- The White House posted promotional videos on X for Trump Arcade, a collection of games based on administration policies involving immigration, savings and school meals.

- The games are hosted on the official U.S. government website, which says more titles will be added.
The White House has turned several Trump administration policies into arcade games, promoting them through videos posted on X. The collection, called “Trump Arcade,” includes at least five games hosted on the official U.S. government website.
The promotional video opens with a design inspired by Japanese video-game company SEGA. The letters are changed to “MAGA,” referring to Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.
One game adapts the 1980s classic Tetris to simulate construction of the border wall with Mexico. Another reworks Snake by replacing the growing snake with a judge who captures migrants for deportation.
A Flappy Bird-style game features a bald eagle flying beneath the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Players must keep the bird airborne while avoiding collisions with the monuments’ castles. Other games ask players to punch foods outside a healthy student diet and to catch savings-related objects in a basket to increase a score representing money. The latter reflects the administration’s promotion of Trump savings accounts, intended to help children fund higher education. The website says additional games will be added.
