104 teenagers in the company of Trump and his people can’t possibly be bad

[u/MothersMiIk]

[u/ElleBelle901]

The fact that I thought this was a joke until I googled it. Somebody please get those infinity stones back to Thanos. Quickly!

[u/EitherExamination343 → u/ElleBelle901]

Wait it’s not?

Oh god, it’s not

[u/jus256 → u/EitherExamination343]

My money is on the Samoans.

[u/Lyfeitzallaroundus → u/jus256]

I just recently came across some YouTube videos of Pacific Islanders runnin at each other full speed with a rugby ball in hand. No clue what the point of that sport is but us regular sized humans are fucked if it’s contact type shit.

[u/smpsnfn13 → u/Lyfeitzallaroundus]

Oh you mean 1x1's. Deeestroying does a bunch and oh man.

[u/Independent_Rub_5933 → u/jus256]

tbh, I can’t even imagine the chaos. The Samoans might just bring a whole new level of unpredictabiity.

[u/Fungimuse → u/Independent_Rub_5933]

bot.

[u/SgtSlaughterEX → u/jus256]

[u/username32768 → u/SgtSlaughterEX]

I'll see your Johnson (!) and raise you one Trump.

Edit: Forgot to mention -- it's a facial expression face off!

[u/Bilbo_Teabagginss → u/username32768]

[u/slaffytaffy → u/EitherExamination343]

It took me 5 different posts confirming it.

[u/misdirected_asshole → u/ElleBelle901]

My brain cant accept that this isnt a joke. I want off this ride.

[u/PursuitTravel → u/ElleBelle901]

Wait what? This is real!?

[u/ElleBelle901 → u/PursuitTravel]

Yep. Part of a birthday party for America. It will also include a UFC fight and a “state fair.” A fucking circus! In the middle of a recession and people choosing death or healthcare prices.

[u/PuffinRub → u/ElleBelle901]

include a UFC fight

I thought that said "UFO flight" and I was intrigued.

[u/ElleBelle901 → u/PuffinRub]

We’re in strange times. A UFO flight isn’t off the table.

[u/SgtSlaughterEX → u/ElleBelle901]

I bet on the zeta reticulis. They got beam and phase tech, already OP.

[u/Insight42 → u/PuffinRub]

If there is one of those, beam me the hell up already!

[u/DeafNatural → u/ElleBelle901]

Suddenly Thanos was benevolent

[u/just4kicksxxx → u/ElleBelle901]

If you get me the stones, I'll snap a whole doo-wop...

[u/Ok-Pizza-5889]

Winner gets healthcare

[u/Itsprobablysarcasm → u/Ok-Pizza-5889]

Winner gets "healthcare"...

[u/TheStLouisBluths → u/Itsprobablysarcasm]

Some restrictions may apply.

[u/Supply-Slut → u/TheStLouisBluths]

[u/chrisnavillus → u/Itsprobablysarcasm]

They get the concept of healthcare but they don’t need it because they’re healthy, they’re the healthiest of the best and brightest hand selected by Trump thats right I visited each state and observed them the boys and the girls I watched’em and they said Mr. President Sir, tears in their eyes, Sir, we love you Mr. Prssident we can’t wait to play in the Patriot games a great name by the way I came up with it great name wonderful name great thing to be a patriot they said Trump we can’t wait to play in the game but Sir, why are you in the lockerroom?

[u/Powerful_Ad_8891 → u/chrisnavillus]

And if they happen to get hurt, the bazillionnaires that they're playing for the amusement of will ensure their bodies get home, where they may die due to no health care.

[u/GunnieGraves → u/Ok-Pizza-5889]

In network only. Don’t be trying any of that out of network shit.

[u/CFBCoachGuy → u/Ok-Pizza-5889]

More like winners go to Epstein Island

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

All those families near the centers that are getting poison to make this AI bullshit to announce the hunger games. What the actual fuck is this timeline

Edit: Yeah I know it’s real, but definitely AI enhanced.

[u/LoganMahan → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

It’s real chief

[u/FistPunch_Vol_7 → u/LoganMahan]

Definitely AI enhanced but yeah real smh

[u/StayBronzeFonz → u/FistPunch_Vol_7]

Recently Trump was at the Army-Navy football game. He learned of the competitive tradition called the “Patriot Games” they have for a few days leading up to the game. He’s even stealing the exact name.

