'Incompetent a******': Stephen King delivers his most brutal takedown of Donald Trump yet

Stephen King makes it no secret how he feels about US president Donald Trump, but followers are saying his latest takedown on X might just be his most brutal yet.

The author of 'It' and 'The Shining' has been jibing at the president ever since the election, and most recently, posted an AI-generated image of Trump as a taco, in reference to the 79-year-old getting the nickname 'Taco Trump' (It stands for 'Trump always chickens out' if you were wondering).

But, among the creativity, sometimes the most simplistic insults are the best, and a post by King on 20 June has 62,000 likes to prove it.

"Deep down in his heart, I believe Trump knows he's an incompetent a******", he penned on X.

If he was trying to summarise how people feel about his recent moves, which include paving over the White House's Rose Garden, shrugging off ICE raids in Los Angeles sparking nationwide protests, or his overuse of the phrase 'two weeks' to describe him taking no action on, well, anything, then that's a pretty good way of phrasing it.

"I think he spent a lot of time in front of a mirror saying the opposite until he tricked himself into believing it", one person responded.

"You credit him with more introspection than I do", another added.

"What heart?", another joked.

We'll be sat back patiently waiting for the next one. Your move, King.
