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, were 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 shows 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 Varietys 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, weve found a Joffrey at the head of one of the most powerful countries in the world.

...of the books (and the DVDs if they can find them) and then burn them or run them over with their cars.

Trump is Joffrey because hes so immature, childish and spoiled with a real mean streak. Putin is Ramsay because hes 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 Ive ever seen.
