Trump currently leads most national Republican polls and will be taking center stage at the first GOP debate Thursday night. > [](https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/629041186053996544) That’s not the first time King has tweeted about Trump: > [](https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/620610020695261185) > [](https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/620986354898477056) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3987082/stephen-king-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3987082/stephen-king-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Stephen King Has Written a Campaign Slogan for Donald Trump","datePublished":"2015-08-06T11:59:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:05.771Z","description":"\"If you're white, you're all right!\"","url":"https://time.com/3987082/stephen-king-donald-trump/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Newsfeed","2016 Election topic","Stephen King"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5a00d2e33b0a1d01/69885e1b8e06015d76461b92/meet-the-candidates-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5a00d2e33b0a1d01/69885e1b8e06015d76461b92/meet-the-candidates-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"meet the candidates GOP debate","caption":"meet the candidates GOP debate","creditText":"Andrew H.
