Trump announces ‘Patriot Games,’ with 2 high school athletes from each state

President Trump on Thursday announced plans for a “Patriot Games” next year that will pit top high school athletes from across the country against one another as part of a series of events to mark 250 years since the nation’s founding.

Trump announced the launch of Freedom 250, an organization that will lead the administration’s efforts to celebrate the country’s 250th birthday in 2026.

One of the events that will be featured as part of the festivities will be what Trump called the “first-ever Patriot Games, an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes — one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.” The event is slated for next fall.

Of course he must announce the anti-woke part of all this:

“But I promise there will be no men playing in women’s sports,” Trump added in a video posted to social media, a nod to his administration’s efforts to prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.

Thankfully, other people have made the obvious comparison (so I don't have to):

The announcement of the “Patriot Games” prompted comparisons from some social media users to “The Hunger Games,” a fictional event from the book series in which tributes from various districts in a dystopian future fight to the death.

I've already sickened by the fact Trump is the U.S. President for the 250th celebrations.

Oh boy the 250th celebration nonsense is starting finally.

Also, oh boy Proto Hunger Games. Does the winning school get food provided for the year?

This will be the anti-woke Hunger Games, so no.

Sounds like it's all one big recruiting drive for Epstein Isle v2.

As a matter of fact, they do!
