Stephen King trolls Trumps wiretapping tweets as only a horror writer could

By Avi Selk March 5 at 12:57 PM

There’s a fan theory that best-selling author and master of horror fiction Stephen King predicted the rise of Donald Trump in his novel about a clairvoyant who foresees a demagogic salesman win the U.S. presidency and start a global war.

Flash-forward to the present, in which President Trump, without offering any evidence, accused his predecessor of wiretapping his campaign offices, and King mocked him with a horror story, told in three tweets.

Read the tweets here, they are funny. lol

Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker.

Back to the horror story that Trump’s tweets inspired. Chapter 2 of the “Home Invasion of Donald Trump,” by Stephen King:

Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a Con Ed coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD!
