We take copyright infringement very seriously,\u201d the post continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Promotional content posted by the White House on social media also included images that resemble trademarks and designs from Microsoft-owned Xbox.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft did not respond to requests for comment, and the Sega Corporation couldn\u2019t immediately be reached.<\/p>\n<p>The White House released several games Thursday, with a placeholder that teased another one \u201ccoming soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The web-only games, which were published on the official White House website under a new page called \u201carcade,\u201d sparked condemnation for racist themes and prompted questions about potential copyright violations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In one clip, the letters from the Sega logo transform into MAGA, a term that stands for Make America Great Again, which President Trump turned into his campaign slogan during his first presidential run for the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>A game called \u201cFlappy Bill\u201d features a bald eagle carrying a document in its claws that tries to avoid smashing into columns of various heights, against a background that resembles Washington DC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration is laser focused on ways to innovate and tell the story of the President\u2019s many accomplishments in a way that resonates with every American,\u201d the White House said Thursday in a statement to AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Rights groups criticized the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMakes me sick. They\u2019ve been playing games with people\u2019s lives for years, now they\u2019ve made a video game of what they\u2019re doing,\u201d Amerika Garcia Grewal, co-director of the Frontera Federation in Eagle Pass, Texas, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no attention paid to the quality of life for human beings, both those in their game or those in real life. We who live in the borderlands are US citizens and yet are treated with suspicion and violence,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The game designers \u201chave lost touch with what it means to be human and care for others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump campaigned on a promise to expel millions of undocumented migrants and has taken several actions since returning to power aimed at speeding up deportations and reducing border crossings.<\/p>\n<p>His White House meanwhile has long used social media stunts to ram home its points and troll liberal opponents, and has sparked a backlash from several artists by using their music without permission.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is trying to convince voters that Trump\u2019s second presidential term has been successful ahead of the midterm election in November. The balance of power in Congress will also be at stake when Americans go to the polls in just over two months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
