Did President Donald Trump really say the baseball World Series winners wouldn't be allowed to come to the White House? No, that tweet is fake.

Author Stephen King on Sunday shared a social media post incorrectly claiming that President Donald Trump said he would not invite this year's World Series champions to the White House. Newsweek reached out to King's management for comment via email.

In late October 2025, a screenshot claimed to show a post from U.S. President Donald Trump's Truth Social account in which he refused to invite the winner of MLB's World Series to the White House and claimed the ongoing championship was "rigged by the Dems & the Mafia.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called President Donald Trump "afraid" to bet on World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers starting Friday.

The lighthearted challenge ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays clash comes against a backdrop of lingering trade tensions.

In a post on Sunday, King wrote, “Trump says he won’t invite either team playing in the World Series to the White House. He can’t rise above his petty political concerns even for the great American game. If anything shows what a louse he is, that’s it.”
