Biography Flash: Stephen King Unleashes Trump Insults While The Running Man Hits Theaters in Its Prophetic Year
Stephen King Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Stephen King has been remarkably active on social media over the past several days, continuing his pattern of politically charged commentary that's captured widespread attention. The 78-year-old author has been particularly vocal about current political figures, recycling Donald Trump's controversial insult against multiple targets. According to The Daily Beast, King used Trump's "quiet, piggy" remark—which the president directed at a female reporter earlier this month—at least six times this week alone, deploying it against right-wing activist Laura Loomer, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and various MAGA-aligned social media accounts. That same commentary drew thousands of interactions and kept King trending across X.
In another recent post that went viral, King described Trump's face as "the puffy, pouch-eyed face of an aging satyr," according to Gamereactor, a post that accumulated over four million views and thousands of comments within hours. King notably did not respond to the subsequent backlash, remaining steadfast in his left-leaning commentary that's become his trademark on social media.
On the professional front, The Running Man adaptation directed by Edgar Wright hit theaters on November 14th, 2025, featuring Glen Powell in the lead role. Interestingly, the 1982 novel was set in this exact year, and the film explores King's prescient vision of widespread poverty, corporate rule, and mass surveillance. While the movie earned solid reviews, industry reporting shows it underperformed at the box office, making around 28 million dollars worldwide so far—below expectations for a high-profile action film.
Looking ahead, King continues working on completing his remaining projects. According to USA Today, the prolific author revealed he's trying to clear his desk and isn't certain how much longer he'll continue writing. At 78, he noted he's "off the warranty" and can't take anything for granted. He has two major novels still in progress, including the final book in his Holly Gibney detective series.
The annual Stephen King Convention took place in Las Vegas in 2025, featuring appearances from notable figures like Mick Garris and Paul Suntup, along with numerous fans and dollar baby directors celebrating King's storied career.
