Yahoo News Stephen King trolls Donald Trump with hilarious 3-tweet horror story
Stephen King isn't the biggest Donald Trump fan in the world.
In fact that's an understatement. Even the most cursory of glances at the author's Twitter feed makes his views on the current U.S. president abundantly clear (he's previously referred him as both a "bad-tempered asshole" and a "rabid coyote with bad hair," among many other colourful descriptions).

This time, it started with Trump's bizarre Twitter rant about Obama tapping his phone.
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

In response, Stephen King did what he does best — he made up a quick story.
It began as a comedy.
Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker.

Then moved on to a kind of spy thriller.
Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a Con Ed coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD!

Finally, though, King returned to his home genre.
Trump should know OBAMA NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE! He's in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS!

His tweet has currently been shared well over 50,000 times. The story seemed to go down well.

Finally, there was this inspired suggestion.
If we can get @StephenKing's next novel to be about a US president slowly slipping into madness with some paranormal activity thrown in...

Sounds like a cross between The Shining and The Dead Zone — and really, who wouldn't read that?
