Iran Press/America: President Donald Trump took to Twitter shortly after Attorney General William Barr held a press conference ahead of the public release of a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
According to Iran Press, Trump posted an image, playing off of the HBO series 'Game of Thrones,' using the show’s font to declare 'Game Over.'
“No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats...Game Over,” Trump tweeted on Thursday, politicized the American fantasy drama television series again, despite of previous criticisms to this behavior.

Attorney General Barr said, 'significant portions' of the Mueller report could have been kept secret because of executive privilege, but were not.
Barr said in his conference that: “After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the Special Counsel confirmed that the Russian government-sponsored efforts to illegally interfere in the 2016 presidential election, but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those efforts.”
However, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement that the only way to restore public trust after Barr’s 'regrettably partisan handling' of the report was for Mueller to testify 'as soon as possible' before Congress.
Democrats demand the full report and all the evidence behind it. The House Judiciary Committee voted on April 3 to authorize a subpoena for Barr to provide that material. If no accord is reached between the lawmakers and the attorney general, a subpoena could result in a legal clash that could reach the Supreme Court.
Trump and his allies seized on Barr’s summary to declare that the president was exonerated by Mueller’s report. “The Greatest Political Hoax of all time!” Trump said of the Russia probe in a tweet Thursday morning.
So far, Several Russian nationals and entities were indicted by Mueller for this alleged interference, but will likely never face an American court, because the indictments are mostly symbolic and their guilt uncertain.
US President Donald Trump then tweeted a photo of himself with the words: 'Sanctions are coming,' a play on the well-known 'Game of Thrones' saying, 'Winter is coming.'
It is not the first time Trump has used Game of Thrones on Twitter; a tweet last November from the president announced 'Sanctions Are Coming' using the same font from the hit HBO show. HBO, though, was not pleased about president's move and announced that: "We would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes."
General Qassem Soleimani responded to US President Donald Trump
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Major General Qassem Soleimani responded to US President Donald Trump’s announcement that ‘sanctions are coming’ with a Game of Thrones-inspired meme of his own.
“Come! We are waiting,” Major General Soleimani wrote on his Instagram page on Friday.
“I can stop you. Quds Force can stop you,” added Soleimani. “You start this war, but we will finish it.”
