The most popular (read trolled) candidate running for President in the United States received a well-deserved compliment from JK Rowling, the magical creator of Harry Potter, herself. Expressing utter dismay at Trump's latest call for a ban on Muslims' entry into the US, the author tweeted:
How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad. https://t.co/hFO0XmOpPH

Surely, the Dark Lord agrees.
When JK Rowling trolls you, you know you are about to get cursed:
#Voldemort has style. All #DonaldTrump has is that god-awful-toupee! https://t.co/QarPPgsLt2

When JK #Rowling says you are worse than #Voldemort you need to re-evaluate not just your campaign but your life.

You'd think the announcers would know by now to say "you-know-who". The Dark Mark will be appearing any moment now. #Voldemort #Olympics

I'd sooner vote Voldemort than @realDonaldTrump ! He, somehow, seems less reptilian. #DumpTrump #voldemort #runningmates

Even before the author's jibe, Trump got a sound thrashing on Twitter for his xenophobic dream:
In the dark depths of fiery hell, Hitler is saying I like that guy. #Trump

When Cheney thinks you are a revolting fascist, you probably are Hitler's missing testicle. #Trump https://t.co/iXYyRMc0xL

Also read: Why the world loves to hate Donald Trump
We always knew Donald Trump was a man out of control, but the Fox News GOP debate yesterday only reinforced that he is the man everyone loves to hate.
He insulting to minorities (he talked about Mexico's cunning leaders and America's stupid ones and reiterated his June sentiment that described illegal immigrants from Mexico as killers and rapists), to women (when asked why he had called women fat pigs, blobs and dogs, he replied, only Rosie O'Donnell) and looked appropriately lascivious when reminded that a Celebrity Apprentice contestant had dropped to her knees and asked not be fired.
So what is it about him that we love to hate? Lots. Read more here.
