he doesn't know the meanign of the word hardship. He's been told/taught tat he the better of everyone else, growing up he was sheltered from the peasents and from life.

Third, his unbringing completely explains his treatment of the poor and those beneath him, This is where Cersei's upbringing f*cked him up most. He was a proper gentlemen to sansa until his fathers betrayal. Second he is cruel to those who he feels have wronged him or by association wronged him. and once again joffery has defines himself as king at an age where kids struggle most with their identity.Ĭan you imagine having the kind of power joff does when you were a 13 year old teenager? robert never punched ither one of them hard enouh to knock out half their teeth. i would feel for the kid too.Īnd just to throw a cherry on this kid's sht sundae, all of a sudden he has his fathers best friends and brothers all rising up against him, claiming he was an abomination, a freak and trying to take the one thing his father left for him? trying to strip him of the one thing that defines him?Ī kid who struggles and yearns for the attention that he can no longer get, and whose identity is mocked and question by all those around him.įirst of all tommen and mycrella were not brought up in the same situation as far as we knowĬersei didn't feed her other children the same ego boosting, infalliablity she fed to joffery, the pressure to be king obviously was not placed on tommen or myrcella.

scratch that, THE ONLY MAN you can look up to, doesn't even give one sh T about you. Yeah you're the rightful king who can do no wrong, but the one man you looked up too. That coupled with the point of his mother raisng him so he thinks himself as infalliable is not a good combination. To add on to Dakov's points, in the books theres a subtle implication that joff yearns of approval/respect of his Father(Robert) but instead is always ignored, beaten, or mocked. » /r/EarthOfIceAndFire - reminding of GOT This is used to define what the post is about, and to what level of discussion is allowable in the comments.įor more info see the guide and policy. » Season 8 Premiere: April 14th » Winds of Winter Release: TBA » Subreddit Twitter » Subreddit Discord Quick Spoiler GuideĮvery post at r/gameofthrones must use a single, spoiler tag at the start of the post.

Though they differ in various other ways, one thing Joffrey, Trump, Daenerys, and Warren all have in common is an aversion to structural limits on government power - especially when they themselves are the ones wielding it.New Spoiler Tags We have updated our spoiler guide and tagging system. Sadly, life imitates Game of Thrones all too often. Warren's attempt to claim the mantle of Dragon Queen became even more problematic after what the latter did in episodes that aired a few weeks after the article was published (though, in my view, this plot twist was badly flawed). Elizabeth Warren's article praising Daenerys Targaryen and trying to analogize parts of her own political agenda to that of the Dragon Queen. Trump is not the only politician who inspires Game of Thrones analogies.

Martin, author of the books on which the TV series is based, who noted that "they have the same level of emotional maturity." Joffrey's cruelty and total lack of self-control have often been analogized to Trump's similar qualities, including by George R.R. But it caught my eye because of the similarity to a famous scene in Season 3 of Game of Thrones where King Joffrey throws a very similar tantrum and insists "I am the king!" As Joffrey's grandfather Lord Tywin points out in response, "any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king." He then makes Joffrey go to bed. In a recent outburst at a reporter who asked a question he didn't like, President Trump angrily insisted that "I'm the President of the United States! Don't ever talk to the president that way!" This is far from the worst Trump temper tantrum. Jack Gleeson as King Joffrey in Game of Thrones (HBO).
