Game of Thronescreator George R.R. Martin also reacted on Twitter, tweeting directly at Trump an image that read: “Fear cuts deeper than swords. Vote Tuesday the 6th.”
On Friday, Trump tweeted an image of himself which featured a text overlay that read, “Sanctions are coming,” an apparent play on the much-memedGame of Thronesslogan. The font of the text also appears to mimic that used in the HBO series.

“The U.S. is reimposing the toughest sanctions ever on Iran, targeting many of the corrupt regime’s critical sectors,” the White House said, adding in a second tweet: “The United States has launched a campaign of economic pressure to deny the regime the funds it needs to advance its bloody agenda!”
