Trump’s Empire Has No Direct Involvement from the Big Man Himself

Trump’s Empire is a new Telegram game that promises an airdrop in exchange for a relatively small time investment, leveraging the name and likeness of a prominent right-wing figure—without his direct involvement.

This concept may sound familiar, as it mirrors last year’s rise of X Empire, an Elon Musk-themed Telegram game that gained significant attention but ultimately disappointed many with its airdrop.

While the X token on The Open Network briefly surged after Trump’s election win, it did not sustain its momentum.

Trump’s Empire, however, takes a more engaging approach.

Rather than simply tapping away, players build their business and political empire by making strategic choices, selecting upgrades, industries, and hires to boost their income.

Rising Telegram Crypto Game Trump’s Empire?

Trump’s Empire is a Telegram game that stands out from the usual offerings, bearing more resemblance to the popular Bitcoin Miner mobile game than other Telegram-based experiences.

Players begin with a construction company in their portfolio and, by pressing a button every few seconds, earn passive income.

As you accumulate wealth, the game allows you to automate your operations and diversify into other businesses.

The rapid progression and frequent upgrades keep players hooked, always promising just a bit more reward with every minute spent.

However, the game’s use of a cartoon likeness and the name of Donald Trump raises a significant legal question—much like how X Empire had to rebrand from Musk Empire due to potential legal challenges.

With Trump’s own official Solana meme coin and NFT collections already in play, it is possible that legal issues could arise here as well.

While the game has promised an upcoming token airdrop, details remain scarce.

Despite this, close to four million players are diving in, hoping for a payout when it arrives.

Vague Details Surround Trump’s Empire Airdrop

The latest roadmap for Trump’s Empire, released in mid-December, reveals that Telegram wallet integration is slated for February 2025, with airdrop and listing events expected in spring 2025.

However, details remain scarce, with no token name or specific dates provided.

A key update came in January when Telegram announced that all mini apps, including games, would now be required to deploy on The Open Network (TON), blocking other blockchain integrations after a 30-day transition period.

As a result, Trump’s Empire will launch its token on TON.

The game has stated that various factors, such as passive income rate, achievements, and earned in-game currency, will influence airdrop allocations.

However, the inclusion of paid boosts—like Telegram Stars spent and friends invited—has raised concerns.

Similar paid features in other Telegram games have sometimes been given more weight than non-monetary actions, leading to frustrations among players.

Only time will tell how these elements will affect the airdrop and the game’s overall reception.

And if the President himself will step in.

With that said, the latest post on 19 January about details of the game mentioned new boosters being added.
