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.
I don't want to see these buttons.

We always seem to be on the brink of some kind of destruction.

Having Trump as president is like tapping the drunkest guy at the party to be the designated driver.— Stephen King (@Stephen King)1520254521.0

Let's just say this does not reflect well on 45.
The current White House staff is bad tempered, arrogant, insensitive, and largely incompetent. What does that say about the boss?— Stephen King (@Stephen King)1526031850.0

Oh, you definitely intended to be "snarky," Mr. King. And we're here for it.
Not to be snarky, but Melania can probably use a week’s rest from Blabbermouth Don. Sounds heavenly to me.— Stephen King (@Stephen King)1526335440.0

We wish this was a fictional character from one of his novels.
Trump is totally incompetent. Incapable. Lost. He needs to be impeached before he can damage the republic more than he already has.— Stephen King (@Stephen King)1527368983.0

This year is already off to quite a start. But it is sure to provide plenty of material for the master of horror to echo what some of us can't put into words.
