• The White House website has launched a new section called “Arcade” featuring five video games.
• Each game is a retro-style clone that promotes aspects of President Donald Trump’s policies.
• The games include titles like “Build the Wall” and “Rio Run,” which focus on immigration.

The Trump White House added Arcade, a video game section with five playable, low-resolution video games to its official website Sept 3. Each game is reminiscent of a retro favorite and promotes aspects of President Donald Trump’s policies.

A “Tetris” clone asks you to “protect the border from the coming horde,” while a “Snake” knockoff lets you control someone in a suit, possibly White House Border Czar Tom Homan, to patrol the border along the Rio Grande. In others, players sort food on a conveyor belt to get rid of the unhealthy ones, catch money for Trump Savings Accounts, and fly a bald eagle down the National Mall.

Before the site launched, the White House social media accounts teased the games with a series of animations parodying Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation loading screens. The Sega logo appeared as “MAGA,” Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.

The Trump administration has become known for posting memes, cartoons, and AI-generated images to rile Democrats and promote Trump’s agenda.

What are the Trump games in Arcade?

Build the Wall (Tetris knockoff): In this 80’s-style falling block game, players attempt to drop blocks in the path of a stream of brightly colored, 16-bit immigrants coming over the “Southern Border.” “Stack bricks. Hold the line,” the game says. A failure gets you a “BORDER BREACHED” message.

Rio Run (Snake knockoff): Players control a white man in a suit who must intercept immigrants without crossing over his own path. When an immigrant is captured, they don an orange jumpsuit and begin following the man. At the end, players are informed of how many people they deported.

Supply Line (Tapper knockoff): Players must “sort the school lunch to Make America Healthy Again” by watching food moving past on a conveyor belt and punching off any items with seed oil, colouring (spelled the British way), additives, or that is sealed. “Bare rides. Treated comes off,” the game instructs. The unhealthy items can be spotted by their glowing, fluorescent colors and shiny appearance.

Flappy Bill (Flappy Bird knockoff): Players control a bald eagle carrying a piece of legislation across the National Mall, avoiding monuments and pillars.

Trump Savings Tycoon (multiple tycoon games): Players try to “fill your kids’ Trump accounts” by swinging a net to catch money, gold coins, and other items, a nod to the administration savings plan that offers $1,000 to every child born during Trump’s term. In the background, a construction crane can be seen amid the monuments.

Reaction to Trump games

Online, reaction is predictably mixed. Some users are cheering it on and posting their high scores, while others ask where the “losing Iran war” game is or why the administration is wasting time on games instead of addressing skyrocketing inflation and gas prices.

Others decried the callousness of the immigration deportation games.

“The president continues to rack up victory after victory on behalf of the American public, while opponents of his agenda are defending their record of raising taxes and empowering criminal illegal aliens,” a White House official told Fox News Digital. 

“This is an effort to further contrast between a culture of fun and winning and the dark socialist vision Democrats have for America.”
