J.K. Rowling just burned Donald Trump for the 2nd time in 24 hours
LONDON — You've got to hand it to J.K. Rowling — despite the fact she's probably now published more Donald Trump Twitter burns than she has Harry Potter books, she still never fails to be original.

This time, the subject of her ire was a trademark Trump attack on one of his old enemies: CNN.
.@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!

Yet again, Rowling's comeback was pure Twitter gold.
Keep having flashbacks to a little girl in my class at primary school, whose go-to insults were YOU'VE GOT FLEAS and YOU SMELL. https://t.co/Ej4lSCDg1L

Oddly, today's round of Trump bashing didn't end with Rowling shutting down yet another troll — this time it ended with an unexpectedly civil exchange.
Sweetest thing I've ever received from a Trump supporter. I can't and won't ever appreciate a man like him, but you're rather lovely. pic.twitter.com/o7YnHwW3pV

To be fair, being a Trump-supporting J.K. Rowling fan on Twitter must be a tricky road to navigate.
