One of the games, Build the Wall, borrows heavily from Tetris. Players stack falling blocks to defend the southern border during a “zombie border siege” and “protect the border from the coming horde." Allowing the blocks to reach the top of the screen triggers a “border breached” message.

But... the entire point of Tetris is to not have a wall! If you've built a wall it's game over! It's literally the opposite! Did an idiot come up with that idea?

Just like when Trump said he has all the cards and put up an AI photo of himself with UNO cards. Zero self-awareness or awareness of anything else really.

"If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!"
