I really like some of your comments but most of them are too hard to read and understand what you are trying to say, it would be better if you would make them more clear.

da vinci > di caprio

I don't think there would be much of an international market for a game about Trump and current US politics, seen from the outside the passion and the hate of both political camps in the US is hard to identify with.

You mean address them directly, with specific cases being put in the game, or more like a general / generic games that doesn't, well, name names or use easily identifiable real-world cases, locations, etc.?

Trump is disliked and seen as a vulgar asshole, but I don't think that many people outside the US care about this whole "Russia stole the election, Trump is a Siberian candidate" story, which seems rather far-fetched.
Personally I think it's quite dangerous how US liberals and some Republicans are whipping up anti-Russian hysteria, that could lead to very dangerous tensions (Russia still is a major nuclear weapons state after all). So I don't hope there'll be many anti-Russian games.
A Trump sex game might be interesting though.

Sharp Lee.. Is he more of a ripper or a calculator guy? I think there will be games based on Trump and that weird rocket kid from Korea. It's a perfect scenario for video games. On one day you have two ... "very special" presidents (or whatever the korean dude is) who threaten each other with their nuclear weapons and the next day you read the news that Trump and rocket kid had a nice chat and want to meet to have some coffee and cookies together. That's the perfect stuff for spec ops or espionage games. I have no idea if this'd be "meaningful" though.

There's a quantity of gimmicky cheap trump-based games, they sell pretty well. Like, stick a trump in it and get edgy. One is a parodic trump-body-guard simulator, another is a surgeon simulator dlc, it's that kind. Such goat-sim cashgrab don't easily pass the gog curation, though.

Then there's all the Civ games, which basically end the way our planet ends (with pollution-driven temperature increase, which is the fate that trump has decided for all of us because of the system of exchanges that humans use which is based on symbolic currencies which accelerated hoarding is more fun than planetary survival).

Then there's Papers Please, which takes border bureaucracy to an extreme.

Then there's Far Cry 5, which takes place in the USA and pit you against christian fundamentalist rednecks of some sort.

And then there's all of ww2 games that involve countries driven by autocratic, nationalist, militaristic regimes pretty hostile to minorities.

Then there's various election-based videogames, from Democracy 3 to Political Animals.

Then there's all the RPGs touching on racism through the very clumsy and counter-productive allegory of elves/dwarves/human species (which, well, are species, and do show deterministic features in universe, so, well played guys).

Then there's all the games about evolutions that attempt to illustrate natural selection but, because they are games, and you are a player, end up as intelligent design simulators.

And then there's the winkwink jokes of various adventure games, I suppose.

And then... oh, I must be forgetting about one or two hundreds other genres.

Do Civil War-era wargames count ?

Way harder than it looks. Vaguely reminds me of Surgeon Simulator which of course has, or used to have, a trump DLC.

Damn, you reminded me of Pterry:
"Racism was not a problem on the Discworld, because—what with trolls and dwarfs and so on—speciesism was more interesting. Black and white lived in perfect harmony and ganged up on green."

:(

Lee was Lincoln's first choice to lead the Union Army.

Needles to say, he declined.
