Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has compared US President Donald Trump to the fantasy show's 'mad boy-king' Joffrey Baratheon. He said that if people had paid attention to the HBO hit, they could have avoiding living in a "Thrones-like world".

"I think it's always been about two things for me," variety.com quoted Harington as saying. He added: "About dysfunctional families -- or families in general, always where the best drama is -- and the everlasting idea that people who seek power are very often the last people who should have it. Unfortunately, we're leaving 'Thrones' with a Joffrey as the President of the United States of America."
