Politics, memes, and cryptocurrency are coming together in strange ways. The newest example is “Trump Billionaires Club,” a smartphone game that is part of the TRUMP memecoin ecosystem. The game was announced in early December 2025 and is set to come out on the Apple App Store by the end of the month, possibly as early as December 30. There is also a web version in the works.
Freedom 45 Games worked with entrepreneur Bill Zanker, who has worked on other Trump-branded NFT and memecoin ventures, to make the game. The goal is to get people interested in the TRUMP token again while giving players a mix of tactical games and crypto incentives. This launch comes at a time when there is a lot of digital entertainment connected to celebrities, but it also makes people wonder how long it will last in a market where anticipation often outpaces usefulness.
The main idea of the game comes from old board games like Monopoly. Players roll dice to get properties, develop empires, and move up the leaderboards in a stylized 3D New York. You can use real money, regular cryptocurrencies, or TRUMP tokens to buy things in the game and level up. This makes the memecoin a native currency.
Players can acquire and exchange limited-edition Trump-themed NFTs, such statues and pins, that they can use to complete objectives, get upgrades, and get an edge in competitions. The producers stress the game’s entertainment value and make it plain that Donald Trump, his family, or any political groups are not involved in making, distributing, or endorsing the game. The official site says, “It’s just for fun and enjoyment,” which makes it clear that it has nothing to do with investing or political campaigns.
Gameplay and Crypto Integration: Trump Billionaires Club is a play-to-earn game for mobile users that mixes light strategy with crypto mechanics. In early trials, players may see a colorful digital metropolis where rolling dice decides where to go, landing on spots that give them money for building or set off events. NFTs make things more interesting: Trading rare collectibles makes an in-game economy, and they also provide you perks. The Open Loot architecture makes it easy to handle NFTs, so players can mint, trade, or use assets on any platform that accepts them.
Funding possibilities are available for both people who are new to crypto and those who have been using it for a while: You can load accounts with regular payment methods, any cryptocurrency, or TRUMP tokens in particular. This flexibility makes things easier, which could bring in Trump supporters who don’t know how to use wallets. There are already rewards for being active before the launch, like a $1 million TRUMP token prize pool for the best players on the leaderboard, which can be earned by creating an account, holding TRUMP, and referring others. This airdrop system is similar to how successful Telegram games like Hamster Kombat work. Its goal is to get the community growing before the game comes out.
Bill Zanker, who started Freedom 45 Games and worked on prior Trump NFTs, is in charge of development. His involvement gives the project more credibility among people who support Trump, even though it is run separately. “We’re making a fun experience for fans,” Zanker said in promotional materials. This emphasized the game’s focus on themes of wealth-building that fit with Trump’s brand.
The TRUMP Memecoin’s Problems and Hopes for a Comeback
The timing of the game is not by chance: TRUMP, which started just days before Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, quickly grew to a market cap of $14.5 billion, with prices over $73. The rise was fueled by political momentum and celebrity endorsements, but reality set in soon. By the end of 2025, the token had dropped more than 92%, trading at about $5.90 with a market cap of less than $1.2 billion. This is a typical memecoin pattern of pump, dump, and holders who are still hoping for a resurrection.
People in the community have different opinions. Fans of the game see it as a useful tool that can use tokens to buy things in the game or stake them for prizes. “Finally, a real use case beyond holding,” one X user wrote. Others, meanwhile, see it as just another hype cycle. “Just another way to dump on retail,” one person said. After the announcement, the token witnessed a little 3–4% rise, but that rapidly vanished. This shows how hard it is to keep up momentum when the market is down.
Memecoin games have a mixed history; for example, Hamster Kombat airdropped billions in 2024 but plummeted when it was listed. However, games like Notcoin that are pleasant to play show that they can keep players. The Trump Billionaires Club’s licensed branding and NFT focus could set it apart, especially among customers who share its political views.
Legal and Moral Issues
The project is under a lot of criticism. They are allowed to utilize Trump’s name and likeness, but they keep saying that they are not directly connected to him, which protects them from campaign funding restrictions. In the past, Democratic legislators had called for investigations against Trump-linked cryptocurrencies for conflicts, but nothing happened in 2025. Apple’s App Store approval, which is expected on December 30, means that the app follows rules against open gambling and unregulated finance.
NFTs in games are called “for enjoyment only” collectibles, not investments, hence they don’t fall within the definition of securities. Buying with real money or cryptocurrency keeps it open to everyone, but critics say that predatory mechanics are targeting fans. Developers say, “It’s not a way to get rich; it’s entertainment.”
The Market and its Possible Effects
Since the pinnacle of Axie Infinity in 2022, crypto gaming has slowed off, but mobile P2E is still popular in new markets. The game might get thousands of players with $1 million in pre-launch prizes and Trump branding. This would burn TRUMP supplies and make the game more visible. If it has even 100,000 daily users, the in-app economies might create a lot of demand for tokens.
This is a test of usefulness for the memecoin industry, which is down 70% from its 2025 highs. If the game is a success, it could lead to more celebrity games like it. If it fails, it will support “rug pull” stories. With a $3.8 trillion market valuation, broader crypto is keeping an eye on things: Political tokens like TRUMP are linked to mood, and Trump’s support for crypto (through the GENIUS Act) helps them along.
Conclusion
The Trump Billionaires Club will open in late December 2025. It will mix nostalgia, strategy, and crypto prizes to try to bring the failing TRUMP memecoin back to life. It aims to entertain fans who are tired of the political climate by offering NFT trading, a $1 million airdrop, and easy access to funds. But the token’s 92% decrease lowers expectations—utility must deliver to keep people interested.
This licensed game investigates whether branding alone can bring back memes in a market that is getting older, or if real involvement is needed. For players, it’s a fun way to win money; for investors, it’s a risky wager. As the App Store approval date gets closer, the billionaires’ race begins. After the launch, keep an eye on the volume to see how much of an influence it has.
