This isn't the first time Stephen King has used a comparison to a former President to blast Donald Trump on Inglorious Bitches (2011)Twitter, and -- judging by the horror master's previous tweets -- it probably won't be the last.
Following Friday's news that George H. W. Bush had died at the age of 94, Stephen King took to Twitter to make a comment about presidential debates.

King is referring to the footage from a 1992 debate in which George H. W. Bush looked at his watch during a question about the recession -- a moment which people have subsequently written about as being very damaging for Bush.
A quarter of a century after that infamous moment, though, the most recent run of debates have included numerous allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump and a quote from a criminal and civil rights lawyer calling him a "Vietnam draft dodger".
Since the news of George H. W. Bush's death broke, various tributes -- and comparisons to the current president -- have been made. It's worth noting, however, that there have also been a number of voices on Twitter highlighting the more complicated aspects of Bush Senior's legacy.
