More recently, our president blocked the best-selling author Stephen King on Twitter.

Rowling has always been a huge critic of Donald Trump and she doesn’t shy away from pointing it out to her followers. A few days back when NYT published an article outlining lies President Trump has told since he’s taken the oath of office, Rowling made sure to let her followers know.

Soon after the attack in London which lead to 7 deaths and 48 injured victims, Donald Trump took it to Twitter to attack the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. Rowling made sure to educate Trump on leadership.

Very much enjoying the German press at the moment. "Earth to Trump…" pic.twitter.com/sPqkUPYVlw
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 2, 2017
It’s no secret that President Trump said climate change is a hoax (which he later denied saying). But the German press didn’t let it go. They made sure to let Trump know what earth has to say about it.
7. When covfefe was everywhere
You're all laughing, but perhaps the real Twitter is the covfefe we make along the way. pic.twitter.com/WksVYbYJxA
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 31, 2017
Everyone went crazy when Trump tweeted about the negative press covfefe. And so did Rowling.

I wonder whether Trump talks to Trumpself in the third Trumperson when Trump's alone. https://t.co/8CEzVTJjBq

Rowling couldn’t help but wonder if our president talks to himself in the third person when alone.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 27, 2017

You tiny, tiny, tiny little man.

Rowling criticized Trump for pushing Prime Minister Milo Dukanovic of Montenegro as shown in this viral GIF.
Rowling also engages with the trolls too. Like when one time someone threatened to burn all her books and movies. Her response was brilliant.
Well, the fumes from the DVDs might be toxic and I've still got your money, so by all means borrow my lighter. pic.twitter.com/kVoi8VGEoK
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 31, 2017
Or like the time when someone actually did burn the books after being a fan for 17 years.
