On Wednesday, as the federal government entered day 12 of the partial shutdown that has seen furloughed employees go without pay and actual poop pile up at America’s national parks, President Donald Trump hosted a cabinet meeting at the White House. There, Trump addressed the shutdown and spoke about North Korea and the stock market … all while a poster-sized print-out of a Game of Thrones–inspired meme was brazenly displayed on the table in front of him.
The president had tweeted the meme — which features an image of him with the words “Sanctions are coming” in Game of Thrones font and a clear riff of the HBO program’s iconic “Winter is coming” catch phrase — back in November, at the time seemingly in reference to sanctions against Iran.
What’s up with the movie poster
