Isn't the goal of tetris to not build the wall!?!?

EDIT: good lord this is cringe, it doesn't even clear lines when you complete them. It's impossible to not get a game-over because the screen fills up regardless of whether or not you play well.

Not that I was ever expecting quality from Donald Trump's vibecode boomer-meme slop but I thought they could at least bother to correctly implement the simplest and most recognizable video game of all time, especially since it's going on whitehouse.gov.

My reply here is just bout the one quote. I more or less agree with the sentiment of your post. But..

Isn't the goal of tetris to not build the wall!?!?

I think the point of the game tetris is to build a wall or at least could be thought of that way. Each line that you completed and moves off the bottom of the screen is a completed section of wall and the goal is to make a hole free wall for as long as you can.
