Author Stephen King's criticism of Trump backfires after falling for fake World Series post.

Stephen King's Critique of Trump Backfires Over Fake Post

Stephen King faced backlash from fans after criticizing Donald Trump based on a fake post. The author expressed frustration on social media, wrongly believing Trump had not invited the World Series winners to the White House. Fans quickly pointed out that the post King referenced was not genuine.

It was revealed that King fell for a satirical post that went viral during the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays. This incident marks the second time in recent months that King unintentionally shared fake news on social media.

The White House issued a statement praising both World Series teams as exceptional and deserving of their place in the series. Melania and Donald Trump sent best wishes to the players, coaches, and fans for a safe and enjoyable series.

In a previous incident, King had to apologize for spreading misinformation about Charlie Kirk advocating for stoning gays. The author acknowledged his mistake, deleted the post, and vowed to fact-check before sharing information in the future.

Trump's reaction to an anti-tariff advertisement during the World Series led to tensions with Canada. Trump criticized the ad and announced a 10% tariff increase on Canadian goods. This move comes amid ongoing efforts to negotiate trade deals between the two countries.
