The Shining may be scary, but Stephen King thinks something-or rather, someone- is far, far more frightening.

King recently tweeted that president Donald Trump's tweeting indicate he's an "almost textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder" and that he's "worse than any horror story I ever wrote." I mean, he's not wrong.

Of course, this isn't the first time King has spoken out about Trump. He wrote a not-so-subtle campaign slogan suggestion-"IF YOU'RE WHITE, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT! ANY OTHER HUE, I DON'T TRUST YOU." Turned out to be disturbingly on par.
