3. Excellent!!!

Love it!

He has such a way with words! And what an honor to be retweeted by. . . STEPHEN KING !

4. I remember when King thought Nixon was terrible

and his character in Dead Zone, Johnny Smith, had similar thoughts about Nixon.

Years later, Bush Jr's regime was so bad that King wrote a whole book about it, Under the Dome.

And then there was Trump. No Stephen King book about him. Imagine being so awful that even the "King" of horror doesn't try to depict you.

6. The Horror Wrote Itself...

to digest.

9. trump has beeen compared to Stillson from the Dead Zone

[wnylib]

10. Yes, I recognized similarities

between Stillson and Trump. But the differnces are:

1. Stillson's great threat is nuclear devastation. Trump's great threat is a fascist dictatorship that would imprison and annihilate minorities, while reducing everyone else to blind obedience or destruction.

2. Stillson wants a nuclear war. Trump has an aversion to foreign wars, despite his militaristic displays and verbal threats.

3. Stillson hides behind a child to protect himself. Trump openly abused immigrant children but did not use them as protective cover from an attack. He used them to bolster the anti foreigner mentality of his cult followers. Trump's recklessnes could have started wars, but, except for a couple bombings for show, he avoided it.

Their personalities and characters are similar, though.

7. I just had to do the hardest thing

You know the old question ‘if you could have a dinner party with 3 people living or dead who would they be?’

Well, I just had to un-invite Gandhi to make room for Jeff Tiedrich!

16. Good choice

I don't know how much Gandhi would enjoy a dinner party.

14. Love That Mental Visual

Oh I hope to see that soon!

15. No. No prison. Destroy his businesses.

Prison makes him a martyr.
Failure makes him a loser

[Bucky]

19. Of course. No one is banking on Trump doing time. Worst case scenario...

if it's all really falling apart on him, he'll pull a Ken Lay and slink off to some Corruption Island (probably off the Russian coast) or a secret dacha in the Crimea. Watch the news for a quiet announcement that he's switching over to his own private security.

20. And even THEN he'd keep a lot of his worshipers

amazing
