A real game of thrones
Netflix has finally released the eighth season of Game of Thrones, and seeing the show again gave me an epiphany. President Trump is a Lannister! He is blond, rich, covets a throne (his best buddies are autocrats), and finally, he subscribes to the Lannister view of truth. Way back in Season 1, Cercei Lannister said to her son Joffrey, the crown prince, “When you are king, the truth will be what you say it is.”
Will there be an Iron Throne installed at Mar-A-Lago?
