Trump
Overview
Trump or Donald Trump was a ranged 'joke' unit added in the Open Alpha release in time for the 2016 US election along with its other counterpart Hillary. They dual wield M16 weapons and has the ability to build walls, which at some point can fall down and crush enemies. They, along with Hillary, were the only characters that could "talk" (More talking units were added later). It was also the only Unit in the game that had more than one ability. In an AMA on Reddit by Wilhelm, it was confirmed that it will be removed in the full game, along with Hillary. It is possible that players may be able to recreate these units with the unit creator. It was in the Miscellaneous Faction of the alphas.
Appearance
The Trump unit had blonde hair and would dual-wield two M16s.
Usage
Trump could be regarded as a close-range defensive counterpart to the M16, since it can build walls that block projectiles and has worse range and accuracy. Due to their damage and walls, Trump can defeat large groups of enemies. However, Muskets are a somewhat good counter to it and Hillary, able to keep them at bay while taking down its health. Other knock-back units work as well, just as long as you have enough of them in the right position.
Players would put them at the frontline to distract and kill melee units, while having some ranged units in the rear providing covering fire.
In-Game Quotes
