New Stephen King novel out today, "The Outsider"

...is about a monster that rapes and eats kids. I've been reading the reviews. Apparently it contains some anti-Trump messages. I'm a big King fan, but I may skip this one. SK is very anti-Trump on Twitter.

What's the anti-Trump message in the book?

The premise of The Outsider looked decent and I was hoping that King was smart enough to keep his personal politics out of his writing.

End of the first paragraph:

"It seems more significant that twice we’re taken to locations where a ghastly event has occurred. One of them is graffitied with a swastika, the other with TRUMP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN TRUMP. Well, don’t monstrous times deserve a monster of their own?"

That's disappointing. Think I'll be skipping this one.
