Quiz: 'Game of Thrones' or Donald Trump?

Our long wait is (almost) over. A year after the Season 5 finale that launched a thousand fan theories, Game of Thrones is preparing to enter new territory in its sixth season, which debuts Sunday, April 24 on HBO. For the first time in its history, the series will venture completely off book, as the writers have lapped the release of author George R.R. Martin’s final two novels. So now, both readers and newbies will be on the same proverbial page when we return to Westeros, Dorne, and points beyond.

As viewers count down the days to Game of Thrones’ return, we here at Yahoo TV are launching our official countdown: #GoTIsComing. Check back here every day over the next month as we explore all of our favorite (and a few of our least favorite) people, places, and things about television’s most addictive show. From Direwolves and Dragons to the shows most hideous deaths and imperiled characters, we’re going to indulge or GoT obsession with the same fervor that Cersei imbibes alcohol. So raise a glass and toast the impending arrival of a long, cruel, and bloody Westerosi winter.

Game of Thrones and Donald Trump — one’s a show about wannabe dictators and the other is a wannabe dictator putting on a daily show.

Life on the U.S. campaign trail and the quest for the iron throne in Westeros seem to grow increasingly similar by the day. (We aren’t alone in noticing the resemblance. Check out this funny — and by funny, we actually mean frightening — parody, Winter Is Trumping.) Both Trump’s presidential run and the epic HBO series, which returns April 24, are filled with fear of invaders, hatred and racism, giant walls, sexism, machismo, family values, and issues with refugees. Both have incited violence and led to protests and bloodshed. And in both cases, the fate of a world hangs in the balance.

They are also both rife with insults, accusations, innuendo, menacing ultimatums, and thinly veiled threats. (Occasionally they don’t even bother to shroud those warnings in any air of mystery at all.) Sometimes you hear a quote and, at least momentarily, you think, “Wait — did I hear that on CNN or in Ramsay Bolton’s torture chamber?”

With that in mind, we gathered 16 quotes to see if you can figure out whether they came out of the mouths of fictional babes and brutes or the all-too-real bullish businessman. Click through this slideshow to find out whether you know nothing, like Jon Snow, or everything, as the Donald claims he does semi-regularly.

Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
