How do you say trademark misuse in Dothraki?

Like it or not, U.S President Donald Trump decided to post a Game of Thrones meme yet again.

This morning, Trump took to Twitter to respond to the Mueller Report, and for whatever reason, he thought it best to hit up the folks of Westeros for his font choice.

The tweet reads: "No collusion. No obstruction. For the haters and the radical left Democrats — GAME OVER."
  As you can see, the words "game over" are written in an extremely GoT font, making this the second time the president has used the HBO show to publicize his agenda.

In November, Trump posted a GoT meme that read "Sanctions Are Coming" — again in a font lifted from the show. That previously tweet didn't exact sit well with HBO at the time, with the network saying, "We were not aware of this messaging and would prefer our trademark not be misappropriated for political purposes."

HBO also responded by saying, "How do you say trademark misuse in Dothraki?"

UPDATE (4/18, 3:15 p.m. EDT): HBO has now responded to Trump's tweet, saying: "Though we can understand the enthusiasm for Game of Thrones now that the final season has arrived, we still prefer our intellectual property not be used for political purposes."
