The master of horror fiction, Stephen King, is an outspoken Donald Trump critic. These days, instead of writing about things that keep us up at night, King takes to Twitter and castigates Donald Trump – whose ideologies and rhetoric actually do terrify most Americans.

At least we hope they do.

2018 revealed how active The Shining author was on social media with his incisive tweets denouncing the Trump administration. He strayed fro horror and wrote plenty about politics, which is just as scary.


Mashable compiled some of King's best scorchers from 2018, and as far as we're concerned, these tweets are on point.
