Trump's White House releases deportation video games
A game called Rio Run features a digital version of US border czar Tom Homan chasing migrants with different skin colors next to the Rio Grande river on the Mexican border. Another game based on Tetris is called Build the Wall. 'Protect the border from the coming horde,' the instructions say.
The White House has released a collection of video games called Arcade, which promote different aspects of President Donald Trump's agenda. The games include "Build the Wall", a Tetris-like game where the goal is to protect the border from a "coming horde", and "Rio Run", where a digital version of US border czar Tom Homan chases migrants with different skin colors next to the Rio Grande river on the Mexican border, according to Le Monde English.
Other games in the collection include "Supply Line", where food moves along an assembly line and players must reject items that don't meet "Make America Healthy Again" standards, and "Flappy Bill", where an eagle carries a bill across the National Mall. There is also "Trump Savings Tycoon", where players collect money flying through the air to "Fill your kids' Trump Accounts", as reported by the Associated Press.
The release of the games was announced on the White House website, but it is unclear what the purpose of the games is or who they are intended for. The games are low-resolution and appear to be simple, arcade-style games.
