She just called him a "giant orange Twitter egg."
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is known for her way with words, and she has not held back in commenting on Donald Trump’s campaign to win the U.S. presidential elections.
During the third and final debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton on Wednesday evening, the British author live-tweeted some of her reactions to her 8.5 million Twitter followers:
'I've developed so many friends.'

Humans 'make' friends, Donald. They 'make' them.#debate
Well, there you have it. A highly intelligent, experienced woman just debated a giant orange Twitter egg. Your move, America. #debate

Rowling also retweeted fellow novelist Stephen King, who it seemed was anticipating the outcome of the debate too.
Let's see how many times Trump "manturrupts" her.

This is not the first time that Rowling has expressed her thoughts on the 2016 U.S. elections via the social media site.
'It's your fault I didn't pay taxes, Hillary. Women let you do anything when you're a star.'

Trump says 'just words, folks.' It's his accusation and his defence. Words don't matter. Facts don't matter. If they don't, we're all lost.

In reference to the allegations of sexual assault against Trump, Rowling did not hold back, retweeting many tweets that were critical of Trump and adding her own comment on the reaction to the events.
The men rushing to tell us all that they talk about women exactly the way @realDonaldTrump did in his tape seem to think they're helping.

When one fellow Twitter user asked Rowling “aren’t you British? Mind your business!”, the author simply replied the following.
When a man this ignorant & easy to manipulate gets within sniffing distance of the nuclear codes, it's everyone's business. #RestOfTheWorld https://t.co/yHBIIuhYEN

Rowling has also tweeted extensively to her large Twitter following about U.K. politics, particularly the state of the center-left Labour Party — to which she has donated over $1 million — and the result of the E.U. referendum, which she supported the ‘remain’ campaign. The following tweet on current affairs in 2016 was retweeted by nearly 40,000 people.
If we all hit ctrl-alt-del simultaneously and pray, perhaps we can force 2016 to reboot.
