Stephen King minces no words with his opinion of Donald Trump

11. I love how he always brings up racism and bigotry in his Novels.

Of course his protagonists are on the right side, and they take offense at the nasties that other characters in the book reveal.

I think King is a nice and kind man. I don't think he lives flamboyantly with his money either. He's more interested in family and writing than in fame and wealth. I mean, I'm sure he is happy to be well off, but he is well grounded. At least that is the impression I get of him.

It's funny, he wrote Misery, where the author has shattered legs, and his keeper, Annie even adds to his pain and fear by adding more injury, and this guy has to deal with all this pain and fear and frustration. Then in real life, King was walking on the side of the road and a van hit him and shattered his legs. I know it took a long time to heal and rehab from that, but it makes me wonder if he was weirded out about the connection of his writing about it and then it happens to him (without the hostage taking).

He is an interesting man. Not the best writer I've read, but I like a number of his books, and even have a few in my permanent collection. And I few I'd like to add. They are easy reads, and fun and I learn a lot about him through the personal little notes he throws in there. He loves to talk to his readers.
