Everyone knows by now horror writing royalty, Stephen King, does not hold back when tweeting about his dislike of current U.S. President, Donald Trump.
This week was no different, with King taking to Twitter once again. This time, he was replying to a tweet sent out by Trump in regards to the "onslaught of illegal aliens" coming into the country.
The purpose of Trump's tweet seems to be instilling fear into his base supporters, but King shut that down pretty hard.

King wasn't the only one, many others attacked Trump's fear infused tweet.
