Author Stephen King has responded to Donald Trump's presidential election victory by sharing a social media post about the fragility of democracy.
Hours after polled closed on Tuesday, Trump was declared the winner of several battleground states. CNN had declared him the victor in Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Trump's win in Wisconsin took him over the finish line past the 270 Electoral College votes required to secure his path to the White House.
Arizona, Michigan, and Nevada remained too close to call, though Trump held leads over Vice President Kamala Harris in each of those states. Two Electoral College votes also remain to be awarded in Maine. As news of Trump's victory made headlines and trended on social media, horror writer King, who is a frequent critic of the former president, shared a post of his own.
Without directly naming Trump, King wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "There's a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT'S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy."
