WASHINGTON, DC: The White House on Thursday, September 3, rolled out a MAGA-themed online arcade packed with browser games.

They have taken classic arcade games and given them a twist; now the games center on things like immigration enforcement, health programs, and other priorities from the Trump administration.

Arcade games tied to Trump administration policies, from immigration to health

In one game, 'Rio Run', Tom Homan, the border czar, stands at the center of a snake-like grid. Players weave a trail of orange-jumpsuit figures behind him, undocumented immigrants, the game says.



Another game, 'Build The Wall', borrows from Tetris, letting you stack falling blocks to build a wall on the southern border. And then there's a twist on Flappy Bird, 'Flappy Bill', in which a bald eagle soars and dodges obstacles scattered around the National Mall.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's “Make America Healthy Again” movement got its own game as well. In 'Supply Line', players step into the ring as a boxer and knock away unhealthy foods.

A fifth game, 'Trump Savings Tycoon', resembling Duck Hunt, has players wielding a net to scoop up gold bars and cash in front of the Washington Monument, a reference to Trump Accounts, the savings program under which eligible children receive a $1,000 federal contribution.

“This administration is laser-focused on ways to innovate and tell the story of the president’s many accomplishments in a way that resonates with every American,” a White House official told Fox News Digital.



Part of a broader media push

“The president continues to rack up victory after victory on behalf of the American public, while opponents of his agenda are defending their record of raising taxes and empowering criminal illegal aliens,” the official continued.



“This is an effort to further contrast between a culture of fun and winning and the dark socialist vision Democrats have for America,” they noted. 

The arcade’s launch isn’t the administration’s first unusual media move lately. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and HHS Secretary RFK Jr both have their own TV shows now.

And, according to Fox News Digital, the administration has plans to bring Nicki Minaj and Dean Cain to Washington next month for a 'Shark Tank'-style event. Small businesses will get the chance to compete for a share of $1 million in prize money.



This video game launch is just the latest move in the administration’s push to use nontraditional media, social media, TV shows, and now interactive games, to get its policy messages in front of people who might not tune in to the usual news. The White House hasn’t said if more games are on the way.
