Trump’s 'Game of Thrones' response to the Mueller report is his worst meme yet

It doesn't even make sense?

As the world waits for the release of the Mueller report, Donald Trump has tweeted perhaps his most nonsensical meme yet.

Shortly after Attorney General William Barr's press conference, but before the public has even had a chance to read the redacted report, President Trump tweeted another Game of Thrones meme of himself.

"No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats — GAME OVER," the image of him walking into a bunch of fog, read.

Trump's past tweets, and the classic Game of Thrones font he used seem to suggest this is a reference to the popular HBO show. But aside from being a wildly unprofessional tweet from a president, the meme makes absolutely no sense.

"Game over" is a phrase typically used in reference to video games. And Game of Thrones is, crucially, not a video game. Also nothing about the reality of this is a game. So, truly... what is the purpose of this, Trump? Seems like no one really knows.

In the past, Trump has tweeted other tone-deaf Game of Thrones themed images, including one to announce Iran sanctions, and another to declare the border wall would be built. He even printed out a full-size poster of one of the images and brought it to a cabinet meeting.

In response to these previous images, HBO and several Game of Thrones stars, including Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, have publicly expressed their disapproval. HBO even called the president out for trademark misuse on Twitter.

If you're going to try to shake an entire country up with by sharing a meme, at least make it a good one. Maybe consider an original concept rather than basing your graphics off of a show that's already shut you down, or better yet, share no memes at all.
