Goodbye, Build the Wall. The Tetris-style game that the US government had stuck on the White House website as a way of promoting the Trump administration's commitment to brutalising and persecuting immigrants in the name of securing borders.

The US government has removed a Tetris-style game called Build the Wall from its White House website. The game was part of an attempt to promote the Trump administration's stance on border control and immigration. The Tetris Company has expressed its commitment to not dividing people, but have also made it clear that they take copyright infringement very seriously.
Following this, the game has been replaced by a 404 error message. The White House website now features parody games such as Flappy Bill, Rio Run, Supply Line, and Trump Savings Tycoon. There is also a placeholder for a mystery game, but no Build the Wall is currently available. The Tetris Company has distanced themselves from the game, stating that they had no involvement in its creation and that they take copyright infringement very seriously.
