The acclaimed horror author - whose books include The Shining, It and Carrie, among many others - has nothing but total contempt for Trump and his right-wing politics.
King, 77, would like to see Trump's second term in office end with an impeachment.
Asked in a reader interview with The Guardian newspaper what he would write if he had to invent an ending for Trump's America, King replied: "I think it would be impeachment – which, in my view, would be a good ending. I would love to see him retired, let's put it that way. The bad ending would be that he gets a third term and takes things over completely."
"It's a horror story either way. Trump is a horror story, isn't he?"
Misery writer King has been an outspoken critic of Trump, 79, and used his X account to brand the White House incumbent a "spoiled child".
Posting on the social media platform, he wrote: Deep down in his heart, I believe Trump knows he's an incompetent a**hole.
"Trump is like a spoiled child. When he doesn't get his way, he throws a tantrum."
Trump has been impeached twice by the House of Representatives, but acquitted by the Senate on both occasions; first in 2019 for obstruction of Congress and secondly in 2021 after the Capitol attack that occurred on January 6 with the House of Representatives charging Trump with "incitement of insurrection" due to his allegations of election fraud.
