Actor Kit Harrington reveals Trump reason he's sad Game of Thrones is Ending

we can relate, Jon Snow. Boy, can we relate...


Kit Harington Reveals Donald Trump-Related Reason He’s Sad ‘Game Of Thrones’ Is Ending
It has to do with the show’s brutal boy-king, Joffrey Baratheon.

Harington said in an interview published by Variety on Tuesday that he feels “like we are living in a more ‘Thrones’-like world.”

And “unfortunately, we’re leaving ‘Thrones’ with a Joffrey as the President of the United States of America,” he added.

It was a direct comparison of Trump to the show’s brutal boy-king, Joffrey Baratheon.
Author George R. R. Martin, whose Song of Ice and Fire book series is the basis of “Thrones,” made a similar observation about Trump and Joffrey in 2017.


One wonders if any Trumpsters watch GOT...

Harington, the cover star of Variety’s latest issue, echoed the point in the cover shoot video as he lamented how “the world has changed since we started the show and yeah, we’ve found a Joffrey at the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world.”

Trump is Joffrey because he’s so immature, childish and spoiled with a real mean streak. Putin is Ramsay because he’s vile to the nth degree and he sure knew how to fight a crushing war showing he had the muscle and the strategy of a true warmonger. That battle scene was the most amazing depiction I’ve ever seen.
