Stephen King’s recent response to Donald Trump’s contempt of court ruling is making waves on social media, particularly among MAGA supporters who are expressing outrage.
Following Trump’s contempt of court ruling for violating a gag order in his New York hush money trial, Judge Juan Merchan fined him $1,000 per violation.

King took to X, formerly Twitter, to express his thoughts on the matter, stating, “The law-and-order guy found in contempt of court. Let me say it again: Contempt. Of court. Contempt.” While some users agreed with King’s sentiment, others criticized him, with one suggesting he should “stick to horror.”
Trump’s trial, which began on April 15, involves 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records to allegedly conceal payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 general election. Despite Daniels’ claims of an affair with Trump in 2006, he denies the allegations and the fraud charges against him.

King, a vocal critic of Trump, has been sharing his opinions on the trial, including remarks about Trump’s strategy, wealth, and recent speech referencing the Battle of Gettysburg. The author has suggested that if Trump were not wealthy, he would face harsher consequences for violating the gag order.
While King’s comments have stirred debate on social media, they highlight the ongoing scrutiny surrounding Trump’s legal battles and political ambitions.
