Y'know, I was about to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and look up what he actually said, because if he suggested that there should be an independent ratings body instead of one run by the video game publishers, or maybe that there should be a rating system involving ages like we have in Europe that has laws around banning children from buying the games. I may not agree, but at least he wouldn't be spouting shit about something that already exists.
But no, he just said rating system. And not just for games, he wants a rating system for movies too. HOW NOVEL

We have to look at the Internet, because a lot of bad things are happening to young kids and young minds, and their minds are being formed. And we have to do something about maybe what they’re seeing and how they’re seeing it,

I mean, they might stumble on your Twitter account for one thing.

And also video games. I’m hearing more and more people say the level of violence in video games is really shaping young people’s thoughts. And then you go the further step and that’s the movies. You see these movies, they’re so violent and yet a kid is able to see a movie if sex isn’t involved, but killing is involved. Maybe they have to put a rating system for that.

What he really means is more restricted ratings around violence, of course, but he's not the greatest speaker.
