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.

This is some dated ass boring bullshit. Who the fuck cares about the hunger games anymore also why are we still talking about Trump?

“It’s the Star War, who does president for life Nixon choose as his Luke Skywalker??”

The fuck is wrong with you?

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:

“The fuck is wrong with you?”

My bets on anyone willing to fight far-right fascist like Trump.

considering he’s perfectly willing to sacrifice the entire country …

Whoever has the best chance at breaking into the capital district and killing Trump. Next question.

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.

He might be impeached but not removed as Democrats won't control enough of the Senate to convict.

If Trump wins again, he is fully above the law.

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.
