Description: Mr Trump! Mr Trump! You have 5 minutes until your big speech. Don’t forget your To-Do List! The weight of the world rests in your tiny little hands. We created this game to poke political fun while also calling attention to serious issues. Frustrated with the election and how so many controversies seemed to pile up and be forgotten, the jokes in the game are intended to inspire outside research – for example, what’s with the hands circled in gold sharpie about? Are those real tweets he actually wrote? We are passionate about finding ways to engage our peers with our political system, and we thought a virtual reality game would be a novel, entertaining medium to learn more about the Republican candidate. That being said, Trump Simulator does not comment on everything and should not be taken too seriously, but rather to remind everyone there is nothing serious about Trump as a candidate.
Review: If you enjoy a bit of political satire and have whacked Mr Trump all you can in TrumPiñata maybe this will cheer you up. This game is a virtual job in which you will be playing as POTUS himself. You are given a list of things to do and a short amount of time to do it. It’s basic, it’s silly and you will have a laugh playing it, even if you did vote for Trump. Considering his surname means “fart” here in the UK we don’t need to laugh anymore at him than we already do, but it still made me smile a few times. It’s just £0.79 and all the games profits will go to support the refugee crisis at Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS). Give it a go if you think you might enjoy it! Or just leave it if politics are not your thing.
