JK Rowling just roasted Donald Trump again with one incredibly ironic observation

Shots fired. Again.

There's literally no shortage of shade from J.K. Rowling when it comes to President Donald Trump, and we got some more of it today.

"Unbelievable. He actually did bring the Middle East together," Rowling tweeted, taking a direct shot at Trump after both Israel and Iran condemned his comments on Charlottesville that equated KKK members with those protesting their racist ideology.

In just a few hours, the tweet garnered more than 87,000 likes and 30,000 retweets. (Also note the subtle chyron shade directed in Russia's general direction.) And of course, her followers were super into it.

Trump's comments on the weekend's deadly "alt-right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, have received sharp criticism from people across the political spectrum — and Rowling, one of Trump's most frequent critics, is of course no exception.
