Well, it seems that Trump is now pissing off HBO. He's used the show to make memes and tweets about his innocence, but now HBO is telling him to stop, they don't want GOT to be used for political purposes.
HBO requests Trump stop using Game of Thrones memes 'for political purposes'
Following Thursday's press conference where US Attorney General William Barr addressed the release of the Mueller report, President Donald Trump took to Twitter once again with a Game of Thrones-themed response.
The tweet's image shows Trump standing in some type of fog, with the Game of Thrones typeface reading "No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats -- game over."

"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," an HBO spokesperson said in a statement.
This isn't the first time Trump has played on Game of Thrones on Twitter. In November, he tweeted an image of himself with the text "Sanctions are coming," a reference to the show's popular catchphrase "Winter is coming."
**** HBO. I hope Trump tweets more about them!
Wow. HBO asks someone to stop using their intellectual property for political reasons (a reasonable request IMHO), and the first thing you do is to say "**** HBO".
Quick question sportcheck, how would you feel if Obama had been tweeting HBO GOT memes and was told to stop it? I'm guessing you would say that HBO has the right to their property and has the right to stop people from misusing it for political purposes.
IOW, it's okay because Trump is the one doing it.
