Author, Hollywood producer and anti-Trump leftist Stephen King says he doesn’t understand why people continue to support former President Donald Trump because he believes “most people are good” and that Trump is a “terrible person” who “behaves criminally”. .
“I think most people are good people,” King said in a recent interview. on Sundays. “Most people will give you the shirt from the back.”
“I think Trump is a terrible president and a terrible person,” he added. “I think he really committed criminal behavior and of course I felt like he was a sociopath trying to destroy American democracy not out of his own political desire but out of his inability to accept that it was lost.”
Therefore, King remained with an enigma for not understanding how the American people could still support the 45th President because most people believed he was good.
“I really don’t understand the people who continue to support [Trump]said the astonished writer.
King also admitted to accusing pro-Trump Republicans of being anti-American. on Sundays According to him, a man who “drives a pickup truck covered with Trump and NRA stickers” thinks he’s more likely to help a stranger stranded on the side of the road when it’s raining.

“The person behind the wheel of a pickup truck, covered in Trump and NRA stickers – you know, take my rifle when you ripped it off my cold dead fingers – will stop and pick up a stranger if he gets caught pour the rain and say: “Where are you going man?” – he said.
“This guy can do whatever it takes to get him there because people are good as individuals,” King added. “Sometimes I think they can be a problem when they’re a political group.”
King also acknowledged that there is a “strong right” in the United States and said he doesn’t really believe they are “fascists”.
“There’s a strong right wing in America, the political right, and some of their media have a warning,” he said. “They are not fascists, but they are poor. They really deny climate change, so that’s a real problem.”
Elsewhere in the interview, King shared his view on social media, which he calls “poison pills,” on issues such as opposing the results of the 2020 presidential election.
However, the author also said that social media can be “great” on other issues, noting their role in fueling the 2020 summer riots over the death of George Floyd.
However, King may need to practice what he preaches.
Last month, he used social media to spread fake news about the Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis (right) tweeted a false claim that the governor had signed a law that required Florida students and teachers to register their political views with the state.
Stephen King just posted a comment: “Sorry to post the title before I’m more sure the story is true. Salon is generally more reliable. Twitter is a continuous learning experience and I will try to get better.
