Stephen King Bans Trump from Seeing It as Revenge for Twitter Blocking: No Clowns for You, Donald

Earlier this summer, horror fiction master Stephen King was blocked on Twitter by President Donald Trump. And now, King is seeking vengeance.
“Donald Trump blocked me on Twitter. I am hereby blocking him from seeing IT or MR. MERCEDES. No clowns for you, Donald. Go float yourself,” King tweeted late Thursday.
King’s latest movie adaptation, It — based on his iconic novel about the murderous clown Pennywise — hits theaters Sept. 8. King also banned Trump from watching his TV thriller series, Mr. Mercedes, which premiered on the Audience network earlier this month.
