Author Stephen King joined the club of accounts blocked by President Donald Trump on Tuesday after tweeting criticisms of his administration.

Trump has blocked me from reading his tweets. I may have to kill myself. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 13, 2017

In the past 24 hours, King tweeted: “Trump's cabinet offers a postgraduate-level course in ass-kissing,” referring to the recent cabinet meeting where the president had all of his cabinet members sing his praises.

Along with a criticism of the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump, who yesterday complained about the “level of viciousness” she’s seen towards the administration.

If Ivanka Trump had grown up in farm country, like some of us, she'd know her father is reaping exactly what he sowed. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) June 12, 2017

This isn’t the first time King has tweeted against the president.

Donald Trump: A remarkable combination of unhinged and dumb as dirt. Time to start talking impeachment. Really. Enough is enough. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) May 10, 2017

For a business guy, Trump is amazingly credulous. The last thing to go into his ear is the first thing that comes out of his mouth. — Stephen King (@StephenKing) March 7, 2017

Following the block, fellow bestselling author J.K. Rowling tweeted she would continue to DM Trump’s tweets to King.

I still have access. I'll DM them to you. https://t.co/MhibEYDBTg — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 13, 2017

King wasn't the only person blocked on Twitter by the president on Tuesday. Liberal veterans group VoteVets, former Army guard and Guantanamo Bay critic Brandon Neely and activist Jordan Uhl, were all blocked.

It's an honor to get blocked by a draft dodging coward like @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/gYfaugI4R0 — Brandon Neely (@BrandonTXNeely) June 13, 2017
