What Is Trump's Empire?

Trump's Empire is a Telegram-based crypto game that lets players build their business and political empire while earning towards a future token airdrop. Following in the footsteps of similar games like X Empire (formerly Musk Empire), Trump's Empire offers a more robust gameplay experience that goes beyond simple tapping mechanics.

The game features a cartoon likeness of Donald Trump and uses his name—likely without official licensing—which makes its timing particularly relevant given Trump's return to the White House and recent Solana meme coin launch. With millions of players already participating in hopes of a substantial airdrop, the game has quickly gained popularity in the Telegram crypto gaming space.

Getting Started with Trump's Empire

Unlike many tap-based Telegram games, Trump's Empire offers a more strategic experience:

  1. Starting Out: You begin with a construction company in your portfolio.
  2. Initial Mechanics: Every few seconds, you'll press a button to generate passive income.
  3. Automation: As you earn money, you can hire managers to automate the button-pressing process.
  4. Expansion: Invest your earnings in other businesses or political campaigns.
  5. Empire Building: Eventually, you'll build a thriving business and political empire generating passive income even when the game is closed.

The game's polished interface and quicker pace of earnings make it more engaging than many other Telegram crypto games, keeping players hooked as they watch their virtual empire grow.

What We Know about the Airdrop

As of April 2025, the airdrop and token listing are expected "soon," with the developers having already offered a TRUMPE token presale to early investors. Here's what we know:

  • The TRUMPE token will be minted on The Open Network (TON), the exclusive blockchain for Telegram mini apps.
  • Trump's Empire added TON wallet connectivity in late March, preparing for the upcoming token launch.
  • The airdrop allocation will consider various factors:
    • Passive income rate
    • Completed achievements
    • Earned in-game currency
    • Paid boosts
    • Social interactions (friends invited)
    • Telegram Stars spent

While the exact timing remains vague, players can continue building their empires and maximizing their potential airdrop allocations through continued gameplay.

Pro Tips to Maximize Your Earnings

To get the most out of Trump's Empire and potentially increase your airdrop allocation, follow these strategic tips:

1. Always Close the Game Properly

This is critical: if you close the Telegram app while the Trump's Empire mini app is still open, you'll earn nothing while away. Always exit the Trump's Empire game before closing Telegram to guarantee you continue earning passive income.

2. Hire Managers Immediately

As soon as you can afford them, hire managers for each business. They automate income generation and quickly pay for themselves through increased earnings.

3. Look for Hidden Scaling Upgrades

In the upgrades menu, you'll find 3x multiplier upgrades that can be purchased with in-game currency. These provide percentage-based boosts that scale with your earnings, making them extremely valuable as your empire grows.

4. Strategic Resets

After building up your empire, you'll gain the option to reset your progress in exchange for investor tokens. Each investor token grants a 2% profit bonus, significantly boosting your earning potential. Time these resets strategically—the longer you wait (to a point), the more investor tokens you can earn.

5. Use STARS for Long-term Growth

You'll earn in-game STARS for inviting friends and completing social tasks. Consider spending these on Climbtokens (providing a 7.77x boost to business efforts) rather than one-time cash infusions for better long-term returns.

Expanding Your Empire - Additional Worlds

A few months after its initial launch, Trump's Empire expanded with two additional themed worlds:

  1. Trump President: A political-themed variation with identical core gameplay.
  2. Trump Businessman: Another spin on the formula focusing on Trump's business ventures.

These worlds can be unlocked with in-game currency and provide additional ways to earn ahead of the airdrop. While the gameplay mechanics remain identical to the main experience, playing these additional worlds may factor into your overall airdrop allocation.

Strategic Considerations

Trump's Empire evolves from a simple tapping game into a strategic investment simulator. Key decisions include:

  • Whether to level up lower-tier businesses for steady income or invest in higher-tier ventures with larger but slower payouts
  • When to reset your progress for investor tokens
  • How to balance your investments across the different available worlds
  • Whether to spend real money on boosts (keeping in mind this may affect airdrop allocation)

Conclusion

Trump's Empire represents the evolution of Telegram crypto games, offering more engaging gameplay and strategic depth than many of its predecessors. While the game's unofficial connection to Donald Trump and vague airdrop timeline may raise questions, millions of players continue building their virtual empires in hopes of a rewarding token allocation.

Remember to always properly close the game, strategically time your resets, and explore all available worlds to get the most from your Trump's Empire experience!
