Trump tweets Game of Thrones-inspired warning

Shortly after the anouncement of sanctions on Iran, US President Donald Trump sought to drive the point home in a highly unconventional fashion: by tweeting what looked like a poster promoting a new movie. “SANCTIONS ARE COMING NOVEMBER 5,” it said, superimposed over a photo of a stern-looking president. Both the typeface and phrasing were borrowed from the HBO fantasy series, Game of Thrones, in which the motto “Winter is coming” signals the need for vigilance.
