Stephen King Unleashes Fury on 'Trumpaholics' as Countdown to Presidency's End Begins

Stephen King is at it again, unleashing a torrent of disdain for Donald Trump and his die-hard followers on social media. The 78-year-old literary legend took to X, declaring that the president's second term has a mere "988 days" left, and he’s not holding back.

King, known for his sharp tongue and even sharper pen, has been a relentless critic of Trump, often likening him to the monstrous villains that populate his chilling tales like The Dead Zone and Under the Dome. His latest jab at "Trumpaholics" comes on the heels of his previous incendiary remarks, where he likened MAGA supporters to "pigs" amid nationwide No Kings protests.

On May 7, King tweeted, "MAGA supporters=Trumpaholics. What will you do when the supply runs out in 988 days?" The post ignited a firestorm of reactions, with fans and foes alike weighing in on the author’s latest anti-Trump tirade. One user quipped, "I love that you’re so disturbed that you are counting the days," while others echoed his sentiments, wishing for an earlier end to Trump's reign.

Supporters rallied behind King’s fiery rhetoric, with comments like, "Hopefully it runs out sooner than that. That mfer needs to be impeached and thrown in prison," and "I’m praying it runs out much sooner than that." Meanwhile, some fans humorously pointed out the precariousness of the situation, saying, "You’re assuming the bus can go on driving for 988 more days with someone who is clearly impaired at the wheel," alluding to concerns about the president's age and health.

But not everyone is on board with King’s anti-Trump crusade. Pro-Trump commenters suggested that the former president might just stick around longer than expected. One wrote, "I for one will watch you melt down for 8 more years," while another taunted, "He’s getting a third term if he’s still sharp. We need to make right what was stolen from us in 2020." Clearly, the divide is as deep as ever.

This isn’t King’s first rodeo in the political arena. The author of iconic works like IT and Carrie has consistently used his platform to voice opposition against Trump and MAGA. Back in October, he expressed support for No Kings protesters, stating they were "trying to save the country from a despot." He even remarked, "Dissing MAGA is like wrestling with pigs. You can’t win, and the pigs enjoy it," as protests erupted across the nation.

As the countdown continues, one thing is clear: Stephen King isn’t backing down from this battle anytime soon. His social media presence remains a battleground for his fierce critiques of Trump and his followers, ensuring that the conversation around politics—and horror—remains alive and well.
