Stephen King, the iconic author behind countless horror classics, has taken another shot at Donald Trump, this time, questioning his literacy skills. Currently working on a CGI remake of his 1983 film Cujo, King had been relatively quiet since defending a controversial joke aimed at Trump’s baseless claim that undocumented Haitian immigrants were eating pets. Now, King has spoken out once more to criticize Trump.
Those of you who are following the president on the social media are well aware that Trump is sharing most of his thoughts on Truth Social, and most of his posts raise eyebrows and stir the conversation online.
One of Trump’s most recent social media posts aimed at Washington DC’s crime read: “I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital.
“The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong.”
Reacting to this post, King wrote, “Can you possibly trust a President who can’t spell, has serious problems with grammar, and capitalizes at random? I think not. A President who can’t write can’t think. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
While it’s entirely true that Trump capitalizes random word, that are otherwise not capitalized, a number of his supporters defended him.
One person wrote, “You’re a writer. He’s a businessman, and leader. You ever looked at your doctor’s writing. Do you trust your doctor, given the fact that he can barely scribble?”
Another added: “Just because you can write doesn’t say much for a person.”
A third person expressed disagreement with the famous author, writing, “Grammar is not a measure of intelligence. Stay in your lane,” while a fourth one added: “With all due respect, Stephen, that feels a bit unfair. Plenty of people struggle with spelling or grammar who’d still do a far better job than Trump.
“The issue isn’t typos – it’s the incoherent, erratic way he communicates. That reflects thinking, not just writing.”
However, there were also those who were on board with King.
“One of the best takes I’ve seen all day,” one person agreed and added: “His lack of coherent writing ability signals so much more than people are recognizing.”
“A president who confuses Alaska with Russia should not be president,” noted another following Trump’s incorrect claim that he was meeting Vladimir Putin in his home country.
“Stephen, you’re spot on,” added someone else. “A president who can’t spell, who butchers grammar, and sprays random capital letters is not a leader – he’s a global embarrassment.”
