Stephen King Just Tweeted A Modern Horror Story About Donald Trump And It’s Hilarious
It’s no secret that Stephen King isn’t really a fan of President Trump or his administration. Why be silent about your discontent when you could scream it from the mountaintops and Tweet about it excessively?
Trumpty-Dumpty promised a wall. Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall. Mexican woman & Mexican men wouldn't put Trumpty together again.

All politics aside, the Trump administration reminds me of that Tom Arnould movie, THE STUPIDS. Really, you guys, this is embarrassing.

Like most of us, the horror genius had quite the hay day after Trump’s tweet about the Obama administration wiretapping Trump Tower during the election.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

He decided to turn the Twitter moment into his own version of a (very realistic) horror story:
Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 4, 2017
The strawberry ice cream is a reference to a scene in The Caine Mutiny where Lieutenant Commander Philip Francis Queeg is convinced someone has been stealing strawberries from the officers’ mess and orders the crew to investigate.
But King’s story didn’t end there.
Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a Con Ed coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD!

SAD! indeed.
And for the biggest twist of all:
Trump should know OBAMA NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE! He's in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS!

Of course, every masterpiece has its criticism. Some people weren’t too fond of King’s tale. Perhaps it hits just a little too close to home?
This IS horror.

You used to have talent. What happened to you? Sad!

Others had their own additions to the story.
and he sneakily turned off all spell check functions on computers which explains a lot.

I hear Obama's getting together 9 other guys right now to pull a filmic heist on the white house

And Biden's skittering around the halls flipping the light switches on and off

@TheRealElvira I feel like we need to make a White House version of the game of clue

Now this is a movie I would actually pay more than $2 to watch. What do you say, Stephen? Make our dreams come true.
