White House website debuts 5 low-res arcade video games that promote Trump's agenda
The retro-style games include border enforcement, school lunch and savings-account themes as the administration uses them to promote its policy agenda.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump's White House launched an official arcade website featuring five games with "MAGA" themes, including titles that task players with building a border wall and deporting migrants.
- This initiative aligns with the administration's strategy to circumvent traditional media, allowing officials to disseminate their narrative directly to the public without journalist questioning.
- Specific titles like "Build the Wall" task players with defending against a "coming horde," while "Rio Run" features border czar Tom Homan, drawing criticism from rights groups for dehumanizing migrants.
- The Tetris Company responded to the "Build the Wall" game, stating it "was not involved in the creation of 'Build the Wall'" and takes copyright infringement "very seriously."
- Adriana Jasso, program coordinator for AMIGOS San Diego Community, criticized the games as displaying a "lack of seriousness," arguing they reflect an administration intent on ridiculing migrants amid an aggressive deportation program.
