The Game of Trumps casting call

[voltaire]

Right, then. This is in the Pit because I’m not sure where it really belongs, none of the other forum mods likely want it, and it has to do with the Trump admin so it’ll probably need the leeway.

So, clearly, Bannon is Littlefinger:

“The Democrats,” he said, “the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.”
I had never before spoken with Bannon. I came away from the conversation with a sense both of his savvy and his recklessness. The waters around him are rising, but he is going about his business of infighting, and attempting to cultivate improbable outside allies, to promote his China strategy. His enemies will do what they do.

Either the reports of the threats to Bannon’s job are grossly exaggerated and leaked by his rivals, or he has decided not to change his routine and to go down fighting. Given Trump’s impulsivity, neither Bannon nor Trump really has any idea from day to day whether Bannon is staying or going. He has survived earlier threats. So what the hell, damn the torpedoes.

So, what GoT characters most fit the other members of the Trump administration?

But who is Trump himself? Certainly not Tywin, he’s not smart enough. Is he…Cersei? Narcissistic, evil, terrible strategist, eager for war, secret desire to bonk a close relative?

Joffry. Or however the hell you spell his name.

I thought Trump was show Euron (book one is a bit different, but I won’t spoil that) based on the fact that both won an election on vague promises and “I’ll fix that even though I don’t actually have the means to do so. But I totally will, I double swear it!”

The difference is that Euron seems to actually accomplish meaningful goals, and also he hasn’t been seen for a few episodes whereas Trump is everywhere.

Bernie is the High Sparrow.

And now I’m getting a mental image of The Orange One in Cersei’s dress. Pass the brain bleach.

Sessions could pass for a White Walker.

Nah, the opposite. WWs want to turn people into murderous zombies in the old ways, Sessions wants to stop people from smoking pot which will zombify them and make them murder in 30s style Reefer Madness.

Bingo.

Joffrey humiliating Tyrion at his wedding was Romney trying to bag SoS.

Wait, we haven’t seen a female White Walker, huh? :dubious:
Well, we haven’t seen Kellyanne lately, either, have we?! :eek:
