15 times JK Rowling won at Twitter
JK Rowling’s takedown of trolls who took issue with her criticism of Donald Trump was as brutal as it was hilarious.
They confirmed her status as the undisputed queen of the comeback. Here we look back on 15 times JK Rowling won at Twitter.
1. Her slap down of the trolls was magnificent.
In – Free – Countries – Anyone – Can – Talk – About – Politics.

3. And neither did this one.
Guess it’s true what they say: you can lead a girl to books about the rise and fall of an autocrat, but you still can’t make her think. pic.twitter.com/oB7Aq6Xz8M

4. I can’t look anymore!

6. This is what Rowling had to say about Theresa May and that unfortunate hand-holding incident.
I suppose the hand holding might have been a subtle bit of power play. May’s must be bigger than Trump’s.

7. On a similar theme…
May making her “strong statement about the role of women” there, by standing simpering next to a powerful racist.

8. Talking of Trump, here she is talking about him before he was elected.
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH
