{mosads}King has been a frequent critic of Trump and his policies. In March he wrote a short story in a series of tweets mocking Trump’s accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. He also called Trump “emotionally unqualified” for the presidency after the president attacked actress Meryl Streep on Twitter.
King’s comments come as lawmakers are pushing a bill that would deny Trump the authority to launch a first strike with a nuclear weapon without congressional approval.
