Even though the game has a mission to mock and insult Donald Trump, under the surface the game can still be seen as an effective tool to educate people about politics. The game first teaches the audience that Donald Trump shouldn't be trusted and therefore should think again about whether or not they should vote for him. The game has achieved this by implementing his most outrageous and discriminatory policies and comments within the game.
The game will also attract a younger demographic due to the nature of 8 bit gaming. They are easy to play with a vibrant with a simplistic design which is attractive for younger children. By playing the game they can begin to understand the characters and understand their personalities. Subsequently they will get to know them and begin to digest what has been said and the overall message, whether they understand it consciously or not.
Lastly the game introduces key figures throughout. People like the Pope, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Saunders, Mexicans and ISIS would be used throughout, which allows any user to become familiar about these key figures and again get to know them individually. As the game is trying to sabotage Donald Trump, it has the power to distort and change facts and opinions to favour his components, Hillary and Bernie to be shown in a good light. This aspect of persuasion and influence would turn the audience away from Trump and into the comforting arms of Hillary and ‘Feel the burn’ Bernie.
