Donald Trump Calls Olympics Opening Ceremony a ‘Disgrace’ for Mocking ‘Last Supper,’ Even Though Organizers Said the Tableau Was a Nod to Dionysus

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Donald Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that the Paris Olympics opening ceremony was a “disgrace” due to its controversial moment involving a tableau that some viewers believed to be a recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” only the Olympics version replaced the painting’s religious figures with drag queens.

However, organizers for the event have stressed the moment was not a nod to “The Last Supper” but to the feast of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine.

When Ingraham brought up how the opening ceremony mocked “The Last Supper,” Trump weighed in and said: “I thought it was a disgrace.” The Fox News host then asked if Trump will “have enough influence on the organizers that we won’t be insulting Christians” if he is elected president again, as his potential term would overlap with the 2028 summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Calif. “We won’t be having a Last Supper, as portrayed the way they portrayed it the other night,” Trump answered. “I just think — look, I’m for everybody.

I’m very open-minded. You understand me. You know me better than most people know me. I’m very open-minded, but I thought what they did was a disgrace.” The opening ceremony tableau has also earned scorn from several Hollywood conservatives, including Rob Schneider and Candace Cameron Bure.
