President Donald Trump announced plans to host a new sporting event called the Patriot Games, a four-day athletic competition scheduled for the fall of 2026 that will feature top high school athletes from across the United States. The Patriot Games, a part of larger celebration plans for the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026, will include “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.” In his announcement, Trump specifically stated, “I promise there will be no men playing in women’s sports. You’re not going to see that. You’ll see everything but that,” signalling that transgender athletes assigned male at birth would not be permitted to compete in women’s events at the Patriot Games. #PatriotGames #DonaldTrump #LGBTQIA #transgender #sports #USPolitics
