When it comes to shutting down the President on Twitter, J.K. Rowling is something of a wizard.

She's done it countless times over the past few years, and it doesn't look like she's planning to stop anytime soon.

Her latest barb came in the form of a parody of a tweet Trump posted on Sunday about his favourite target: the "Fake News" media.

Here's how Rowling responded later that afternoon:

Judging by the 24,000 retweets and 125,000+ favourites at the time of writing, her tweet seems to have gone down pretty well.

Given the number of Twitter feuds Trump gets involved in, it's sort of amazing that he still hasn't ever tweeted anything back at the Harry Potter author.

Maybe she's The Only One He Fears?
