The fiercely fought battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton has been one of the most bitter US presidential contests ever.

Clinton has been dogged by controversies around her emails while Trump has been criticised for controversial statements both during the election and comments from his past coming back to haunt him.

Trump has been such a popular, controversial and divisive figure in the election that he has often become the centre of attention in each debate he's taken part in.

Such has been his fame during the election race, numerous games developers have released hundreds of games using his name. A search for Donald Trump on App Annie returns 600 results, while a search for Hillary Clinton returns a paltry 313 results in comparison.

The quirky mobile games vary in quality, and many were clearly released as a quick cash-in or, more generally, for fun.

But have any of these games gained real traction amongst mobile users?

The winners

Games like Jrump, Trump Dump, Trump's Wall - Build it Huuuge garnered much press attention upon their releases.

Possibly the most successful Donald Trump game has been the Flappy Bird-like Trump Dump, which uses the exact kind of imagery its name would suggest.

But it worked. Trump Dump amassed over 1.8 million downloads by March 31st. Capturing the imagination of the US public, on February 1st it was the second most downloaded app on the US App Store.

According to stats from App Annie, it struggled to break into the overall top grossing games charts with its one in-app purchase to remove ads, but has consistently found itself in the Adventure and Arcade top grossing charts, though only peaking at around 200th.

Out of this world

Jrump meanwhile sees players take on the role of Donald 'Jrump' , who has destroyed the Earth following a successful bid to be elected as president. After this, Jrump aims to "make the galaxy great again" by jumping on walls and lifting off into outer space, escaping politicians who plan to stop him along the way.

It's a bizarre premise – though clearly spoofing one of Trump's most famous statements and his campaign slogan – but it's been a moderate success.

According to Google Play, Jrump has had more than 100,000 installs to date (up to a maximum of 500,000).

App Annie shows that around its release date in early September, the game shot to a peak position of 60th on September 24th in the top download charts on the US App Store.

By September 30th however, it had fallen out of the overall charts, but still managed to maintain a position on the top downloads in the action and arcade genres. (App Annie tracks rankings up to 1,500th).

Its performance in the top grossing charts has been hit and miss, but it did make some money, if not a lot. It has periodically appeared in the top grossing charts for action and arcade games, but peaked on September 23rd.

In the build up to election day however, Jrump has consistently been in the arcade and action top grossing rankings, but getting no higher than 341st in the arcade chart.

Building walls, not cash

Trump's Wall - Build it Huuuge, released back in April 2016, has also surpassed 100,000 downloads on Google Play.

After extensive media coverage and controversy surrounding Donald Trump's real-life statements, the game managed to hit the top 10 download charts on the App Store between May 7th and May 17th, dropping outside of it once during that time. It dramatically dipped shortly after, however.

Perhaps one of the most successful money-making Donald Trump games is the casino game Slots: Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Slots Games Free.

Released in October, the game peaked at 433rd in the overall top downloads charts on the US App Store.

Though dropping out of the overall top download chart, it has consistently been a top 50 downloaded casino game.

Most interestingly, it has been a near constant in the overall top grossing charts, peaking at 715th on October 25th and recently rising back to a similar spot. It has also hovered around the top 100 grossers for casino games since release.

It's the same story on Google Play, under the different name of Trump vs. Hillary Slot Games!. It has hovered between 350th and 450th on the overall top grossing charts in the US, recently peaking at 357th as election day approached.

Of course, none of these developers will have expected to make serious money spoofing Trump's name. But the number of downloads some of these games have received is remarkable, and shows the power of a popular name and hot topics of debate in the mobile world.
