quite yet because the promise of the Olympics might be what keeps Trump from actually prosecuting, imprisoning, and/or executing his opponents.
Hitler hid his anti-semitism and expansionist policies during the Olympics. There was a movement to boycott the 1936 Olympics which narrowly lost. It couldn't have happened later in his regime when his offences became more obvious. And of course, once he began waging war.

If Trump arrest Obama, for example, the Olympics will be removed from the US.
