President Donald Trump has turned his immigration policies into a series of games, and some of them are already raising eyebrows. On the White House website, you can deport illegals or build a wall, and social media is responding.
Donald Trump has spent years making the border wall one of the biggest symbols of his political agenda. And once again, the White House has turned one of its major political priorities into games that visitors can play directly on its website.
The White House has released video games on its website. However, they are highly controversial. One of the games, called “Rio Run,” puts players along the Rio Grande, where they are told to “patrol the line” and “pick up every crosser in the lot.”
The goal? To catch as many people crossing the border as possible and earn a high score based on deportations.
The player is represented by an older white man wearing a blue tie, most likely being Trump. The people being caught appear in different skin tones, including Brown, Black, and White.
Trump administration releases new ‘Deportation’ video games
Once a player catches one of the “crossers,” the character suddenly appears wearing an orange jumpsuit and follows behind the player. However, that isn’t the only immigration-themed game.
A second game, “Build The Wall,” asks players to stack bricks while trying to “hold the line” against what it describes as a “zombie border siege.” Another challenges users to fill their “kids’ Trump accounts” by collecting diamonds and cash.
A fourth is called “Flappy Bill,” which appears to put a Trump spin on the popular Flappy Bird-style format. The goal is to fly a bald eagle down the National Mall, according to the White House Arcade page.
The arcade also includes “Supply Line.” This one moves away from the border and focuses on Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” message, where players are asked to sort school lunches
The White House also hints that more games could be coming, with a “Coming Soon” section promising that a new adventure awaits.
The White House account on X posted a video with the “Make America Great Again” logo. It was based on the logo of video game maker Sega. They also used the Xbox logo, which Microsoft owns.
“Tell the story of the President’s many accomplishments”
In a statement to AFP, the White House wrote, “This administration is laser-focused on ways to innovate and tell the story of the President’s many accomplishments in a way that resonates with every American. “This is an effort to further contrast between a culture of fun and winning and the dark socialist vision Democrats have for America.”
While some people have shared their high scores on the new arcade games, others are furious, questioning whether it is in Americans’ best interest.
With the war in Iran and the rising cost of living affecting millions of Americans, some say the games come at a very strange time.
Are we living in one of the deleted scenes in Idiocracy?” Republican Representative Thomas Massie wrote on X.
“The Trump Administration is becoming more and more unserious by the day,” another user wrote.
Social media users furious
“Tax dollars really went towards this? Why?” a third asked.
A fourth user wrote, I hope you guys get sued by these companies whose logos you’re ripping off. Using taxpayer money to fund shit like this is the reason you’re the bottom of the barrel when it comes to government. This is the reason America isn’t great, no matter how much you say it is.”
Glad to see our money is spent this way instead of doing actual shit for Americans. Cool. So much winning,” a fifth user said.
Read the [explicit] room. People want a better life, not this [explicit] distraction,” another wrote.
