It's unsurprising that this personality is the US president's favourite
As it appears, the president of the United States watches the fantastical medieval series in his spare time.
GQ discovered in an in-depth interview that Obama does watch television when he is not busy running the US and dealing with important world issues.
"I do love Game of Thrones," admitted the president. "My favourite character is probably…the dwarf, what’s his name?…The problem with Game of Thrones, though, is that I don’t remember the names of any of the characters."
It's understandable that Obama would love Tyrion considering the dwarf's love for politics and his undeniable wit concerning diplomatic relations.
“I remember the characters, so when I watch it, I know exactly what’s going on,” said the US president. “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.”
When asked who Donald Trump's equivalent character would be on the show, Obama responded, “Uh…I don’t think…I don’t think any of them rise to that level.” 'Nuff said.
