Trump's White House North Portico project nears completion with shroud and scaffolding removed

Trump's White House North Portico project nears completion with shroud and scaffolding removed

The White House has removed a game called "Build the Wall" from its online arcade just four days after it was launched. The game, which was subtitled "Zombie Border Siege," instructed players to protect the border from an incoming wave. The Tetris Company, the creator of the popular Tetris franchise, stated that they had no involvement in the development of "Build the Wall" and did not authorize the use of their intellectual property.

The company expressed concern over copyright infringement and is currently reviewing the situation. The removal of the game follows criticism over its perceived racist themes and potential copyright violations. The arcade, launched on the White House website on Thursday, had attracted backlash before its games were taken down. The White House maintained that they were committed to innovative storytelling that resonates with all Americans, despite the controversy surrounding the game's removal. President Trump had previously campaigned on a promise to deport millions of undocumented migrants.
