Latest updates on Trump’s teen athletic tournament the Patriot Games
Trump’s Patriot Games likened to the Hunger Games
President Trump announced the Patriot Games – a proposed teen athletic tournament, last July, but few details have emerged since its initial mention.
Despite a recent White House event focused on student athletics, there was no update on the Patriot Games, though the event has not been officially called off.
The tournament is intended to feature one male and one female student from each US state and territory, suggesting a highly selective participation model.
Trump has explicitly stated that transgender athletes will not be permitted to compete in the Patriot Games.
Social media users have drawn comparisons between Trump’s proposed tournament and The Hunger Games novels.
