  "summary": "The Trump administration has launched a new online arcade on its website, arcade.gov, featuring several games that are clones of classic titles with themes promoting Trump’s policies. One of the games, \"Build the Wall: Zombie Border Siege\", is a Tetris-like game where players aim to protect the border from a horde of zombies.\n\nThe game has drawn criticism from the team behind Tetris, who have responded with a statement saying they take copyright infringement \"very seriously\". According to Mashable, Tetris also stated that they believe in the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them. The Tetris Company was not involved in the creation of \"Build the Wall\".\n\nThe online arcade features several other games, including a deportation-themed Snake clone and a Flappy Bird-like game called \"Flappy Bill\". The games have been met with criticism, with some describing them as racist and repugnant.",
