Stephen King[1] has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, but he’s really ramped things up recently.
At the end of last week, following Trump’s controversial comments about dictators[2] during a cabinet meeting, the horror author accused[3] the president of “turning America into a fascist, authoritarian state.”
Now King has shared his thoughts on X once again, this time making a prediction for the 2026 election.

“Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election,” wrote King[5]. “They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.”

Trump placed Washington D.C. under federal control and brought in the national guard[7] in a supposed crackdown on crime which drew widespread criticism[8], as did his recent plans[9] to extend this scheme to cities like New York and Chicago.
