Ok Winter is Trumping video got me thinking. Dany starts as a oppressed woman who gains her own power and frees the slaves. So she is obviously left leaning. She then kind of become a dicdator and let her strategic air force run wild. Plus she makes political marriage alliance to the money men. So she is Hilary.

Cruz is a religious nut who is not faithful to his wife, therefore he is Stannis.

After much consideration, I have decided Sander doesn't resamble anybody in GoT. He is too idealistic. He wouldn't last through the first season.

But who is Trump? Is he the new money who wants to buy power, like Illyrio; or he wants to profit in chaos, like Little Finger?

 

[RustyNails]

Joffrey.

 

[Savitar]

Definitely Joffrey.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Bran Stark (the Builder)

He's gonna build the biggest wall you've ever seen.

 

[LyleLanley]

Hitler.

 

[Guevara]

Dany is Hillary - Annoying character that will probably take over, most of her early power is through her husband's alliances. The original carpetbagger.

Stannis is Bernie - fan favorite, crotchety old man, destined to lose. Corrupted by his advisors.

Trump is Bran the Builder - built not only the wall (and make the White Walkers pay for it!) but also huge and luxurious edifices like Winterfell.

 

[Makai]

Tyrion

hilarious and fabulous - small hands

 

[God Dayumm]

Daenerys because yaaaaas queeeen!

 

[Escape Goat]

Trump is Joffrey. Chris Christie is Hot Pie.

 

[CGwizz]

He is the turd dumped by stark horse in episode 2 of first season.

 

[Jag]

Easy. Walder Frey.

Walder Frey is shown to be an arrogant, domineering, lecherous, and tyrannical man who posseses no shame. He openly admits how little he thinks of the oaths he swears to other houses due to his strategic position, which he uses to extort hefty tolls in exchange for his allegiance, and shows a willingness to switch sides if he thinks it will benefit him more. Walder may see to it that his numerous descendants are provided for but only to further assert his own position as long as he is still living. Despite his advanced age, however, Walder shows little thought or concern for what happens to his house after he dies because like other characters, namely Cersei Lannister and Ramsay Bolton, he is extremely self-centered, not fully considering the long-term consequences of his actions.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

plus Bran makes the best, the best castles too.

 

[adj_noun]

He's gotta be somebody with a henchman to stand in for Christie.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Joffrey.

.

 

[kirblar]

High Sparrow? Populist uprising, likes shitting on women?

 

[CharminUltra]

Sauron.

 

[adj_noun]

Oh, duh, he's the Wall.

 

[Santiako]

The king of the white walkers. He made the southerners build a wall and pay for it, and everyone hates him.

 

[Corpekata]

He's Tyrion, the too cool for school rich family son that nobody in the political world respects but ends up in power due to his smarts, even if briefly.

And he's probably killed a hooker.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

A whiny petulant child who inherited power from his family and can't let any perceived insult go without torturing his opponent, and frequently their family? Definitely Joffrey.

 

[Gattsu25]

Sanders is the High Sparrow because he is largely a single issue person and his followers are likely to attack you while thinking they are helping you.

 

[Brakke]

Lann the Clever, obsessed over by singers and mummers (the Media). Notorious misogynist. Inherited and swindled his way into wealth. Famous golden hair.

Lann doesn't necessarily exhibit fascism himself, but his descendants and inheritors definitely do. Definitely part of his legacy. So maybe we can attribute those to Lann himself directly, and make the analogy whole.

 

[Escape Goat]

Sauron.

 

[adj_noun]

Who's Ted Cruz? The Tickler?

 

[luoapp]

Patchface

Spoiler

technically asoiaf character

 

[God Dayumm]

High Sparrow? Populist uprising, likes shitting on women?

Sanders is the High Sparrow because he is largely a single issue person and his followers are likely to attack you while thinking they are helping you.

Stop hating on the High Sparrow.

 

[RedShift]

'Too idealistic'
'Wouldn't last through the first season'

Yeah can't think of anyone in GoT that would remind me of.

 

[Goro Majima]

He's some kind of Lannister, whether it's Joffrey or Tywin I'm not sure. Seems to alternate between the two.

 

[echoshifting]

Biter.

 

[massoluk]

In the absence of Clinton (Targaryen) Dynasty after its fateful battle with House Obama (Baratheon), the USA has risen to prosperity after bitter battle but with underlying hostility with the various factions.

To stop Trump (King Joffrey), Kasich bet it all as King of The North for delegates before he was brutally defeated by treacherous billionaire at some lavish gathering. Trump is subsequently defeated by the returning Queen (Clinton) who survived her own ordeal with Bernie Sanders faction that felt betrayed by her action in the far away land.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

Definitely Joffrey.

 

[marrec]

He isn't in Game of Thrones. He is a business man, not an actor.

 

[KingK]

Sanders is Robb Stark. Idealistic, riles up the youth, rebelling against the Iron Throne establishment.

Trump is Euron Greyjoy. Nobody expected him to be a contender. Shows up out of nowhere, blows a big loud horn, promises to make the Ironborn great again, and runs away with his people's nomination.

 

[Eos]

One of the sand snakes

 

[adj_noun]

Wonder who the US politics version of Varys is.

Probably someone we've never heard of. >_>

 

[Corpekata]

Actually one of the Boltons works too. He's a notable flip flopper. Seems to have a thing for torture and scorched earth policies.

Theon can be Jeb Bush, the self important son of a leader that should have had a big role that ends up finding himself the target of the Boltons.

 

[andythinkpad]

WTF nobody agree with me that Trump is Little Finger?

Wonder who the US politics version of Varys is.

Probably someone we've never heard of. >_>

Kissinger

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Mace Tyrell. Prone to lying about alleged achievements (Battle of Ashford), obsessed with perceived slights, the father of beautiful talented children (well, if we only count Ivanka), gains access due to inherited wealth, and makes bad decisions when in ruling positions.

Intellect wise? Victarion Greyjoy lol.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

WTF nobody agree with me that Trump is Little Finger?

I don't see how. The only connection between the two is money.

 

[lastplayed]

House TRUMP
"We will build a wall"

 

[STILLethal]

He is the turd dumped by stark horse in episode 2 of first season.

laaaaaawd

 

[massoluk]

Little Finger is the Koch brothers. They were behind the entire thing but is now realizing everything is spinning out of control. (Not 100% correlate as they are trying to orchestrating rising of a different side)

 

[johnsmith]

Trump is Cersei, obviously.

 

[adj_noun]

I guess debate Rubio is a good Hodor candidate.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

George R R Martin because he is going to be the death of all of us.

 

[echoshifting]

Trump is Cersei, obviously.

You know, the more I think about it, the more this is my favorite answer

 

[Netherscourge]

Trump is Stannis.

He'll fucking

Spoiler

burn his own kid alive

to get elected.

 

[nubbe]

Cersei obviously
They both unleash fanatics to sack the country

 

[massoluk]

Marco Rubio is Cersei. She thirsts and has no clothes.
Looks important, but not really ready for the big league.

 

[vicissitudes]

This question was already answered.

TRIAL BY COMBAT

Tyrion Lannister
Donald Trump
top class negotiator - skipping this debate
