Horror master Stephen King got into the spirit of Donald Trump’s baseless claim that Barack Obama wiretapped his phones by turning it into a funny horror story that fits into a few tweets.

First, King tweeted that the nefarious deed was carried out by none other than Obama himself “wearing a Con Ed coverall” with Michelle Obama as a lookout: “SAD!” Obama also “stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker,” King tweeted.

But the real horror is that Obama never left the White House, King warns. “He’s in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS!”

Obama tapped Trump's phones IN PERSON! Went in wearing a Con Ed coverall. Michelle stood guard while O spliced the lines. SAD! — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 4, 2017

Not only did Obama tap Trump's phones, he stole the strawberry ice cream out of the mess locker. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 4, 2017

Trump should know OBAMA NEVER LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE! He's in the closet! HE HAS SCISSORS! — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 4, 2017

But seriously, King also tweeted that the whole affair reminded him of the movie “The Stupids.” It’s “embarrassing,” he wrote.

All politics aside, the Trump administration reminds me of that Tom Arnould movie, THE STUPIDS. Really, you guys, this is embarrassing. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 3, 2017

America got a rude awakening Saturday with a series of early-morning tweets from the president, claiming that Obama had wiretapped the phones at Manhattan’s Trump Tower before the election. Trump offered no evidence for this claim, which seemed to be based on a Breitbart article.

An Obama spokesman said the story was “simply false.” Former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes pointed out that presidents can’t order wiretaps.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

King was not the only one to respond with tweets to the president’s latest accusation.

But Sean Hannity was already asking: What did the former president know, and when did he know it?
