Author Stephen King Bans President Donald Trump from “It” Movie

Among my least favorite parts of being active on Twitter is learning just how dumb many of the celebrities I grew up reading, watching, and listening to, are.

Who could forget the lengthy list of celebrities threatening to leave the country in the event of a Trump victory? Among them were Cher, Miley Cyrus, Lena Dunham, Barbara Streisand, Amy Schumer, Samuel L. Jackson, and many others. I think many of us were disappointed that they didn’t actually leave after hearing their clueless opinions all throughout the election cycle.

What’s even stranger is the so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” that many celebs seem to have. Take Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who spends her days tweeting as if she was sent by God to document the horrors of the Trump presidency.

I suppose that’s to be expected from a woman who made her billions specializing in fiction.

Another one of the crazies is horror author Stephen King, who actually enjoys being blocked by Trump on Twitter. J.K. Rowling came to the rescue on that front.

Months later, as the movie adaptation of his horror novel “It” is about to hit the screen, King is banning Trump from seeing it, apparently under the impression that doing so is within his power.

Can you even imagine why King thinks he could possibly block a sitting president from viewing his movie? Personally, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of a teenage cashier at a local movie theater informing Trump that he’s been banned by Steven King from seeing his movies.

Obviously this is just a publicity stunt, unless King actually is insane. But there is something good about it: Those sick of Hollywood shoving their political opinions down their throats are now launching a boycott. A thread went up on the massively popular subreddit “/r/The_Donald” urging its 500,000 subscribers to boycott the film.

The thread received over 300 comments, and 4,000 upvotes.

Will you be seeing “It”?

I may have to wait until I can borrow a copy on DVD.
