LONDON -- Everyone's favourite Twitter badass J.K. Rowling has just shared her thoughts on Donald Trump -- and they're as brilliantly blunt as you might expect.
Rowling took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to share an article from BBC Newsbeat about how people have been comparing Trump with Harry Potter super-villain Lord Voldemort.
This is why people are calling American businessman, Donald Trump, Lord Voldemort https://t.co/ISFxdK4f7W pic.twitter.com/vYCWdM1j0f— BBC Newsbeat (@BBCNewsbeat) December 8, 2015
Rowling had a slightly different take, though.
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 8, 2015
Rowling's tweet amassed around 4,000 retweets in its first 10 minutes.
Trump has made headlines recently for proposing a ban on Muslims entering the United States, and a quick look on Twitter shows that people have indeed been comparing him to Voldemort.
Maybe the only way to stop Trump is to give him the Voldemort treatment #HeWhoMustNotBeNamed— Mansur Gidfar (@MansurGidfar) December 7, 2015
Donald Trump is like if Voldemort had the childhood of Danny Torrance from The Shining.— Kendra Alvey (@Kendragarden) December 8, 2015
My theory is that Trump is Voldemort & if the media stops saying his name, Harry Potter will come destroy him. America will be great again.— Linds (@lindsaysmetanka) December 7, 2015
