HBO has responded after Donald Trump used a Game Of Thrones-inspired meme to push his politics, and they aren’t happy.
The US president tweeted a meme in reference to special counsel Robert Mueller’s heavily redacted investigation into Donald Trump and Russia which was released today.
Trumps post in response, using Game Of Thrones style font, read: ‘No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats, game over.’
HBO has since released a statement (via Mashable) which, essentially, asks for the president to stop using their show’s iconography.
The statement reads: ‘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 isn’t the first time HBO has asked Trump to stop using Game Of Thrones memes, after he previously used the show’s font to post a meme reading, ‘Sanctions are coming’, based on House Stark’s slogan, ‘Winter Is Coming’.
At the time, HBO responded: ‘How do you say trademark misuse in Dothraki?’
Game Of Thrones recently kicked off its final ever season, seeing Jon Snow and Daenerys prepare themselves for the battle of Winterfell.
Game Of Thrones continues on HBO and Sky Atlantic next Sunday. Seasons one to seven are available to stream on NOW TV.
