Stephen King bans Trump from watching It

Maine - Stephen King is retaliating against President Donald Trump for blocking him on Twitter.

In a post late on Thursday, the Maine horror author said he would block Trump from seeing the upcoming movie It or the currently showing television series Mr. Mercedes, both based on his books.

King's tweet says "No clowns for you, Donald. Go float yourself."

SEE THE TWEET HERE:

The movie It is about a group of children who confront their fears while confronting the evil balloon-carrying clown, Pennywise. The movie is due out next month.

Mr. Mercedes is about a killer who drives a stolen Mercedes into a crowd. The series began airing earlier this month on the Audience network.

King was blocked by the president this summer. He has a long history of being critical of Trump.
