Gloves Off: Stephen King Calls Donald Trump A ‘Traitor To The American Way Of Life’

Though he’s been critical of failed one-term former president Donald Trump in the past, novelist Stephen King is now accusing Trump of being a traitor for remarks he made Saturday in South Carolina about how he would “encourage” Russia to attack NATO nations that don’t meet their financial obligations to the alliance.

As the Washington Post reported, “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?,’” Trump said during a rally at Coastal Carolina University. “I said, ‘You didn’t pay. You’re delinquent.’ He said, ‘Yes, let’s say that happened.’ No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.”

That was the breaking point for King, who expressed his disgust on social media.

King received plenty of support from others on Twitter/X.