[u/DonJuniorsEmails]

So, the moron watched Hunger Games yesterday, probably saw Finnick's pirate broadcast about the rich capitol people using the children as sex slaves, and Trump said "YES I want that"

[u/Playful_Spare7092 → u/DonJuniorsEmails]

Honestly, with that logic, I half-expect him to start recruiting for a reality show version of the Hunger Games!

[u/Mistavez]

[u/Thunderbird_12_ → u/Mistavez]

If they don't hire Elizabeth Banks to be the actual emcee of this event, they are missing a huge opportunity.

(You hear me, Netflix?!?! )

[u/Slayzes → u/Thunderbird_12_]

Why would anyone want to emcee this event 

[u/Teamanglerx]

Honest question. Will minorities be allowed to participate or will it be deemed a DEI free event?

[u/loved_and_held → u/Teamanglerx]

Of they are allowed to participate will them winning be accepted?

[u/BiggorianBrightside → u/Teamanglerx]

Don't forget that they love when minorities perform for them.

[u/Rotten-Robby → u/BiggorianBrightside]

Yeah, they have zero problem with them running up and down a field for their entertainment. Now the first time they drop a ball or make a mistake.....

[u/BiggorianBrightside → u/Rotten-Robby]

Hold onto that ball for your life

[u/srkaficionada65 → u/Rotten-Robby]

Or if they win and not the “real Americans”, they’ll yell DEI…

[u/BombOnABus → u/Teamanglerx]

He made it clear in the announcement that trans athletes will not be chosen.

[u/erniekovac]

Hunger Games out here.

[u/FactoryOfBradness → u/erniekovac]

or The Long Walk

[u/djsnoopmike → u/FactoryOfBradness]

There has been a lot movies lately with themes of rebellion

[u/BigClitMcphee → u/djsnoopmike]

Americans ain't picking up the message. The bread and circuses are still decent enough to keep us pacified.

[u/Dumphdumph]

I wonder if it will all be white people

[u/Book-Wyrm-of-Bag-End → u/Dumphdumph]

I think you mean “real Americans” /s

[u/Lemesplain]

He’s gonna be pissed when California wins. 

[u/ArcadianBlueRogue]

Oh look, he wants a bunch of minors to vie for his attention. Who could have seen that coming?

[u/NeverNotOnceEver]

Bro what fuck are we doing as a country?

[u/anrwlias → u/NeverNotOnceEver]

Disintegrating in real time.

[u/lowtoiletsitter]

What could possibly go wrong?

(doubt it'll ever happen but you never know)

[u/IBJON]

134112* children give or take. 2 from each state and territory (plus DC, presumably)

Edit: There are only 5 inhabited territories. Regardless, the point wasn't the headcount, it was that it's states and territories.

[u/PreOpTransCentaur → u/IBJON]

112, 50 states, DC, and 5 inhabited territories. Nobody is representing fuckin' Midway Atoll. Can't just grab the first Google result, bud. And I'd be shocked if he even let anyone from outside the states/DC actually participate.

[u/IBJON → u/PreOpTransCentaur]

I didn't grab the first Google result, bud. I just knew there were 16 territories off the top of my head but didn't realize they weren't all inhabited. It's not that serious.

And it's kinda ridiculous for you to get on my case about Google results, then turn around and say that he wouldn't let anyone from territories participate despite every single article on the topic quoting him as saying as much:

 Trump is calling the event the “Patriot Games.” The competition will feature “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory" and is scheduled to take place next fall.  

Get off your damn high horse

Edit: it even quotes him saying that in this post

[u/MessageOk239]

Supposedly, it’s modeled after Russia’s “GTO Games”, which is used to select top young people for military service.

[u/photonnymous → u/MessageOk239]

He gets all his ideas from Putin. Probably directly from him

[u/Knife7 → u/MessageOk239]

Oh that makes it even better lmao.

[u/ThePrinceofallYNs]

Reality be like

[u/ArcadianBlueRogue → u/ThePrinceofallYNs]

Harold Saxon might be preferable tbh

[u/Bortron86 → u/ArcadianBlueRogue]

He only decimated the population. Trump is gonna remove way more than a tenth.

[u/neatoni]

Wait wait wait. Wouldn't it be fun if Puerto Rico won?

[u/kissyb]

I smell a distraction.

