Stephen King Compares Trump to Cthulhu – and Cthulhu Issues Witty Response
During election “season” (which seems perpetual these days), online debates are common. You can’t turn a corner on the internet without running into an argument.
During election “season” (which seems perpetual these days), online debates are common. You can’t turn a corner on the internet without running into an argument.
But it isn’t every day that one gets to witness something this entertaining.
It all started with this Tweet from famed horror, science fiction, and fantasy writer Stephen King:
Breaking News: Reliable sources reveal that Donald Trump is actually Cthulu. The absurd hairdo isn't absurd at all. It hides the tentacles.

Cthulhu did not take too kindly to the comparison and released a statement in response to King’s comment:
Trump could barely hope to be 1/63 as great as I am if he weren't such a buffoon, @StephenKing pic.twitter.com/AKU0PFNoG2

The Twitterverse chimed in with its thoughts:

This is insulting and disrespectful. Those of us working hard campaigning for @cthulhu4america won't forget. https://t.co/dEPrFGrjLg

Eight years ago we elected the first non-white POTUS. This year, let's elect first (and last) horror of the deep, @cthulhu4america .

At this point, Chtulhu doesn’t seem like such a bad choice. Why vote for the lesser of two evils when The Greatest Evil is an option?
