J.K. Rowling, queen of Twitter burns, has no time for your political nonsense or Donald Trump's tiny Twitter fingers.

Following President elect Trump's press conference on Wednesday, the Harry Potter author, who is no stranger to the magical Trump takedown, was left feeling very uneasy about America's current political reality and felt compelled to share what was on her mind.

After Rowling responded to Trump's Wednesday morning tweet in a sarcastic manner, a user tweeted at Rowling, suggesting she stay out of American politics because she doesn't even live in the country.

As you can imagine, the (since deleted) tweet displeased the famous author, and she responded with a swift burn stating why she, and everyone else on the planet for that matter, has the right to be concerned.

"Those teeny little fingers are within twitching distance of the nuclear codes," she wrote, taking a classic jab at the highly debated topic of Trump's abnormally small hands.

"We're all in it, up to our necks," she concluded, speaking on behalf of all human beings along for this bizarre and unexpected ride.

As always, the people saw where Rowling was coming from and virtually bowed down:

So there you have it folks...as long as Trump has access to the nuclear codes, everyone has the right to be concerned.
