Author Stephen King says people will deny they voted for Trump in the future

  • Stephen King, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, predicts that in 20 to 30 years, many people will deny having voted for him.
  • King draws a parallel to the Bobby Thomson home run anecdote, where more people claim to have witnessed it than were actually present.
  • The author stated he feels an obligation to express his opinions clearly, despite being aware that some of his readers may be Trump supporters.
  • King's 1979 novel The Dead Zone is often cited for its perceived prediction of Trump's presidency, though King expresses uncertainty about this.
  • He described Trump's time in office as a 'horror story' and suggested impeachment would be a 'good ending' for 'Trumpian America'.
