Trump Run is a simple running adventure game that features the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald Trump. The game is a parody on the obstacles faced by Trump on his way to the presidential house. Players are required to steer him away from obstacles and safely escort him to his destination. This guide will explain all the basic gameplay mechanics that are imperative to learn if you’re a beginner. Let’s begin!

Understanding the Basic Gameplay Mechanics of Trump Run

In Trump Run, your goal is to run as far as possible while avoiding various obstacles and collecting cats along the way. The game gets progressively harder as you advance, with obstacles becoming more frequent and challenging to navigate. As you progress each time in any location, you will accumulate high scores and cats. Cats are the main currency used to purchase skins, power-ups, and locations in the game. They can be purchased after you exit the game. Your goal is to simply complete each level, or at least get the highest score possible.  Check out our tips and tricks guide that can help you achieve higher scores, maximize resource gains, and improve your overall experience in the game.

After you complete the level, you will be brought back to the start screen where you will be able to customize your character with different skins, or change the location of the run. Coming to the controls, they are quite simple, as expected from a casual game. Players only need to “Jump” by tapping on the screen to avoid getting hit by obstacles. The jumps need to be timed effectively or else you might jump too high and land right at the obstacle. A bit of practice will go a long way in such games. 

Cats and their Uses

Like we mentioned before, cats are going to be the main currency that will be used abundantly in the Trump Run. You can get more cats either by simply playing the game and collecting them on your runs, or by directly purchasing them via in-game microtransactions. There are several things you can purchase with cats, such as:

  • Power-ups
  • Skins
  • Levels

Tips to Get a Better High Score

While Trump Run is a one-directional game, it can be quite tough for new players to stay focused and complete the run without hitting obstacles. There are several obstacles such as spiked needles, undead hands, and more. Players will need to practice a lot to get better at their runs. Here are some tips to help you get the next best score on your run:

Stay Focused: As the game speeds up, it’s easy to make mistakes. Focus on one task at a time, whether it’s dodging obstacles or collecting cats.

Buy more Power-ups: For those unaware, you can buy multiple copies of the same power-up to help you get the maximum use out of them. Keep in mind, once bought, these power-ups will only remain active for a single run. Players can stack them together to forge a strong character with multiple advantages.

Practice Timing: The more you practice, the better you’ll get at judging distances and timing your swipes. As you improve, you’ll find it easier to navigate tricky sections and avoid obstacles.

Playing Trump Run on a bigger screen of your PC or Laptop with BlueStacks is highly recommended.
