White House 'Arcade' Invites Players to 'Build the Wall' and 'Fill a Trump Account'

The White House launched a series of arcade-style video games promoting Trump’s immigration and economic policies.

The White House website on Thursday launched a series of arcade-style video games promoting President Donald Trump’s agenda. In “Rio Run,” a spin on the decades-old game Snake, players can gather and deport migrants along the Rio Grande. Other games include “Supply Line,” where players sort out school lunch items to “Make America Healthy Again,” and “Flappy Bill,” where players fly a bald eagle carrying legislation over the National Mall in the style of popular mobile game Flappy Bird.

TIME has reached out to the White House for comment. Kaelan Dorr, a deputy assistant to the President and head of digital strategy, referred to the games as “policy you can interact with.” The video games are the latest effort by the Trump Administration to use the Internet and pop culture to promote its policies. Across its social media accounts, the White House has posted AI-generated content and political memes, as well as mocked its critics online.

The strategy has drawn criticism, with artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo condemning the Administration’s use of their music in videos pushing its agenda. The “Arcade” has drawn backlash from rights groups, who argue it gamifies mass deportations and trivializes human suffering. Democratic lawmakers argued that the games reflect the White House’s misplaced priorities, especially as the U.S. war against Iran has driven up household inflation and fuel costs for Americans.
