On Friday, Maineiac horror icon Stephen King took to X to share his assessment of the competence—or lack thereof—of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump.
The prolific author penned:
"Deep down in his heart, I believe Trump knows he’s an incompetent a**hole."

While it's unclear what prompted the post, not everyone agreed that Trump is aware of his incompetence.
Even Grok surmised Trump is more incompetent than competent, but found little indication that he had any self-awareness.

But some saw the same signs as King: the insecurities, lashing out, and constant lying to bolster Trump's fragile ego.

King's post came before Trump ordered the botched bombing of the sovereign nation of Iran.
Trump's attempt at a strongman display is catching heat from around the globe and across the political spectrum. Instead of coming off as decisive or impressive, feedback has been largely that Trump is the only idiot ever to do the bidding of a foreign government without the approval or support of his own country or even his own political party.
