Stephen King Unveils AI Generated Trump Taco Meme

The internet's fascination with the "Taco Trump" meme shows no signs of slowing down, and a new prominent figure has joined the fray: acclaimed author Stephen King. This meme, a thorn in the side of the former US President, has quickly become an online sensation, and King's recent contribution has only fanned the flames.

The Origin of "Taco Trump"

But what exactly is the "Taco Trump" phenomenon? The term originated as a pointed acronym: 'Trump Always Chickens Out'. It was initially used to critique Trump's shifting positions on his controversial tariff plans, where he would announce measures only to retract them later.

This catchy phrase was first introduced by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong. From there, it gained traction within Wall Street circles before exploding into a full-blown internet meme.

Stephen King Adds AI to the Mix

The meme's popularity has led to a dramatic spike in 'taco' related searches on Google, and now, the master of horror himself, Stephen King, has made his own unique contribution.

King shared a distinctly unsettling AI-generated image depicting Donald Trump reimagined as a taco. Reports suggest the image might have been created using Grok, an AI tool associated with Elon Musk.

King posted the image on X (formerly Twitter). You can view his original post here. The image certainly leaves an impression!

The image's uncanny nature prompted many reactions, with some jokingly wondering if it's possible to "unsee" such a creation. It's safe to say it's the kind of image that might linger in your thoughts.

King's Stance on Trump

One commenter on King's post quipped, "Stephen King is the world’s top living writer. You can’t master writing, let alone be the best, without truly getting human nature. So, if Stephen doesn’t like Trump, you’d better take it seriously."

This isn't an isolated incident of King criticizing Trump. The author has a history of speaking out against the former president, including making a NSFW joke on social media and labeling him a "bully."

More recently, King also commented on the ongoing feud between Trump and Elon Musk. It's clear that Stephen King is not counted among Trump's supporters.
