Post-verdict, author Stephen King also expressed his relief on platform X, writing: "The Republican candidate for President is a convicted felon."
A response to this read: "Import the Third World, become the Third World. That's what we just saw. This won't stop Trump. He'll win the election if he's not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family."
King retorted: "Sorry, Tucker. He did this to himself, having sexual intercourse with a porn star. Crookedy-crook-crook-crook."

She reflected somberly on social media: "No gloating here. It is a sad day for America. We are left to wonder how we ever elected such a person - who bragged he could grab women's genitals, called fallen soldiers 'losers', said McCain is not a hero because he likes people who don't get captured, said an amputee solder should not be in view of WH because it made him look bad. He does indeed look bad. Very bad. No space to list all of his nightmare doings here but you know- the stolen docs, the attempt to overthrow the election-ALL of it has to matter to all of us."
