Stephen King just keeps steppin’ in it.
Maybe the “King of Horror” should just stick to writing fiction because clearly this whole tweeting politics thing just isn’t his strong point.
What, did he think if he said something smug and pretentious in a kinder and gentler way it wouldn’t piss people off?
I say this gently and kindly: If you voted for Trump and still think he's doing a good job, you haven't been paying attention.

Were you paying attention the previous eight years?

And seriously, to accuse Trump supporters of not paying attention for a few months when Obama supporters didn’t pay attention for eight long years?
Self-awareness FAIL.
Yes – voted for him; Yes – think he's still doing a good job. https://t.co/IIimWLUbPg

Trump voters weren’t about to allow King to talk down to them:
We wanted a strong leader who we know is actually for Americans and our values.

If literally doing what he promised during the election instead of other politicians lying…than I am proud to be a American.

@StephenKing , I love your fiction and you're my all-time favorite author, but you don't know jack about people who voted for Trump.

How about stick to writing books. A lot of us who " aren't paying attention " buy your books……oh I mean Used To Buy Your Books

Gosh, this went well.
Maybe Stephen needs to pay more attention to who his readers are (or were)?
