Best-selling author Stephen King has once again taken to X to denounce Donald Trump, offering voters yet another reason why they shouldn’t support the former president. King, 77, is well-known for being a vocal critic of Trump, previously comparing him to a drunk “senile uncle.”

In his most recent social media rant against the Republican presidential nominee, the prolific horror author called out Trump for refusing to release his medical records. “Trump is past his sell-by date,” King tweeted on Saturday (October 5). “Don’t vote for an old man who won’t release his medical records.”

With President Joe Biden, 81, bowing out of the presidential race in July, Trump, 78, now has the possibility of becoming the oldest sitting president. He would be 82 at the end of his potential second term.

Yet, despite his advanced age, Trump has refused to provide any glimpse into his records. When asked about his health in 2015, he provided a four-paragraph letter from his doctor, who claimed he would be the “healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.”

1. Many people are saying...

....that Trump won't release his medical records because he's been diagnosed with dementia. I don't know, but that's what I heard.

[dchill]

7. I'll tell everyone! 😁

[Skittles]

2. not a big fan of the age thing

I think the majority of Trump's issues have nothing to do with age.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. King is trolling him

They are only a year difference in age.

[localroger]

11. That's why SK's jabs hit so hard

I may be mistaken, but I don't think TFG has ever replied to a SK xeet. Trump knows that King has the mojo. Even if TFT doesn't realize what a bumbling doofus he resembles in public, he knows King can call him on old guy health issues and produce the receipts.

14. King is one of the few who must creep him out

which is interesting... although given the genre that he excelled at, I suppose he realizes King can easily get under his skin and deep into what little brain there is.

8. A "majority"?? Maybe................maybe not......

We know he's a fucking moron. His rapidly declining mental (and physical) health only exacerbate his imbecility.

12. You don't have to be old to be crazy.

[Skittles]

13. it's just that I have seen many senior folk do amazing jobs

I don't like the use of age as derogatory when this guy has been a piece of utter shit as long as I can remember

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Biden is an outstanding example of doing an amazing job. . . . nt

[tavernier]

18. Absolutely! I'm his age and guaranteed can run circles around him.

But I have no doubt that he is a deranged sociopath and always was.

[DENVERPOPS]

21. There are exceptions

I knew a retired United Airlines Pilot that flew his private, single engine plane all over the U.S. until he was 96. When the FAA forced Airline pilots to retire at age 62, he felt it was pure stupidity on their part.......(He had already amassed 36,000+ hours with United by that time)

He passed every single Medical Exam to fly for over 30 more years, and was sharp as could be.......

At his 95th Bday party, held in a hanger, with hundreds of past United Pilots, and United executives, and friends, I said to him:
"you have to be the oldest pilot in America".........He pointed to a plane just then landing to come to the party, and said no he is".........
The pilot of the plane that just landed came up to us to greet the former United Pilot. The former United pilot, turned to me, and introduced the guy to me, and said "No, he is the oldest pilot in America still flying, and he is turning 100 next month"
LOL LOL LOL LOL..........

Sadly, out of nowhere, he got pancreatic cancer the next year, and was gone in a few months.......May he rest in peace......

20. Trump is brainwashed

Stephen Miller has turned Trump's Brain to immigrate hateing mush

[BootinUp]

19. This is about medical records for a fat old fuck. Nt

[Skittles]

22. I don't CARE about his medical records

you know he would use QUACK DOCTORS

[BootinUp]

24. Valid point, and that could be raised as well.

I think the Harris campaign should throw the kitchen sink at this sick crook.

[Montauk6]

3. HE CAN'T RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS!

After all, he's still under an IRS audit.

[Shermann]

4. Yeah, my concern is that Vance wouldn't be able to seamlessly take over and accomplish nothing as effectively. nt

[JoseBalow]

5. How long until Leon boots him off Xhitter?

[BattleRow]

9. Too long

[JoseBalow]

23. Can't expect everyone to be a fan

[SWBTATTReg]

10. tRUMP is expired, and this coming Nov. 2024, we'll let him know in no uncertain words via our vote that he's over

and done w/, forever!

Never again will we ever have such a POS in the WH, or staining the hallways of our government wherever he goes.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. DoneOld . . . . nt

16. I had a neighbor once who was in the habit of leaving his Halloween pumpkin out 'til Christmas or so

Looked just like Cheeto.
