I thought this was a joke. A photoshop. It is not.






A 'Game of Thrones'-style poster about sanctions sits in front of President Trump as he holds a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday.

Not sanctions, Donnie. Indictments. Indictments are coming.

On the other hand, blood, gore, torture, and abject cruelty are what motivates your team.

8. Some things are very hard to do in PhotoShop

The cues in this one are the shadow of the slightly curled up forward edge of the poster, which most 'shoppers wouldn't bother with, and the reflections of the lamps off the poster, which are both hard to do and obscure the "message" if you're meaning it as a prank. People who have done a lot of PS work know what to look for.

And that's why he's called Needy Amin.
