For all you political junkies who like me, also happen to be a fan of the HBO series “Game of Thrones” I was half heartedly joking that this whole plot against Trump reminded me of an early episode of Game of Thrones. There are a few parallels. I got top playing around with the major players in this coup, and I tried to put them next to who I think is their corresponding GOT character. After all the subterfuge, espionage, sedition, and treason, I think we can use a little brevity before the “Great War” begins. Feel free to play along
The Players, followed by their GOT counter part.
The Night King = Barack Obama, the great hidden threat, with his voluminous army of the undead to do his bidding. He revealed to the world by John Snow, who then gathers the forces of good for an epic battle against evil.
Cersi Lannister = Hillary CLinton, the evil Queen who has ALWAYS sought power at all costs. She is constantly plotting and scheming to gain more power.
Robert Baratheon = Bill Clinton. King who lied and captured the Seven Kingdoms by rebellion. Married Cersi, but was more interested in in his sexual escapades than running the Kingdom.
John Snow = Donald Trump, the long suffering hero who was promised to save the world from the long night, and the Night King.
Tywin Lannister = John Brennan, not an exact fit, but father of Cersi, who is always plotting and scheming the overthrow of his House’s enemies. He often betrayed others to gain more power.
James Clapper = Little Finger, he is ALWAYS spying on everyone with his and he trades in information and subterfuge to try and further his agenda.
Mike Rogers = Varys, the master of whispers. He uses his “little birds” to gather intel and information, and uses it to try and reunite the Seven Kingdoms under a just ruler.
Michael Flynn = Rob Stark. again not an exact fit, the just but rash son of Ned Stark. He was set up, betrayed, and murdered by Walder Frey in the guise of “hospitality”
Donald Trump Jr = Ser Bron of the Blackwatter, just because Bron is a bad ass known for his skill with a sword and his equally sharp wit.
Walder Frey = Andrew McCabe Frey comes under the auspices of hospitality and friendship, and then murders most of the Starks at the Red Wedding because of a secret pact with Tywin Lannister.
Jeff Sessions = Stannis Baratheon A previous warrior who goes about a misguided quest to become the King of the Seven Kingdoms. He eventually gets bad advice and loses everything.
Breanne of Tarth = Sarhar Sanders, Afierce warrior who upholds truth and is a FIERCE defender of honor and Justice.
TO be continued…
