Turn a poop shaped like Donald Trump into an ever-larger turd with this game


Evidently, plenty of people want to take shit-talking Donald Trump to the next level.


Trump Dump may not be anything close to high-brow political satire — but the crude mobile game combines The Donald, feces and Flappy Bird-inspired mechanics into a car wreck you can’t look away from.
