Trump attends Patriot Games finale after ‘slim’ turnout at another Freedom 250 event

Freedom 250 Patriot Games Donald Trump
  • Freedom 250, a White House-affiliated nonprofit group, reportedly bombarded supporters with urgent email blasts to fill empty seats for Tuesday night's finale of the Patriot Games in Geneva, Ohio , which President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend.
  • The three-day youth athletics competition features high school athletes aged 14 to 17 competing for a share of a $250,000 prize, though early reports described crowds as slim with stands appearing largely empty during outdoor events.
  • Ticket registration remained open on the Freedom 250 website as of Tuesday morning following "FINAL CALL" email blasts urging attendees to join President Donald J. Trump at the event.
  • Critics have likened the athletic event to The Hunger Games due to its format, which pits male and female competitors from different states, territories, and tribal nations against each other for a cash prize.
  • The competition was broadcast live on the ESPN app and will culminate in a one-hour primetime special featuring Trump airing Thursday on ABC.
