Just when you think J.K. Rowling might have run out of ways to burn Donald Trump, she comes up with a fresh angle.

Her most recent shut-down came after Trump's latest Twitter rant, in which he accused Barack Obama of wiretapping him during his campaign.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted the following, slightly confusing rhetorical question:

This sparked Rowling to make a comparison that may only make sense to British people.

Vicky Pollard, for anyone not familiar, is a character played by Matt Lucas in the comedy sketch show Little Britain. She's basically an aggressive teenager who specialises in ranting, denying any wrongdoing, and trying to shift the blame onto other people.

Rowling followed up her first tweet with an imaginary Trump quote, in perfect Pollard style:

Even Matt Lucas himself retweeted it.

So: does Trump resemble an angry teenager who's constantly trying to avoid blame by attacking others?

We'll let you be the judge.
