Stephen King slams Donald Trump over something that

Stephen King was accused of being “duped” after he publicly criticized Donald Trump for something that did not occur.

The 78-year-old creator, dubbed the King of Horror, claimed that the president said he would not invite the Toronto Blue Jays to the White House after the team gained their first American League East Division title since 2015.

“Trump says he won’t invite either team playing in the World Series to the White House,” Stephen wrote on X.

“He can’t rise above his petty political concerns even for the great American game. If anything shows what a louse he is, that’s it.”

However, as famous by fact-checkers, Trump did not really make this assertion – as this declare was based on a fabricated screenshot that was not written by the president.

The put up, written in all-capital letters, which is Trump’s fashion of posting on-line, and widely shared on-line, said the US could be investigating the “un-American” team as they tried to “steal” the World Series, including they might not be invited to the White House.

“WE WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE UN AMERICAN BLUE JAYS WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL OUR BELOVED WORLD SERIES,” read the screenshot, which regarded like a put up by Trump on his Truth Social account.

“THEY WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.”

However, the White House confirmed to The Canadian Press that Trump had not written the put up – and it did not seem on his social media accounts.

Several people criticized Stephen for sharing the claims on his X profile, as a word pointed out, “The claim stems from a fabricated screenshot.

“Fact-checks and the White House affirm no such Trump put up exists; the picture got here from a satire account and never appeared on his platforms.”

A critic said, “You have been duped, yet again, Stephen. When will you study to look before you leap?”

A person tweeted, “Trump didn’t make that assertion, did he?” Another account said, “I do know you are an creator of fiction, Mr. King, however we do not want it right here.”

Someone else posted, “Steve…. Bro….. how about just making an attempt to be a very good particular person on right here man… you continue to repost or remark about issues that are lies. And apparent at that.”

One more wrote, “Yet that’s not true Stephen. He never said that. It comes from a satire account that made it up. I assumed you’d get better at checking assets after the last time you needed to apologize.”

“Actually, that wasn’t a put up from Trump,” someone else said. “Yes I do know it feels like something he’d say however he did not.”

A person added, “You would suppose a best-selling creator would take the time to examine his sources before publishing.”

As a vocal Trump critic, Stephen backed this month’s No Kings rallies, saying those attending the protests are “making an attempt to avoid wasting the nation from a despot.”
