Stephen King has gotten so used to writing fiction that he’s starting to make up his own history, as evident in this tweet about President Trump’s first week:
The ugliest first week of a presidency in the history of the American republic.

The ugliest in HISTORY, eh? Hrm.

We’re thinking the master of horror ‘no haz history.’
Or at least has an extremely narrow and uninformed view of what “ugliest” means. Luckily Twitter was happy to remind, enlighten and SCHOOL King with a brutal history lesson.

So not as bad as that one where the #RESISTANCE wore grey and owned slaves?

But Trump signed laws and did stuff he promised to do during his campaign, that’s WAY worse than the Civil War …
