White House website debuts 5 retro arcade video games that promote Trump's agenda

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House website has unveiled Arcade, a collection of five low-resolution video games that promote different aspects of President Donald Trump’s agenda. “Build the Wall” is a “Tetris” knockoff that transforms the classic game into an effort to “Protect the border from the coming horde.” In "Rio Run,” which resembles the mobile favorite “Snake,” an icon resembling Trump runs around gathering potential border crossers. In “Supply Line,” food moves along an assembly line and you must reject items that don’t meet “Make America Healthy Again” standards. Two of the games, “Flappy Bill” and “Trump Savings Tycoon,” take place over the skies of the nation’s capital.
