'Game of Thrones' author George R.R. Martin compares Trump to King Joffrey
Washington Examiner ^ | May 24, 2017 | Meghana Kurup

The creator and one of the main stars of the hit HBO show "Game of Thrones" feel President Trump is a "petulant" child and called the president a "con artist."

"I think Joffrey is now the king in America," Martin told Esquire magazine, comparing Trump to the power-hungry young King Joffrey in the hit HBO series. "And he's grown up just as petulant and irrational as he was when he was 13 in the books."

Joffrey was one of the most hated villains in the series and was often referred to as sadistic, egotistical and a spoiled brat.

Martin just lost at least one loyal fan of his Game of Thrones series.

The Winds of Winter will not be blowing in my house. Even if he actually writes it.

Martin may know everything about Westeros. But he hasn't a clue about reality.

If anyone was Joffrey it was Obama: petulant, entitled, thin-skinned, of questionable birth. Martin should quit the commentary and make with the Winter. He probably tied his plots into too many knots and can’t figure out how to undo them all.

I was thinking of reading his books but I guess he’s an idiot.

As a Stannis fan I can say that Hillary is at the very least like TV Show Stannis.

Doesn't understand the concept of a Border Wall, wants to make invading people citizens and uses Blood Magic to destroy her enemies.

Sounds about right.

He’s a fat old sadistic (am I the only one who detected an author’s chuckle as he murdered off the characters he’d built up as heroes?) left wing MF who’s been part of the clique that’s turned the Hugo Awards into a politically correct exclusionary of Conservatives club. I’m resolved that if I ever meet him I’ll save up saliva to give a good wad of spit directly in his face.

Donald doesn't drink. Big deal for a President. We dodged a drunken hag with some kind of organic brain syndrome.

He is a lazy idiot who has allowed television writers to get ahead of his books. He has created a make-believe world modeled on the dark ages and left his society mired in that feudal system for anywhere, according to his books, from ten thousand to sixteen thousand years. No progress, social or scientific. No democratic struggles. No hope. Only ugliness and using people as pawns for power.

Martin is the Michael Moore of the fantasy / science fiction world in so many ways.

A constant liar who fails to deliver on his promises, and like like Ariana Grande, despises the people who made him rich.

A lot of people compare Martin to Tolkien. Tolkien’s world was one of nobility vs. evil. Martin’s is one of moral depravity vs. even more moral depravity. In which one does it matter who wins?
