It doesn't matter whether it's a 1000+ page novel or a 280-character tweet — Stephen King knows how to make his words count.

And when it comes to the U.S. president, he really makes them count.

The horror master has a long, well-documented history of Donald Trump burns, but the looming impeachment appears to have sent King into overdrive.

Can't really make it any clearer than that, can you?

King's tweet has over 25,000 shares at the time of writing. Plenty of people were echoing his sentiments in replies, too.

Probably a good thing King picked up his National Medal of Arts when Barack Obama was president, and not the man currently in charge.

The ceremony would have been super awkward — if it happened at all.
