HBO says Trump misappropriating 'Game of Thrones' for 'political purposes'

HBO said Friday that they would prefer for President Trump not to “misappropriate” the slogan for its hit show “Game of Thrones” to promote his administration's agenda.

"We were not aware of this messaging and would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes," an HBO spokeswoman told The Hill.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.

The network’s response came after the president tweeted a meme inspired by the book series-turned-HBO hit show “Game of Thrones" to promote his upcoming sanctions.

“Sanctions are coming November 5,” the meme reads in the series's font.

1. Plagiarism is the Republican way because they lack both imagination and ethics.

3. No originality. No creativity. So f'n boring and dull.

There's good reason there aren't any good Republican writers, directors, actors, musicians, artists, comics, etc. They lack talent.

There should be a law that if someone uses your image/intellectual property without your permission, then you can use theirs to promote any cause you wish.
