HBO Would Really Like Trump to Stop Tweeting About Game of Thrones

He shared a GoT-inspired political message for the second time this morning

HBO collaborated with more than 100 brands ahead of Game of Thrones’ Season 8 premiere, but there is one marketing partner the network would rather do without: President Donald Trump.

This morning, for the second time, Trump tweeted a Game of Thrones-inspired political message. He tweeted a link to an image that said “Game Over” in the HBO series’ signature font, shortly before the release of the Mueller report.

The network responded in a statement a couple hours later: “Though we can understand the enthusiasm for Game of Thrones now that the final season has arrived, we still prefer our intellectual property not be used for political purposes.”

This is the second time that Trump has co-opted Game of Thrones for political purposes.
