J.K. Rowling has a cutting response to Trump's quote about 'heroes'
LONDON — It's surely only a matter of time before Donald Trump goes on a wild, 5am Twitter rant about J.K. Rowling.
The Harry Potter author has been aiming a steady campaign of social media-based ribbing at the President-elect for a while now — and in the last week her volume of Trump-based burns have really peaked.

This one started when journalist Daniel Dale shared an extract from Michael Gove's recent interview with Trump. The question was one about heroes.

That's a lot of rambling to pick apart, but — luckily — J.K. Rowling was on hand to condense it into a helpful 140 characters:
"Heroes? Me, because I am innately awesome and you can't learn this, but a bit my dad, who must've been kinda ok, cos he made me." https://t.co/WYJQ8chAxd

Ouch.
Throughout the morning, Rowling has continued tweeting about Trump.
@jk_rowling it is a sad life when one does not have heroes.

Almost everyone in Europe dreads the Trump presidency.

@jk_rowling @alexmassie @politico What if you’re neither dreading Trumps presidency or a fascist?

We're calling it: he's going to tweet something negative about Harry Potter any day now.
It's only a matter of time.
