You don’t have to spend long on Stephen King’s Twitter feed to gain an insight into his feelings about the current U.S. President.

The legendary horror-writer has been tweeting his thoughts about Trump (who he’s previously referred to as a both “He Who Must Not Be Named” and “the Asshat Elect”) ever since the billionaire’s campaign kicked off back in summer 2015. As time’s gone on, the tweets have only grown in volume.

From evocative similes to outright anger, here’s a timeline of the author’s most memorable Trump shut-downs.

1. A few months into Trump’s election campaign, King drew this comparison.

Donald Trump: There hasn’t been a novelty act this annoying since Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) August 6, 2015

2. And this one.

Donald Trump is like the crazy, ranting uncle you hope your friends will never meet.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 6, 2015

3. This animal metaphor.

I can no longer tweet about Trump. That anyone in America would even CONSIDER voting for this rabid coyote leaves me speechless.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 9, 2015

4. And this even more descriptive animal metaphor.

Oh, look! A rabid coyote with bad hair won the South Carolina primary! Please clap!

Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 21, 2016

5. The time he compared Trump to one of his own evil characters.

Populist demagogues like He Who Must Not Be Named aren’t a new thing; see THE DEAD ZONE, published 37 years ago.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 15, 2016

6. The time he had an idea.

Say, here’s an idea! Let’s turn America’s nukes over to a bad-tempered asshole with no knowledge of foreign policy. What could go wrong?

Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 23, 2016

7. The time he shared this message with Republicans just before Trump’s nomination.

Congrats, Republicans! You’re about to nominate a thin-skinned racist with the temperament of a 3-year-old.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 5, 2016

8. The time he compared Trump to 37th U.S. President Richard Nixon.

One difference between Nixon and Trump: when the Republicans nominated Nixon, they didn’t actually KNOW he was a crook.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) July 21, 2016

9. The time he shared an extra from “the Book of Republicans”.

From the Book of Republicans: “Lo, we have many assholes running for President. Let us consider, and pick the biggest. And so it was done.”

Stephen King (@StephenKing) August 11, 2016

10. The time he got his dog, Molly (a.k.a. “The Thing of Evil”) involved.

Molly, aka the Thing of Evil, demonstrates what the world will look like after 4 years of Trump foreign policy. http://pic.twitter.com/He5Sl4RDfq

Stephen King (@StephenKing) September 14, 2016

11. This straight-to-the-point statement.

The more I read about and listen to Donald Trump, the more appalled I am. Not as a Democrat; as a human being. A genuinely nasty man.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 2, 2016

12. This evocative simile.

Electing Donald Trump to fix America would be like fixing eczema with a blowtorch.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 7, 2016

13. And this one.

Trump looks like a big ole sulky baby. Do we need a big ole sulky baby as President?

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 10, 2016

14. This simple shut-down during one of the debates.

Trump is up past his bedtime.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 10, 2016

15. His pitch for a new story.

My newest horror story: Once upon a time there was a man named Donald Trump, and he ran for president. Some people wanted him to win.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 21, 2016

16. This appeal to Trump voters.

Trump voters, please think again. Sure, you’re mad. I get that. But you don’t burn down the house because you don’t like the decor.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 27, 2016

17. This blunt summary.

Trump: Sexist oinker, tax dodger, draft dodger, pal of Putin, racist, serial liar, ANNNND…Republican candidate for president!

Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 1, 2016

18. The time he revealed who his dog was voting for.

Molly, aka the Thing of Evil, after believing Donald Trump was the CANDIDATE of evil, switches her allegiance to someone even worse. http://pic.twitter.com/ZkvrfPffE5

Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 2, 2016

19. His vision of Trump’s Christmas cards.

The President-elect prepares his Christmas cards to foreign leaders. http://pic.twitter.com/eRsM1lnccb

Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 22, 2016

20. The time he questioned Trump’s mental state.

Trump’s tweets display hysteria, aggression, paranoia, insecurity. Politics aside, his mental state bears close watching.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 2, 2016

21. Then followed it up with this.

Trump’s mental condition is open to debate, I suppose; that he’s an incompetent asshat seems undeniable.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 7, 2016

22. The time he shared his opinion on Trump’s cabinet.

Trump’s proposed cabinet is the worst in American history: a motley crew of plunder-monkeys.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 10, 2016

23. His depiction of Trump’s relationship with Putin.

Good elf Putin told Mr. Trump, I will help you win the election, but you will owe me. Mr. TRump said, Owe me or own me? Either okay with me!

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 16, 2016

24. This comment on the whole US voting system.

Clinton won the election by 3 million votesthat’s MILLIONand that idiot Trump is going to be president. What’s wrong with this country?

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 22, 2016

25. The time he came up with an inventive new nickname.

According to the Asshat Elect, we need more nukes. The guy’s probably right. We only have enough to destroy the world 120 times over.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 23, 2016

26. This Christmas eve message.

Americans have been very bad this year, but instead of coal in our stockings, we’re getting a big fat lump o’ Trump.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 24, 2016

27. The time he compared Trump and Obama.

One remarkable difference between Obama and Trump: the latter seems to have absolutely no sense of humor. The clearest sign of a dull mind.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 28, 2016

28. His comments on those explosive allegations.

The current Trump allegations may not be true, but seeing him fed a dose of his own nasty medicine has a certain rough justice.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 11, 2017

29. His pre-inauguration take.

I wish anyone other than Donald Trumpleft, right, or centerwere taking the Oath of Office tomorrow. My preference would be Barack Obama.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 19, 2017

30. And his thoughts during the ceremony.

Welcome to the age of plunder, bluster, and empty rhetoric. In other words, to the Age of Dumb. If you voted for him, you’re responsible.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 20, 2017

31. Not to mention his feedback after Trump’s first week.

The ugliest first week of a presidency in the history of the American republic.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 26, 2017

32. This appeal, which came in the wake of Trump’s travel ban.

if you call yourself a Christian, how can you support this latest Trump cruelty?

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 28, 2017

33. This memorable metaphor.

Imagine a hooligan pouring sugar into the gas tank of an expensive and well-maintained car. Trump is that hooligan. America is that car.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 29, 2017

34. This very frank description of Trump’s presidency.

If only Donald Trump was 5% as good at governing as he is at firing people of conscience. His presidency is a joke. Sadly, we’re the butt.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) January 31, 2017

35. This important explanation.

Trump’s view of fake news explained: “If it runs counter to what I believe or say, it’s fake. The facts are irrelevant.”

Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 1, 2017

36. This “extreme vetting” suggestion.

How about some extreme vetting of Donald Trump’s tax returns?

Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 1, 2017

37. This foreign policy update.

Today’s bummer: Trump screws up our relationship with Australia, a long-time ally. Our president is an impulsive, bad-tempered idiot.

Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 2, 2017

38. And finally, this no-nonsense shutdown.

Trump’s tweets are both malevolent and excruciatingly dumb. He comes off sounding lie a pro wrestling bad guy from 1965.
