‘I’m sorry for you’: Stephen King is burning down Trump’s house of lies

Stephen King just took to X to directly challenge those who believe President Trump’s recent claims about Iran. “If you believe that Trump is telling the truth about serious talks with Iran, I’m sorry for you,” King posted, throwing his hat into the ring amidst escalating tensions and conflicting reports from the White House.

Recently, per CNBC, Trump made some pretty bold statements stating that his “preference would be to take the oil” in Iran, even comparing it to the US military operation in Venezuela earlier this year. Trump even complained, saying, “some stupid people back in the U.S. say: ‘why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” before mentioning the possibility of seizing Iran’s export hub, “Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options.”
