Author Stephen King shared a tweet that has drawn attention across social media. In the tweet, King joked about trying to find a word that rhymes with “Trump,” referring to U.S. President Donald Trump. King’s post was short but quickly got noticed by users online.
In the tweet, King wrote, “I’m trying to think of something good that rhymes with Trump, because he’s a big fan of mine. All I can think of so far are unflattering words like Dump, Hump, Clump, Bump, and Stump (as in ‘Dumb as a’).” This message appears to mock Trump in a light-hearted way, using simple rhyming words that carry negative or silly meanings.
The line “Dump, Hump, Clump” stood out to many people, as it seemed to show King trying to be funny while pointing at Trump’s style and behavior. The sentence continued with “Bump, and Stump (as in ‘Dumb as a’),” which also added to the mocking tone. King’s followers responded with a mix of laughter and agreement, while others who support Trump did not find it funny.
