy military support if necessary.
When asked by a reporter if he would deploy the military to L.A. the way he did this summer, Trump responded, 'We'll do anything.'
Wasserman praised Trump's 'support' of the L.A. Olympics as 'truly extraordinary' and gifted him a set of medals from the 1984 Games hosted by the city.
