HBO knows that all of us are super-hype about this last season of Game of Thrones, and yes, that includes the Night King and his White Walkers but they donโ€™t want old blue eyes using GOT for his political bullshit.

Shortly after the presidentโ€™s hype man, and Americaโ€™s top cop William Barr gave his lopsided, retelling of the Special Counsel Robert Muellerโ€™s investigation into Russia collusion (which, if you didnโ€™t see it, amounted to Barr basically stating that the president is a good man whoโ€™s being unjustly targeted by the evil Democrats), the President Donald Trump tweeted this:

HBO then told the Hollywood Reporter that theyโ€™re getting tired of repeating themselves since theyโ€™ve told the president about this before.

โ€œThough 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,โ€ said HBO in response to the presidentโ€™s meme.

Trump has used GOT imagery from his official presidential Twitter account before (which is basically like a regular Twitter account except a really old asshole is behind the tweets and not a 12-year-old asshole) because he really believes heโ€™s Daenerys Targaryen and Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are his dragons (although a Republican dragon is really just a dog wearing a dragon costume).

After Trumpโ€™s tweet from last November (see below), HBO responded by saying, โ€œWe were not aware of this messaging and would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes,โ€ the Blast reports.

HBO doesnโ€™t like the president and his bigly ties using their imagery but that hasnโ€™t stopped him from running wild(ling) among the seven kingdoms because the president canโ€™t read so he doesnโ€™t know what the hell HBO is even saying but his lawyers will when that raven arrives carrying a cease and desist.
