"Trump literally has 5 kids. What is this sh--?" Libs of TikTok posted on X.
"Um… I'm pretty sure Donald Trump had children," 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky posted on X.
"Is there a 25th Amendment for taking peoples' phones away?" Conservative writer Bonchie wrote on X.
"Donald Trump, famously childless," conservative reporter Jerry Dunleavy jokingly wrote on X.
King's comments come as Trump, who is the father of five children and is in his second presidential term, is set to address the country on Tuesday evening in the 2026 State of the Union, a report to Congress on the administration’s work.
King’s remarks mirror similar social media comments made about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a prominent progressive member of the House of Representatives, on Saturday.
In a tweet put up by an account called "Stacy is Right," a self-described MAGA mother of three, the author similarly disparaged elements of Ocasio-Cortez’s life and background.
That post also mocks the Democrat for a lack of children, having never been married, never having run a business and never having had a "professional job."

"Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dipsh--! Goes double for Elon!" King said in a post in February 2025.
Earlier this year, King took to social media to compare ICE to Nazi Germany's Gestapo.
"ICE is the American Gestapo," King wrote, referring to the secret state police in Germany.

"Trump is ruining the economy with his stupid tariffs," King said in another instance in April.
King’s office did not respond to a request for comment on the message behind his post.
