Author Stephen King, who has made millions writing fascinating stories, has either lost his mind or is pitching his latest story idea.
According to King, President Donald Trump doesn’t have any kids.
The famed horror author and staunch liberal went on a social media tirade yesterday unloading into President Trump’s personal life, including a line claiming that Trump has no children.
“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 a–. Calls people he works with dumb, losers, ect. Has never done sweat labor. Has never served on a local committee,” King said in a post to X.
“[He] has no life experience,” King added.
Trump:

calls people he works with dumb, losers, etc.
Has never done sweat labor
Has never served on a local committee

Trump of course DOES have children — five to be exact.
Trump has five children from three marriages, including Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump with Ivana Trump, Tiffany Trump with Marla Maples, and Barron with Melania Trump.
King’s bizarre claim was immediately met with backlash across social media.
“Trump literally has 5 kids. What is this sh–?” Libs of TikTok posted on X.
“Um… I’m pretty sure Donald Trump had children,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky posted on X.
“Is there a 25th Amendment for taking peoples’ phones away?” Conservative writer Bonchie wrote on X.
“Donald Trump, famously childless,” conservative reporter Jerry Dunleavy wrote on X.
King’s theory, as wild as it is, is not drawing new ire as some speculate that he ripped off the wild claim after a prominent conservative figure wrote something similar (and disparaging) about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In a Saturday tweet put up by an account called “Stacy is Right,” a self-described MAGA mother of three, the author similarly ripped into Ocasio-Cortez’s life and background.
That initial post also mocks the Democrat for a lack of children, having never been married, never having run a business and never having had a “professional job.”
“[She] has no real life experience. Is a typical deadbeat socialist,” Stacy is Right said in her post.
AOC…
Has never had a child.
Has never been married.
Has never ran a business.
Has never run a home.
Has never managed people.
Has never held a professional job.
Has never served on a local committee.
Has no real life experience.

However, King reshared that post before putting up his own remarks about Trump, leading some to conclude that King was ripping off someone else’s “idea.”
“You literally plagiarized an entire post…which was about AOC… and then applied it to Trump…… for whom it isn’t true and doesn’t make any sense. Why are you plagiarizing? I thought you were a writer?” Matt Van Swol, a former Department of Energy nuclear scientist, posted on X.
King’s Monday tired (whether original or not) isn’t the first time King has taken to X to vent his disdain for Trump.
“Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dipsh–! Goes double for Elon!” King said in a post in February 2025.

“Trump is ruining the economy with his stupid tariffs,” King said in another instance in April.
