### 1/5 — Rename the department of Defense

*2025-09-08, version 1.2.2*

Trump signed an executive order, it’s now the department of war. And remove the education department too

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2025-07-11*

Teaches many kids on how hard it actually is to be president and the power the president has. I’m not a kid, although my social studies teacher did make us play this. It was actually quite a good time killer and also that burst in dopamine when you reach 100% approval. I could play this for a few hours straight but it makes you end the game after four in game years. So I wish you guys could let us run for another term, thanks!

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2025-06-24, version 1.2.2*

If you guys could add the ability to run for two terms that would be great!

### 5/5 — Everything

*2025-01-31, version 1.2.2*

It is certainly the best game ever and I really needs to be the #1game in the USA

### 5/5 — Its good but…

*2024-09-13, version 1.2.2*

There was this policy in one of the bills that said lAmerican Indian” it should say Indigenous American or Native.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2024-08-06, version 1.2.2*

Good game, but maybe you should add in a chance for a second term if your approval rate is high.

### 5/5 — I’m president!

*2024-04-24, version 1.2.2*

Best game!

### 2/5 — Not a good system

*2024-03-23, version 1.2.2*

Very low personal approval for this game because 1 the 8 years goes by in about 5 minutes or less so you need to scramble your presidential work in that low and frustrating time how about time it out for an hour and automatically pause time so we can do the tasks of our presidential work. 2 all the agentcies don’t help you go to the right agency to have the law finalized. 3 too many senete visits and deducts a great amount of time off. 4 why does it always say Angola wants war against the USA and just UN visits have weird newspapers it could be a great game but those things need to be fixed

### 4/5 — Great game

*2023-11-23, version 1.2.2*

I think you guys should come out with a new game where it’s like this combined with you win the White House game I would love to have a game where I can win the election then right after serve a 4 year term just like in real life then after that 4 year term it can go back to the win the White House like election game to I can see if I can win a 2nd term would really love to have a game like that from you guys I think it would be awesome I would also like more characters to choose from with more unique looks

### 3/5 — Wayyyy too fast

*2023-10-07, version 1.2.1*

In the game I’m constantly bombarded every second of a new law and they rush you badly to fly to whatever country for a treaty or smth, I just left the mailbox when it said I was neglecting it. I don’t even read what it says anymore without rushing to the airport just to attend in person and yes I’m aware I can let my secretary do it but again I couldn’t leave my mailbox without it telling me I’m being neglecting. But the laws come wayyyy too fast and I can’t even think for a second without a new law hitting me every second. I just can’t go back to this game at first it was fun and I was hoping to play more but this is ridiculous I get that presidents are pressured or busy 24/7 but come on… I have more freedom in tic tac toe 😕
