Trump Announces “Patriot Games”: Critics Compare to Hunger Games
Donald Trump’s announcement of the “Patriot Games,” a four-day athletic event featuring high school athletes from each state, has drawn comparisons to the dystopian themes of “The Hunger Games.” The event is part of a larger 250th-anniversary celebration, including a prayer event and a new landmark, the “Arc de Trump.” Social media users quickly noted the parallels between the proposed games and the fictional country of Panem’s deadly competition. Furthermore, the Trump administration’s board at the Kennedy Center has voted to rename the theater the “Trump-Kennedy Center.”
