Leftist horror author Stephen King has tried to smear President Donald Trump as a “sexual predator.”
King pushed the false claim in response to the verdict of a politically-motivated civil case against Trump.
The E. Jean Carroll case took place in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
On Tuesday, Trump was found liable for battery by a jury.
The jury also found that Trump defamed Carroll when he denied her allegations against him, ordering the 45th president to pay a total of $5 million in damages.
King suggested in a tweet that as a result of the trial, “Donald Trump can now add ‘Sexual Predator’ to his resume.”

Trump has disputed the jury’s findings, however.
In a Truth Social post, Trump declared:
“I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS.
“THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE,” Trump blasted.
“A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!”
In response to King’s post on Twitter, many defended Trump.
Others mocked King for his suggestion that Trump is a “sexual predator.”
Twitter user “Deplorablican” told King, “I’m sure you are on the Epstein list.”
Another Twitter user, Clara Jones, added, “This is why Hollywood never demands to see Epstein’s list, they are all on it and they know Trump is not”

“Wonder why it took almost 30 years for this woman to come forward???” one Twitter user asked.

Meanwhile, Trump has vowed to appeal the jury’s verdict.
“Waiting for a jury decision on a False Accusation where I, despite being a current political candidate and leading all others in both parties, am not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard-nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday, hours before the verdict was announced.
“In the meantime, the other side has a book falsely accusing me of Rape, & is working with the press.
“I will therefore not speak until after the trial, but will appeal the Unconstitutional silencing of me, as a candidate, no matter the outcome!” he added.
