🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Even the White House can't resist cloning a classic, but the Tetris Company's swift legal response proves they guard their IP with military precision.
💡 Why it matters
This incident sets a precedent for government entities navigating copyright law when creating promotional games.

The Trump administration created a Tetris clone called 'Build the Wall' and hosted it on the White House website. The Tetris Company issued a copyright infringement complaint, forcing the game's removal.
