The White House created and published an anti-immigration-themed Tetris clone called 'Build the Wall,' which was quickly removed after The Tetris Company threatened copyright action. The game asked players to stack blocks to stop 'zombie' migrants at the southern border, but lines never cleared, making gameplay trivial and the outcome ironic. Other Trump-era arcade games like Flappy Bird and Snake variants remain on the site.
Background
