The White House has begun utilizing artificial intelligence to produce various forms of digital media and interactive content for social media and official websites. In August 2026, the administration released an AI-generated video inspired by the ‘Game of Thrones’ television series. The clip featured a dynamic map of Washington, D.C., depicting the revitalization of landmarks such as the Capitol and the National World War II Memorial, concluding with the presidential desk depicted as an ‘Iron Throne’. By September 2026, the administration expanded its use of AI to release retro-style political games through a collection titled ‘Arcade. Gov’. Designed to promote the ‘America First’ agenda, the games include ‘Flappy Bill’, ‘Rio Run’, ‘Build the Wall: Zombie Border Siege’, ‘Supply Line’, and ‘Trump Savings Tycoon’. Kaelan Dorr, deputy assistant to the president and head of digital strategy, described the initiative as ‘policy you can interact with’. The launch has drawn scrutiny regarding intellectual property and ethics. Following a copyright warning from The Tetris Company, which stated, ‘We take copyright infringement very seriously’, the game ‘Build the Wall: Zombie Border ~~Siege’ was~~ Siege’—which featured mechanics resembling Tetris—was removed from the site. The Tetris Company further noted it believes in ‘the power of connection and bringing people together, not dividing them.’ The administration has also faced backlash for social media content, such as ‘The Legend of Trump: Make America Great Again’, which parodies the aesthetic of Nintendo’s ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’. Human rights organizations have condemned the gamification of deportations and arrests, arguing it trivializes human lives, while Democratic representatives have criticized the administration for prioritizing gaming over addressing economic issues.
