Chris Wallace: '"Game of Thrones" has nothing on this White House'

BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 03/02/18 12:30 PM EST

Fox News host Chris Wallace says President Trump’s West Wing has more drama than Westeros.

“‘Game of Thrones’ has nothing on this White House and this administration,” Wallace said on Friday.

His reference to the hit HBO drama came after a tumultuous week for Trump, including the resignation of communications director Hope Hicks, senior adviser Jared Kushner being stripped of his top-secret security clearance, and rumors about possible departures for chief economic adviser Gary Cohn and national security adviser H.R. McMaster.

“What's clear to me in all of this is that the long knives are out for Jared Kushner," Wallace said.

have at least some degree of competence, save Joffrey and Viserys. Yes, Ramsey Bolton was a horrible person, but at least he was a good battlefield general (defeated Stannis and was beating Jon Snow and company until Littlefinger and Sansa saved him)

Tywin Lannister, Ned Stark, Littlefinger, Danerys, etc all had some degree of competence.

Even Robert Baratheon was a great warrior and leader on the battlefield and was smart enough to know he was a lousy king.

Trump is the worst of Joffrey, Robert and Viserys put together and all grown up, and with no Tywin, no Varys and no Cersei to try to rein him in.
