The piece transitions to trump&#8217;s childhood, noting his fondness for &#8220;monopoly&#8221; and building blocks, as confirmed by his mother, mary Trump, who depicted him as a resourceful child.<\/p>\n<p>The article humorously shifts to speculate on the favorite childhood games of prominent Democrats, inventing witty and satirical game titles that playfully critique their political personas. as an example, Joe Biden is attributed with a fictional game called &#8220;Illegal Alien Candy land,&#8221; while others, like AOC and Bernie Sanders, are humorously associated with games reflecting their political ideologies. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the piece, there is a blend of nostalgia, humor, and political commentary, providing a light-hearted examination of how childhood games can symbolize broader characteristics and values associated with both Trump and various Democratic figures.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>All mothers remember their child&rsquo;s favorite games. Some do so with relish, others not so much.<\/p>\n<p>My mom, as she will not tiring of telling anyone when the subject arises, is in the latter category. In my youth, my favorite game was a Nintendo cartridge called &ldquo;Tecmo Super Bowl,&rdquo; one of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/twitch-reverses-artistic-nudity-policy-after-backlash\/\" title=\"Twitch backtracks on &#039;artistic nudity&#039; rule due to criticism\">video games featuring<\/a> all (then) 28 NFL teams.<\/p>\n<p>The game didn&rsquo;t have a pause button, so if one of the players needed to go to the bathroom or attend to other things, you just simply wouldn&rsquo;t snap the ball and wait for the next play. The problem is that one of the showpieces of the game was that it had a digitized sound sample &mdash; a big deal in the days of the humble NES &mdash; of the quarterback saying &ldquo;HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT&rdquo; over and over again until you snapped the ball. The repetitive effect is not <em>quite<\/em> as soothing as one of those rain-sound loops people use to fall asleep, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GeuLtSYgAJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I&rsquo;ll give it that much<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These frequent pauses before the snap &mdash; and the concomitant sound sample repeating <em>ad nauseam<\/em> &mdash; led my mother to snap, to the point where she once hallucinated the sound in her dreams and stormed down the hallway, ready to upbraid me for playing Nintendo in the middle of the night, only to find me sound asleep and the TV off. Like I said: It&rsquo;ll leave an impression on parents, for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>At least in the case of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-announces-national-center-homeless-vets-paid-funds-previously-used-house-illegal-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Donald Trump<\/a>, his mom remembered vividly what he liked as a child &mdash; and it&rsquo;s a bit what you might expect.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>In 1992, she spoke on the subject to New York broadcasting legend Ernie Anastos, who hosted a national program called &ldquo;America Wants to Know&rdquo; for a time.

Just saying.)<\/p>\n<p>However, it&rsquo;s inarguably the two most Trumpy answers ever: Monopoly and building blocks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He played Monopoly &mdash; yes, indeed,&rdquo; Mary Trump said. &ldquo;He played with his brother; he played with Robert.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But, more than Monopoly, he played with building blocks,&rdquo; she added. &ldquo;<em>Always<\/em> with building blocks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fYZkgq9jras?si=CtO3X_5Gl-cVOVkD\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>There you have it: He built stuff and learned resource management, as his mom remembered.

My only disappointment is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biggest-1-day-stock-gain-dow-jones-history-trumps-4d-chess-pays-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4D chess<\/a> wasn&rsquo;t a thing back in the day, because it would&rsquo;ve been a hoot to add that to the pile, as well.<\/p>\n<p>She also noted that, while her son&rsquo;s empire was building and\/or contracting, depending on the circumstances, he always had time for a visit.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;He comes very often,&rdquo; Mary Trump said. &ldquo;At least once a week. He comes for dinner. He likes his mother&rsquo;s cooking.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, a dutiful son. Happy Mother&rsquo;s Day in Heaven, Mrs. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>It does make you wonder, however &mdash; what were Democrats&rsquo; favorite games as a child?<\/p>\n<p>Take Joe Biden. Perhaps he was into Lincoln Logs &mdash; as in, the actual ones the Lincoln family was using to build its log cabin back in the 19th century. He&rsquo;s not quite the manual labor guy, though &mdash; although he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-tells-story-big-mama-truck-driver-repeats-false-claim-drove-18-wheeler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">occasionally entertains fantasies of the sort<\/a> &mdash; so that&rsquo;s out of the question.<\/p>\n<p>Illegal Alien Candy Land? It&rsquo;s like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aoc-progressives-threaten-block-infrastructure-candyland-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Candy Land<\/a>, but once you cross the border &mdash; as in, the first move &mdash; you win, and you keep getting candy. Or ice cream. Double chocolate chip, probably.<\/p>\n<p>Or, Duck, Duck, Corn Pop. That&rsquo;s a little more dangerous &mdash; because as we know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oihV9yrZRHg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corn Pop was a bad dude<\/a>. So, once you get tapped, you get to chase Joe with a straight razor until he talks you down with a chain. This is clearly a game that happened.

See, those of you with short memories might not recall that Biden was pretty much at the top of the Democratic field in the 1988 primary sweepstakes until it was discovered he plagiarized a huge portion of a speech from then-British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock.

My mother, who frequently shares her thoughts on the matter, falls into the latter group. During my childhood, I loved a Nintendo game called &#8220;Tecmo Super Bowl,&#8221; which was among the first to feature all 28 NFL teams at that time. The game lacked a pause button, meaning if a player needed to step away for any reason, they simply had to refrain from snapping the ball until ready for the next play. A notable aspect of this game was its digitized sound clip of the quarterback repeatedly shouting &#8220;HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT&#8221; until you snapped the ball\u2014a sound that could become quite grating over time. These frequent pauses and repetitive sounds drove my mother to frustration; she once even dreamt about it and rushed down the hall ready to scold me for playing late at night\u2014only to find me fast asleep with the TV off. Such experiences certainly leave an impression on parents.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, President Donald Trump\u2019s mother has clear memories of his childhood favorites as well\u2014though they might be what you&#8217;d expect from him: Monopoly and building blocks. Mary Trump recounted how he played Monopoly with his brother Robert but spent even more time with building blocks.<\/p>\n<p>This paints a picture of him as someone who enjoyed constructing things and learning about resource management\u2014not exactly aligned with Democratic values! It would have been amusing if 4D chess had existed back then too.<\/p>\n<p>Mary also mentioned that despite his busy schedule in business or politics, he made it a point to visit her regularly for dinner because he enjoyed her cooking\u2014a testament to being a devoted son.<\/p>\n<p>This leads one to ponder what games Democrats might have favored in their youth.
