Stephen King known as out for making weird declare about Donald Trump’s youngsters

Left-leaning horror writer Stephen King was met with a flood of criticism Monday after a bizarre social media rant that claimed Donald Trump ‘has never had a child.’  

Trump, in fact, has five children – Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron. 

Onlookers on X were quick to point that out.

Other claims in King’s post – like that the president ‘has no life experience’ – were ridiculed as well.

The post read in full: ‘Trump: Has never had a child. Has been married 3 times[.] Ran several businesses into the ground[.] Never ran a home, couldn’t make a bed to save his ass.  

‘Calls people he works with dumb, losers, etc. Has never done sweat labor[.] Has never served on a local committee. Has no life experience.’

It drew a response from Trump’s eldest, Donald Jr.

‘Well, this is news to me… unless he means birthed a child which would also hold true for every male ever. TDS is real and it’s scary,’ Trump Jr., 48, wrote.

Stephen King claimed President Donald Trump ‘has never had a child,’ among other things, in a post to X late Sunday

The post read: ‘Trump: Has never had a child. Has been married 3 times[.] Ran several businesses into the ground[.] Never ran a home, couldn’t make a bed to save his ass. Calls people he works with dumb, losers, etc. Has never done sweat labor… Has no life experience’

‘Trump literally has 5 kids. What is this sh*t?’ Libs of TikTok questioned.

Conservative writer Jerry Dunleavy quipped, ‘Donald Trump, famously childless.’  

Others, like 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky and conservative blogger Bonchie, got in on the action as well.

‘Is there a 25th Amendment for taking peoples’ phones away?’ Bonchie asked, about a year removed from King’s abrupt return to X in 2025 after leaving in protest of then-new owner Elon Musk in 2023.

Almost immediately, the author called Trump ‘a traitorous, Putin-loving dipshit’.

In April, King, 78, took to X to claim Trump was ‘ruining the economy with his stupid tariffs.’

Just last month, the author framed United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as ‘the American Gestapo.’

The attacks have not been limited to Trump, with King falsely claiming that conservative activist Charlie Kirk ‘advocated stoning gays to death’ just days after the 31-year-old’s death in September.

Trump’s eldest was one of several to pan the writer for his mistake, which remains up as of writing

‘I apologize for saying Charlie Kirk advocated stoning gays,’ King tweeted hours later after deleting the tweet and a storm of backlash.

‘What he actually demonstrated was how some people cherry-pick Biblical passages,’ King clarified. He also admitted he had not ‘fact-checked’ his post. 

The author has since penned a post Monday slamming Trump for his repeated use of the phrase ‘fake news’.

The Daily Mail has approached King for comment. The widely panned post about the president’s accomplishments, meanwhile, remains up, as of writing.

Trump shares Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka with first wife Ivana, has a second daughter Tiffany with ex-wife Marla Maples and shares his youngest son, Barron, with wife Melania.
