JK Rowling throws some great shade

Link to tweet

?s=19

text of tweet:

Twitter really is an amazing resource for a writer. These screen caps will be a useful reference should I need to create a character of quiet strength, facing his tribulations calmly, fortified by his clear conscience.

She then has a bunch of screen shots of Trump's tweets this morning.

Where the protagonist is an entitled child who thinks the whole world is his plaything?
And the evil demons are actors of a democratic republic that have these crazy rules?
And the demon-slayer is surrounded by total nimwits who try to dismantle the stupid rules?
And that the world will be safe and warm for the child's friends. The rest can go to hell?
And there is some small man behind the curtain that is pulling levers to move his little parts?

Is that more a Stephen King type thing? (I don't watch movies or get out much...)

I'm picturing old white men wielding golf clubs trying to clear the swamps around the favorite hole.

That is not trump...he has show he is weak, and he is definitely not 'quiet'...

If I were a writer trump would be an example of an evil bastard, full of insecurities, disloyal even to is family, a cheater, a con, limited intelligence....well I guess I am describing trump...
