It's a known fact that J.K. Rowling isn't afraid to speak her mind about President Trump. The bestselling author consistently proves that her effortless way with words extends far beyond the Harry Potter series, and her latest jab at Trump practically set Twitter ablaze.
During Trump's visit to Texas, he was briefed on Hurricane Harvey, and journalist Jonathan Tilove released the following quote from the POTUS.
