The concept of the game is pretty good. Some mechanics probably need to be fixed regarding the "spamming 1" to win part. 

Adding voice clips was a good choice since the game would get pretty monotonous after a while (I personally prefer playing games that are more action than reading but that's just my personal opinion). Adding in some other types of puzzles might make the game interesting or maybe more visuals. But the graphics of the game are good.  

I really like the political humor in this game, though it has drawbacks like spamming 1 to win, the math problems are a pain to go through, etc., I'll just be pointing out on several key points and thoughts that other people people might have missed:

Gameplay-wise, while I admit the questions are fun in themselves, I think the game can improve by adding more unique scenarios like QTEs, puzzle minigames, etc. (like those in impossible quiz or the like) to add some more variety and fun than just spamming

The timer felt like it had no real impact to the gameplay. I never really knew what sort of true purpose it served other than to peer pressure the player in making the decision (this becomes less important by the time the player learns to just spam the 1 key button to win)

Other than that, the humor is on point and the visuals are simple and nice to look at. Overall nice game you got here m8!

I like the concept of the game (very interesting) but I also won by spamming "1". 

how to improve:
1. put icons to visually identify and assist which one is the democrat party or the republican party - as someone who gets confused between the two, I had to search which party Trump belongs to </3 

2. maybe you could try using buttons to prevent the users from spamming

Good job for creating the game. Good job for making this game. In my opinion, you can improve this game by changing/adding some game mechanics. These are the following:

Presidential Action Console: I think you can increase the font size of the questions since I noticed that all of the questions doesn't really take up all the space of the  console. 

Decision System: Rather than pressing keys, it would probably be better if you can control it using buttons so the players can feel more immersed to the game.

Given the time and acads, this is a pretty good game.

If you still want to improve your game and have the time to do it, you could use these advices. Overall, I enjoyed the game. It is very funny and interesting game. Good job :)))).

whew... that took a while to finish. spamming number keys did not help (i must've been pretty unlucky haha).

even though i kinda love math, i did not expect myself to be answering arithmetic this late ://

visuals and audio choices were hilarious and fit the tone of the game. i especially liked the trump head moving as a trump quote is played.

the 'kids' question producing random effects is a nice touch. it's hard to know what's real or fake these days lol (i wonder if we have the same idea here).

overall, pretty funny and solid game given the timeframe and acads :))

(nice among us sfx btw)

after playing this game, i suddenly had republicans follow me on twitter. the fact that you gave me a math quiz out of nowhere still blows my mind. game is poggers.

Interpretation: "Enemies as Weapons" by francisd.billones

My game is a politics simulator where you divide political parties and gain support by using the other party's actions against them

i have to admit i spent a lot of time just pressing random options but considering that most of the stuff there contains the agenda for both parties i think it would be easy for a person knowledgeable about US politics to differentiate which ones will help you win or lose

good music choice, and overall the game was alright

(+1)

I won just by pressing 1 many times (for all choices)
