Stephen King says Trump’s tariffs are ruining the economy? Right. This from the man who once wrote a book where a haunted clown lives in a drain. I’ll take my fiscal advice from Martin Lewis, thank you very much—not Pennywise the Pound-Wrecker!
The only thing Stephen King should be putting tariffs on is his word count. 700 pages to say ‘the dog was scary’? Come on, Steve—keep it tight! 🤷
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t trust horror writers on economics. If Edgar Allan Poe had handled the 2008 crash we’d all be living in basements with talking ravens and no heating!

@CorvusBlackthorne Honestly, I always suspected The Raven was less ‘gothic allegory’ and more ‘feathered chrononaut’.
So the bird’s from space, is it? Typical. Comes down, haunts a man for 84 lines, leaves no forwarding address. Very Area 51 meets Alan Bennet.
Hopefully you make a film about yourself- The Raven arrives in a steampunk TARDIS, quotes ‘Nevermore’, then lasers a Victorian banker. I’d watch it. Twice.
