Popular fiction writer Stephen King is not jumping on the Trump Train, according to an article written by Jeremy Lott for the Washington Examiner. The article features two tweets by Stephen King. No matter what you think of President-elect Donald Trump or writer King, King’s tweets are a word lover’s dream.

The “Plunder-Monkey” tweet:

A “motley crew of plunder-monkeys” is wonderfully descriptive, but not of Trump or any of his cabinet choices so far. Apparently, Mr. King has not read anything but his own novels for the last 30 years and doesn’t realize how Hillary Clinton and her ilk (I love the word “ilk”) have enriched themselves at the public trough. Talk about “plunder monkeys”.

Perhaps Mr. King could leave Maine long enough to read the biographies of the men and women that Donald Trump has so far selected for his cabinet. General Officers Flynn, Mattis and Kelly, entrepreneur Linda McMahon, national security expert K.T. McFarland. Nope, no “plunder-monkeys” in that group.

King also tweeted:

“Hysteria, aggression, paranoia and insecurity” sounds like a law firm for Hillary Clinton. Maybe Mr. King was confused since it was Hillary who had a serious meltdown. According to a post in the Independent Journal Review:

Perennial Clinton critic R. Emmett Tyrell claims she suffered a meltdown, according to a purported Secret Service source:

Sources have told The American Spectator that on Tuesday night, after Hillary realized she had lost, she went into a rage. Secret Service officers told at least one source that she began yelling, screaming obscenities, and pounding furniture. She picked up objects and threw them at attendants and staff. She was in an uncontrollable rage. Her aides could not allow her to come out in public. It would take her hours to calm down. As has been reported for years, her violent temper got the best of her. Talk about having a temperament ill-suited for having access to the atomic bomb. So Podesta went out and gave his aimless speech.

Election 2016 seems to have turned a lot of older, white people (Sally Field, George Clooney, Barbara Streisand and Mr. King) into hysterical, pearl clutchers screaming “The end is near”. They are all falling apart like cheap luggage. Which reminds me…they aren’t leaving the U.S.A.

Yesterday, I went to a Christmas Tea Fundraiser held by the local Daughters of the British Empire. This year, part of the funds raised will go to our East Tennessee neighbors devastated by fires and tornadoes. Every year, one of the husband’s of the DBE recites a poem. Dressed in his best kilt, he sends up the tea, the culture and anything else he can rhyme. After criticizing Mr. Trump, Mr. Perkins proclaimed the line, “Maybe it’s time to Make America Great…Britain, again”.

Thanks, but no thanks. A Constitutional Monarchy is lovely. I prefer our Constitutional Republic. Messy Electoral College, loopy celebrities and in this totally weird year (Cleveland won, Chicago won, Trump won and yesterday, Army won), watching everyone gazing at their navels and wondering what happened is totally worth it.
