The White House has released a series of online games titled "Arcade" that focus on the policies of US President Donald Trump. The games feature a roughly pixelated design reminiscent of classic video games that were popular in arcades.

Among the games offered are two that deal with policies on illegal immigration and securing the border with Mexico. Players take on the role of a border officer tasked with deporting migrants.

Another notable element in the games is a virtual eagle that flies over the National Mall, visually incorporating elements of the US government. The games are designed to reflect the central themes of current US politics.

According to reports, the presentation aims to engage a younger audience and convey content in a playful manner. The use of gamification is intended to connect users' experiences with the political topic.

The development of the games represents a remarkable fusion of digital entertainment and political content. The government is actively influencing the digital portrayal of its policies and seeking new ways to communicate its messages.
