Shortly before all the major networks called the election in favor of Joe Biden on Saturday, but long after it had already been anticipated this would happen, Trump made yet another delusional, baseless claim on Twitter — that he, somehow, won.

Obviously, the tweet didn’t age well. We all knew it wasn’t going to age well. It was already looking likely that Biden would win the electoral college with the same exact “landslide” number Trump insisted he won with in 2016 (despite losing the popular vote by millions). And a number of the Trump campaign’s attempted lawsuits to coerce the ballot counting to go in his favor rather than counting all the lawful votes of American citizens had already been dismissed by the courts at this point.

But Trump’s gonna Trump, and his insistence surprised nobody. It did make for a good laugh, though, and the president made it too easy for people to pile on.

But some of the best mockeries people have made of Trump’s tweet are a direct mimic, insisting well-known losers won something when they very clearly did not, at all.

Vladimír Furdík, the actor who portrayed the Night King in Game of Thrones, undoubtedly had the best take on this, declaring that he had won the ultimate Battle of Winterfell at the end of the series.
But in truth, after a long and exhausting battle, the Night King and his thirst for destruction were thoroughly defeated — just like Trump.
