The Jan 6 Committee released further documents which show that Donald Trump spent over 2 million dollars in a PR campaign to become mayor of the city of Westeros, the setting of HBO’s Game of Thrones.
The timeline of events shows that Trump sent memos to his staff in 2013 instructing them to “make me Mayor of Westeros”. The following year he received legal advice that Westeros was a kingdom rather than a city, and didn’t have Mayoral elections. That didn’t stop Trump, who promptly sacked his legal team and hired new lawyers, telling them to “do whatever it takes to make me Mayor of Westeros.”
Documents reveal that in 2014, he received further advice that there were no elections being held in Westeros and that the path to leadership was generally by conquest or by killing the existing King. Trump appointed a fresh team of lawyers and demanded that his supporters march on Westeros, hang the existing King or Queen, and make the kingdom great again. He even hired a PR firm to spread false rumours that Kingdom was a big swamp which needed to be drained, and that the Small Council were all paedophiles. Several months were then spent hiring buses to ferry the Proud Boys to Westeros and trying to find out how to get there.
In 2015, his new team of lawyers discovered that Westeros wasn’t a real place and that the Game of Thrones was a fictional story. By then, Trump had spent over 2 million dollars.
Trump tweeted irrationally in response to the release of documents, “Fake news. I knew that Eastercross [sic] wasn’t real. That’s why I called it Westeros.”
