Playing favorites isn’t just for moms. It’s woven into the very fabric of who we are. So it’s no surprise that Donald Trump, while a master at dominating the political game, was once just a kid with a passion for classics like Monopoly and building blocks. It makes perfect sense. He was laying down the foundations of his future empire while other kids were busy complaining about homework. His childhood preferences reflect an early knack for strategy and construction—a clear indicator of the mogul he would become. And let’s face it: Trump’s life itself has been one big Monopoly game, where he’s collected hotels, avoided jail (despite the witch hunts), and always made his way back to “Go.”
Now let’s contrast that with the liberal left. Imagine if a famous liberal figure were to have their childhood fantasies scrutinized. Would Joe Biden’s games involve sticking to the rules? Or would he prefer something where a loophole could get you ahead? Perhaps his kiddie playground reverie would include games like Plagiarism & Ladders, climbing up the success ladder only to slip back down when dishonesty inevitably catches him out, like his scandalous stumbles in the ’80s.

And what about the others? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might delight in a modified version of SimCity that suspends fiscal responsibility, refusing to let reality intrude on her utopian fantasies. Her plans often disregard economic damage, just like a highly anticipated video game that lets you rack up debt with the push of a button. Bernie Sanders probably has fond memories of games where you take from the rich and give to everyone else—Grand Theft Everything, if you will. Because why earn when you can just redistribute?
Even when it comes to leisure, the stark contrast between those who cherish real achievement and those who would rather play pretend is obvious. Trump showed early signs of a leader who values building something substantial. In the realm of kiddie games, that’s a metaphor for grit, determination, and foresight. In today’s world, we need more leaders who have learned their lessons not from a how-to manual on political loopholes, but from real-life scenarios that test the mettle and perseverance. Wouldn’t our nation be far better off if more folks were like the Donald?
So, while Democrats may have constructed their empires on Jenga-like foundations that seem to tilt and sway with every breeze, isn’t it clear that the right game—whether it involves blocks or life itself—should be grounded in reality? What if the liberals started teaching their kids games that inspire real results and personal accountability? But then again, where would be the fun in that?
