Social media erupts after Stephen King makes false claim about Trump’s family: ‘What is this sh–?’

Rep. Steve King criticized Donald Trump on X, stating: “Trump has never had a child. He’s been married three times, ran several businesses into the ground, never ran a home or could make a bed to save his a–. He calls people he works with dumb, losers, etc. He’s never done sweat labor or served on a local committee.” King added that Trump “has no life experience.” The post quickly drew backlash from accounts like Libs of TikTok.

Trump literally has 5 kids. What is this sh–?” Libs of TikTok posted on X.

“Um… I’m pretty sure Donald Trump had children,” 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky posted on X.

Is there a 25th Amendment for taking peoples’ phones away?” Conservative writer Bonchie wrote on X.

“Donald Trump, famously childless,” conservative reporter Jerry Dunleavy jokingly wrote on X.

King’s comments come as Trump, who is the father of five children and is in his second presidential term, is set to address the country on Tuesday evening in the 2026 State of the Union, a report to Congress on the administration’s work.

King’s remarks mirror similar social media comments made about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a prominent progressive member of the House of Representatives, on Saturday.

In a tweet put up by an account called “Stacy is Right,” a self-described MAGA mother of three, the author similarly disparaged elements of Ocasio-Cortez’s life and background.

That post also mocks the Democrat for a lack of children, having never been married, never having run a business and never having had a “professional job.”
