Trump Brings Poster Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ Tweet To First Cabinet Meeting Of 2019
Remember back in November when President Donald Trump tweeted out a Game of Thrones-style meme that read “Sanctions Are Coming”?

Well, it would appear he loved the meme so much that he had a poster printed out and he brought it to his first Cabinet meeting of 2019.

The president sent out that tweet exactly two months ago to announce that he was reimposing American sanctions on Iran after he pulled out the United States out of the Iran Nuclear Deal. So we guess this was a way to celebrate the anniversary of one of his favorite tweets?
Anyway, the fact that the leader of the free world used his first Cabinet meeting of the new year as a battleground for the Great Boomer Meme Wars resulted in a decent amount of face-palming on Twitter.
Is that… a poster-sized print out of the dumb Game of Thrones meme he tweeted? pic.twitter.com/Rklce3BGE6

printing out a meme of himself for a cabinet meeting is the most boomer online shit we're ever going to see

I heard that there was a Game of Thrones parody poster on the desk during Trump's meeting, so I assumed it was about the wall that occupies like 1/3 of the plot of that book/show, and… no, it's about sanctions!

Not sure what's crazier: That Trump is using a stupid Game of Thrones reference to threaten sanctions, or that he's obviously had that poster since at LEAST October (photo via AP) pic.twitter.com/NZaRoHw0NQ

Meanwhile, as Trump is utilizing today’s Cabinet meeting to promote his Twitter memes, all of the departures from his cabinet means that the roughly one-third of the participants in the meeting are currently in “acting” capacity.
