Stephen King didn’t hold back in calling Donald Trump a “senile aunt” for his complaints about renewable energy, sharks, and other topics at an event in Las Vegas.
King, a vocal Trump critic, frequently takes jabs at the former president on social media. Following a rally in Las Vegas, King took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize Trump’s speech.
In a post that garnered over 900,000 views, King compared Trump’s ramblings to “your old uncle talking at dinner after his third drink.”
During the rally, Trump went off on a tangent about shark attacks and electric cars, leading to a quirky analogy about being on a sinking boat with a shark nearby.
Response to King’s post was mixed, with some agreeing with his critique of Trump’s remarks, while others criticized King in return.
Despite the backlash, King is unwavering in his criticism of Trump, having been a staunch Democrat since 1970. He even openly opposed Trump’s candidacy in 2016 and supported Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
