Trump's trip to the UK has been fairly eventful so far -- and it's only one day in.

Over the past 24 hours, the president has managed to get into a beef with London's mayor Sadiq Khan (that was before the plane even landed), incur the grassy wrath of a giant penis, and prompt some fairly creative protests across the capital.

Then, on Monday evening, he had dinner with the royal family.

On hand to offer some thoughts on the occasion was horror writer and regular Trump burner, Stephen King.

Yep: unsurprisingly, King was keen to remind people that he is a long way from Trump's number one fan.

It's not the first time King has gone after Trump on Twitter, and it almost certainly won't be the last.
