I personally don't think the Olympics is a win, the cost to build all the facilities usually does not pay off for the hosting city.

However now that MAGA is in the Picture, that may be different, I hope so

This.

If a Dem president got the Olympics this board would be crying about what a waste of money it is.

I think that rule of thumb mostly applies to third world countries. I’m guessing US cities have a much better track record.

The IOC pretty much gave the games to LA and Paris because of this. There is very little that will have to built. The IOC is actually having a hard time getting solid bids for olympics. A number of cities voted against putting in bids for winter Olympics.
