The year is 2025. President-for-life Trump watches the Hunger Games on Netflix for the first time and decides he wants to see it in real life. Which tribute do you place your bets on?
Hunger Games works in quite a dystopian setting that politicians in US wouldn’t allow; so I can see Trump being impeached immediately after this suggestion.
However, assuming that this isn’t implemented as a life-in stakes Battle Royale and instead as a sports event improved with Augmented Reality (all weapons are simulated, no real deaths); it could be a fun event to watch. I could see myself betting on athletic people.
I think the whole premise of the question is: trump somehow seized power and become the “supreme leader for life”, democracy is now dead, elections are a sham just like (russia/china/iran/your favorite autocratic nation), so this is exactly the kind of dystopian future where Hunger Games were set. He just made Trump be the ruler.
Dunno why you’re getting downvoted. This is a fun question.
I don’t know how to answer it but I guess I would have to bet with my heart and say we skip straight to the last chapter: Trump is toppled and replaced by some only slightly lesser evil who is at least forced to make some (temporary) pro-social concessions to the wider populace.
I was responding to your wondering about why this dumbass post was being downvoted by stating that The Hunger Games and talking about Trump is beyond exhausted and boring. I then supplied an equivalent question to OP’s but backdated the content about 40 years for comedic effect.
I suppose though the real and only proper response to you is:
