Trump features 'Game of Thrones'-style poster during Cabinet meeting: 'Sanctions are coming'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump spoke at length Wednesday about the partial government shutdown, tensions on the Korea peninsula and stock market swings.

But it was a "Game of Thrones"-style poster featuring Trump that was placed on a table in the Cabinet Room that lit up social media. "Sanctions are coming," the poster read, a riff on the "winter is coming" mantra embraced in the popular HBO show.

The use of Trump in a "Game of Thrones" meme first emerged in early November, when the president tweeted an image of the same poster.

HBO pushed back on the use of the image at the time.

"How do you say trademark misuse in Dothraki?" the cable network tweeted, referring to the fictional language used in the series.

Which GOT character would Trump be? I'm thinking either King Joeffery or Stannis Baratheon.

1. I hope HBO goes after tRump for

maybe copyrights violations....As a loyal Game of Thrones Fan....I am insulted.

Trump is faux King Joffrey....cruel, self centered incompetent.


Oh,,,, Pence is .....Grand Maester Pycelle

3. DB Weiss and David Benioff, the producers of the show

won't be happy, either. They are both fairly liberal politically. They got in a tiny bit of trouble several years back when one of the heads on spikes outside of the Red Keep looked suspiciously like the head of George W Bush.

10. Absolutely...

The producers are Liberal...I remember the " bush head on a stick"... kkind of a suttle placment....

2. Personality-wise, he is definitely Joffrey

Physically, he seems to be rapidly becoming Ser Wyman Manderly, called "Lord Too Fat to Sit a Horse" by the aforementioned Stannis Baratheon.

6. This is so fucked. We are so fucked.

"Winter is Coming" doesn't mean "Happy Days Are Here Again" or "Yes We Can"

It means hardship, austerity, starvation, doom, darkness..death.

I don't think that motto means what you think it means, Mr Trump.

Or does it?

11. Have you watched Game of Thrones?

I'm not sure you have grasped the concept yet ....

This is an amazing series......probably the best ever produced...ever....

[violetpastille]

12. I have watched Game of Thrones.

What is it that I haven't grasped? Clue me in on what you think I'm not getting.

This is where I would insert a NOT BEING SARCASTIC emoji. Because I'm not being sarcastic.

Here lemme find something...

8. to quote KO_ Stradivarius

"You know NOTHING, Donald Trump!!!"

9. The poster puts 50 lbs on him. Right in the middle too.

[violetpastille]

13. I thought it was a pretty faithful likeness. Bodyshapewise.

I was surprised he signed off on it.

[JDC]

14. You're right. I'm surprised they didn't shop his head onto a weight lifter body

15. The fact that he's not even paying enough attention to his environment to be vain anymore is

almost the most frightening thing about the poster.
