Stephen King blocks Donald Trump from IT

Stephen King’s Twitter war with Donald Trump isn’t over yet.

After being blocked on Twitter by Trump in June, the famous horror writer got revenge on the President Thursday evening by declaring that he’d be returning the favor — by blocking Trump from seeing the upcoming film “IT” and television series “Mr. Mercedes,” both based on works by King.

“Donald Trump blocked me on Twitter. I am hereby blocking him from seeing IT or MR. MERCEDES. No clowns for you, Donald. Go float yourself,” King tweeted.

1. Did You Notice What Stephen King Did Not Say?

"Mr anything."

[Cryptoad]

4. Everybody,,,,,,, I mean Everbody,,,,

should block "mr anything" Don the Con on their Tweet account!

[Control-Z]

2. Good publicity.

I will now make a point of watching!! I hope a lot of people do the same.

[rurallib]

3. and you can watch knowing that a rich arrogant narcissistic asshole can't see it.

5. Why would Trump pay to see a horror movie about a clown when

he can watch pretty much the same thing by looking in a mirror?

[meow2u3]

7. You summed it up perfectly!

DUzy!

6. I've been reading King since Carrie was published in the 70s

I love his loyalty to his Maine background and enjoy so many of his social references, since we're just a couple of years apart.

But he outdoes himself with his takedowns of 45.

SK ought to be in the Oval Office instead of the bloviating poseur.

8. His tweets have been great!

I commented to him that he has been the one to help me learn to face horror in real life by seeing it in stories.
He has had some awful characters that remind me very much of this president. Part Randall Flagg and very much Greg Stillson.

17. And Steve Bannon as Trash-Can Man n/t

[logosoco]

18. Perfect!

Combine Kelly Ann Conway with Betsy DeVos for Carrie's mom!!!

[spiderpig]

19. And Stephen Miller as Randall Flagg.

[politicat]

21. Big Jim Rennie.

That's the one that terrifies me. (I know Rennie is basically LePage, but he's also the Mango Mendacity.)

[orangecrush]

9. ...

[NewJeffCT]

10. How does he do that?

Does he not give permission for it to be screened at the White House?

[xor]

11. I don't think he literally means it, but it is more of a symbolic thing.

I would imagine he had a cheeky little smirk on his face as he said that. I find amusing and it totally fits the ridiculousness of the thing called Trump.

[Initech]

12. Kind of hard to go see a horror movie when you're running a horror show!

[Doug the Dem]

13. King can't prevent Trump from seeing the movie

We all know that. So how is this news?

[Bayard]

14. Go Stephen Go!!!

The clown's hair in It is reminiscent of Rump's.

I've been a big fan ever since Salem's Lot made me nail my crawl space shut.

[Demsrule86]

16. I love Salem's Lot and the Shining...the book was amazing and the mini-series was better than the

movie in my opinion.

[Demsrule86]

15. I am a big fan of IT...both the book and the mini-series with John Ritter...I can hardly wait!

I also want to see Mr. Mercedes. A mini-series is perfect for his books because you need more time often than a movie allows.

20. Pennywise the Clown is the ultimate horror for those of us with coulrophobia.

The scariest scene for me in Poltergeist was the grinning clown perched in the little kid's bedroom. And then... ("I hate you! I hate you!" )

Incidentally, Poltergeist's director Tobe Hooper died yesterday.

[Demsrule86]

22. God yes...That clown was terrifying. Sad to hear about Hooper. Poltergeist is one of my

favorite movies.