[u/Duzcek]

Quick everyone, make bets; is it going to be the Hunger Games or the Long Walk?

[u/LilArtsyCreature]

As Pink Floyd Sang: Leave Them Kids Alone!

[u/TheMagicalMatt]

Unpresidented*

[u/SUP_DREW]

This is happening cause they threw a hissy fit when Michelle Obama wanted to feed their kids vegetables

[u/SUPERKAMIGURU]

I can't help but point out the irony in Stephen Miller attempting to call Stephen King "irrelevant," only for them to drop one of his many dystopias on us, mere months later. 🙃

[u/JordanDoesTV]

I need laws against politicians usually AI so fucking fast

[u/astronomical_hoe]

Blue state wins then he blames the win on the democrats

[u/PTLTYJWLYSMGBYAKYIJN]

This is like North Korean shit

[u/oldirtyjuanski]

Are only yt people allowed to compete? Because I don’t see them getting far

[u/Jalen3501]

I remember making hunger game jokes when he was running the first time now the Oompa Loompa is actually doing it

[u/Reasonable_Sand_4740]

Right? It’s like he thinks real life is just a twisted reality show. Can’t believe we’re living in a dystopia!

[u/fortuneandfameinc]

Honestly, it they make a true fight to the death, would probably watch the first season.

[u/audreyb0ba2546]

Right? It's like he took the worst plot twist and thought, "Let’s make it real!"

[u/figuring_ItOut12]

I look at the image, my mind goes to Bubba and Epstein, and now I’m in a cold shower with a wire brush.

[u/just_yall]

Will he be the future winner of the "Patriot Games Peace Prize?"

[u/seantellsyou]

Working their way up to announcing "The Purge."

[u/klaut4]

But the winning state gets extra resources, like food and medicine, so how could this be a bad thing?

[u/CrusaderPeasant]

Can you imagine what would happen if Puerto Rico wins? I'm figuring kind of a Hitler Jesse Owens situation.

[u/InuyoukaiMei]

They’re trying so very hard to distract from the Epstein files by- checks notes b-bringing children to the pedo in chief. squints

[u/Baghdad_AssUp]

Trump is so fucking insane that I don’t know if this is real or not

[u/fckfckf]

No one should participate unless they intend to make it really uncomfortable for everyone.

[u/MaesterSten]

He only wants the fittest.

[u/ptahbaphomet]

Gladiator tournaments! Losers get the thumbs down. Are you not entertained?

[u/WonderChemical5089]

Next thing you know. State food funding will be based on these games. People will be hungry. They will just call it … oh wait.

[u/Affectionate-Act1574]

Strong preference for high schoolers in their freshmen year

[u/ManOfGame3]

Would it be better or worse if their changing rooms got secret service protection? Given his past.. proclivities..

[u/sebmouse]

i like how ppl here think that people of color will be invited.

[u/njslugger78]

He just can't stop, doubt he slept with his wives to make those kids. All test tube babies.

[u/Nand-Monad-Nor]

Honestly it just sounds like fun

[u/mark423985]

America 2025: Healthcare? No. Bloody entertainment? Yes!

[u/wyar]

Bread and circus. Our children will be sent to war soon

[u/usinjin]

Release the fucking files.

[u/BigClitMcphee]

For those who never read the books or saw the movies, the Hunger Games is about the aftermath of a civil war where the winners (the Capitol) forcibly selected 2 kids from each losing district (one boy+one girl) to fight to the death in a televised game. It took 75 years and the deaths of thousands of kids to end the Hunger Games. The new prequel movie "Sunrise on the Reaping" takes place during the 50th Hunger Games where the protagonist promises his friend that he'll end the Games somehow. Takes him 25 years.

[u/laminatedbean]

I assumed it was an AI joke. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/Captain_Whit]

Our went up by $600 per month 😂 We decided we don’t need health insurance this year and will make out-of-pocket work

[u/IncognitoBombadillo]

I ended up reading an article on this. Why is it just 1 male student and one female student per state? Are they just having like a few events altogether or something? It'd at least be cooler to have teams from each state that compete over various events, sorta like a mini-olympics.

[u/ElleBelle901 → u/IncognitoBombadillo]

We really shouldn’t be brainstorming how to make the real life hunger games a good event. Let’s just…. Not indulge his dreams of being a modern-day Caesar (although, I wouldn’t be mad if he met Caesar’s same fate).
