Author J.K. Rowling is a good example of how nothing President Trump ever does will be considered the right thing by his critics. Earlier Saturday, she criticized Trump for not tweeting about white supremacists marching through Charlottesville, Va.
Hell of a day for the President to forget how to tweet. pic.twitter.com/ABffmwwH8D

“Harry Potter” creator Rowling has more than 11.5 million followers, and it didn’t take long for that tweet to garner nearly a quarter-million likes and half that many retweets.
President Trump did tweet about the violent clashes in Charlottesville less than an hour later, and later in the afternoon gave a live statement at an afternoon briefing.
We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!

It turns out the president didn’t forget how to tweet, but it wasn’t quite what Rowling was looking for.

Somehow we’re not surprised Rowling didn’t care for the tweet she had criticized the president for not posting.
