President Barack Obama has been pretty upfront about his love for the HBO sword-and-dragon saga Game of Thrones. It’s right in line with the president’s famous enjoyment of things geek. But who does the commander in chief most admire in Westeros? The answer probably won’t surprise you.

In a new interview with Bill Simmons for GQ, Obama picked the politically savvy Tyrion Lannister as the character he most identifies with on the show. Except Obama, like you, has some trouble keeping the names straight. “My favorite character is probably … the dwarf, what’s his name?”

“Peter Dinklage’s character,” Simmons helpfully clarifies.

“The problem with Game of Thrones, though, is that I don’t remember the names of any of the characters,“ Obama continues. “So when I watch it, I know exactly what’s going on. But if you read a review of the show afterwards and they’re mentioning such and such, the only one I remember is Jon Snow, because I can pronounce Jon Snow.”

You hear that, Game of Thrones reviewers? The president is reading your work. Step up your game.

We know Obama is right on top of the Game of Thrones news cycle because one of the show’s directors, David Nutter, said that when he met the president just after the finale, the first thing the commander in chief did was ask, “You didn't kill Jon Snow, did you?“ Nutter's response: ”Mr. President, Jon Snow is deader than dead.“ He may be dead now, but everyone knows Jon Snow is coming back. Then again, Kit Harington did just tell Entertainment Tonight that he could “chop” off his lengthy Snow locks “right now” if he wanted. The plot thickens, and it’s possible not even the president has all the facts.

Simmons went on to ask Obama which Game of Thrones character Donald Trump would be. “Uh … I don’t think … I don’t think any of them rise to that level,” Obama said, sidestepping the question while still getting a solid Trump burn in. How Tyrion of him.
