Trump announces 2026 Patriot Games for high school athletes to mark U.S. 250th anniversary, sparking controversy over its resemblance to "Hunger Games."
President Donald Trump has announced plans for the "Patriot Games," a four-day athletic event in fall 2026 featuring one male and one female high school athlete from each state and territory to celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary.
The initiative, part of broader Freedom 250 celebrations, has drawn widespread comparisons to the dystopian "Hunger Games" franchise due to its youth-focused, state-based competition format.
Trump emphasized the event would exclude men from women’s sports, aligning with his stance on transgender athletic participation.
Critics, including Democratic leaders and social media users, have raised concerns over the event’s tone, citing authoritarian parallels and potential militarization of youth.
The White House frames the games as a patriotic celebration of unity and merit, though details on structure, funding, and participation remain undisclosed.
