Twenty years later, the former is president of the United States, the latter, his informal UFO ambassador--recently trusted with unreleased government files on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) to gauge how the public might handle what's inside. Here's what comes in stages.

Entertainment over policy? White House arcade games ignite backlash

Al Jazeera

The White House's unveiling of five arcade-style games on its website, each believed to be promoting a different policy of United States President Donald Trump's agenda, has ignited backlash, with critics accusing the administration of prioritising entertainment over addressing rising living costs and the ongoing war on Iran. Announced on Thursday, the games include "Build the Wall" where players run to capture little green figures before they reach a border wall; "Rio Run", a Snake-style game in which players gather border crossers along a fence; "Supply Line", in which players reject food items that fail to meet "Make America Healthy Again" standards; "Flappy Bill," a Flappy Bird-style game in which a bald eagle carries legislation over the National Mall; and "Trump Savings Tycoon", in which players catch flying cash and gold bars to "fill your kids' Trump Accounts," in reference to the administration's child savings programme. Rights groups have also criticised the administration for the gaming website. They've been playing games with people's lives for years, now they've made a video game of what they're doing," Amerika Garcia Grewal, co-director of the Frontera Federation in Eagle Pass, Texas, told AFP news agency. The game designers "have lost touch with what it means to be human and care for others".
