A mobile game themed around Donald Trump, developed by Bill Zanker, a key figure in the launch of the official Trump memecoin and various NFT collections, is reportedly scheduled for release on the Apple App Store before the end of the year.
The game, created by Freedom 45 Games, utilizes Trump’s name under a licensing agreement and is directly connected to the Trump Coin. The Apple App Store lists an expected release date of December 30, and the app is currently available for pre-registration.
Bill Zanker was previously associated with a project in April that combined gaming and cryptocurrency elements, reportedly featuring similarities to MONOPOLY GO. However, at that time, a spokesperson denied any resemblance to Monopoly.
According to the game’s website, players can fund their game accounts using cash, cryptocurrency, or TRUMP Coin. The site also mentions the trading of non-fungible token statues and pins that can be integrated into gameplay.
A disclaimer on the game's platform states that it is not designed, manufactured, or distributed by U.S. President Donald Trump or any of his associated businesses or affiliates.
The developers of Trump Billionaires Club did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump Game Incorporates Cryptocurrency Features
A demo of Trump Billionaires Club available on its website showcases a digital representation of New York. Players appear to navigate a Monopoly-style game board, using dice rolls to move and earn funds for constructions and other in-game activities.
The game also plans to conduct an airdrop of Trump tokens to players who achieve the highest scores before the official launch. These points can be earned by opening an account, holding TRUMP Coin, and referring new users to the project.
Trump Memecoin Experiences Significant Decline
The upcoming Trump-themed crypto game emerges during a period of significant challenges for holders of Trump’s memecoin.
The Official Trump memecoin, launched shortly before Donald Trump’s inauguration, reached an all-time high of over $73 a day after its debut, with its market value exceeding $14.5 billion. However, as of Wednesday, its value has fallen by over 92% to trade at $5.89, according to CoinGecko data. Since the announcement of the game, the token has seen a 3.4% increase in value over the last 24 hours.
Under the game's disclaimer, the digital collectibles are designated for "enjoyment only" and not for "investment purposes." They are also explicitly stated to be unconnected to "any political campaign."
Trump's cryptocurrency ventures, including those bearing his name, have attracted scrutiny from Democrat lawmakers in the U.S. These lawmakers have previously requested investigations from financial regulators and the government ethics office concerning these activities.
