Stephen King makes his grand return to X by calling Donald Trump four words we cannot repeat

At long last, the king of Twitter (the use of the old name is intentional) has returned, with Stephen King making his grand entrance back to the platform with some expected (and deserved) words for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. 

Of course, there was a time when such commentary from the author was commonplace, but newly reinstated X page; “I’m baaaack! Did you miss me?”

I’m baaaack! Did you miss me?

The answer is a resounding YES! Since our collective X feeds have been in dire need of King’s consistent (and often hilarious) ability to keep the president and his loyalists in check. And that’s exactly what he did, catching up for lost time with an all-encoming takedown of Trump and his bestie, FLOTUS and partner in crime. “Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dips***!” King wrote, clearly relishing in his newfound ability to shout into the Musk-owned void. Speaking of such, don’t think for a second that King forgot to name-drop the billionaire. 

“Goes double for Elon!” he added, reviving a feud with Musk that stretches back to 2023. Oh, we’re so back, baby! Of course, the actual content of King’s post is just as worthwhile as his post-Blue Sky return, with the author obviously addressing Trump’s seeming kinship with the Russian President in recent weeks. While he has long had an affinity for the dictator, Trump’s second term has seen him forge even closer ties with Putin, to the point where he this week wrongly accused Ukraine of starting the conflict with Russia. 

Yep, Trump is siding with the invader, and eventhreat to jail of the free press? 

Or even the fact-checker for the umpteenth lies told by the Tesla owner. 

I'm leaving Twitter. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Threads, if you like.

Before that, he rightfully took to X to wasn’t the only notable name to flock to Blue Sky amid Musk’s ascendance — ing the likes of Mark Hamill and George Takei — we sure are glad that the King is back!
