"We were not aware of this messaging and would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes," HBO says in a statement.Additionally, HBO posted another comment in response to the President's tweet on its Twitter page.The statements come in a response to an image posted earlier on the President's Twitter, which depicts Trump standing with the words "Sanctions are Coming." The font used in the graphic was taken from Game of Thrones' second season, Entertainment Weekly reports , while "Winter is coming" was the tagline for Season 1 and is a repeated refrain for HBO's hit series.At this time, there has been no response from the White House on this matter. Multiple cast members from Game of Thrones have taken to Twitter to respond to the appropriated content.For more on Game of Thrones, check out the first image from the filming of the final season , which was revealed earlier this week by Entertainment Weekly.
