"From June 25 to July 10 of next year, we will host the great American state fair on the National Mall, featuring pavilions from all 50 states, highlighting breathtaking innovations and celebrating America's exceptional history and culture, Trump said. In the fall, the president added, there will be a four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes, one young man and one young woman from each state and territory, called the Patriot Games."
"While MAGA fans celebrated the first-ever Patriot Games, many critics on social media compared the president's announcement about young athletes representing different states and territories to the plot of Hunger Games, a dystopian tale where two teenagers (a boy and girl) are chosen from different districts to battle to the death until one survivor remains. Author Suzanne Collins published the first Hunger Games novel in 2008, and a film adaptation was released in 2012, kicking off a still-running franchise."
President Donald Trump announced Freedom 250, a celebration of America's 250th birthday set for July 4, 2026.

The fall schedule will include a four-day athletic event called the Patriot Games featuring the greatest high school athletes, one young man and one young woman from each state and territory. Social media users compared the Patriot Games format to The Hunger Games dystopian plot, prompting criticism, while supporters celebrated the new competition and festivities.
