JK Rowling Criticizes Trump Jr. Tweet About Socialism

Donald Trump Jr. took the opportunity on Halloween night to illustrate a point about Socialism using a photo of his daughter Chloe and her bucket of Halloween candy.


In the tweet, Trump Jr. said: "I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialism."

The post was instantly pounced upon by Twitter users for its misinformation:

And there were plenty who cried foul, considering Trump Jr.'s inherited wealth:

People felt like there were probably better lessons that Trump Jr. could teach his daughter than "Socialism is bad:"

One the voices added to the fray was that of Harry Potter author and Twitter clapback queen J.K. Rowling, who slammed Trump Jr.'s faulty logic, saying: "Fill her bucket with old candy left by her great-grandfather, then explain that she has more because she's smarter than all the other kids."

Twitter users agreed with Rowling's sentiments:

Overall, it was a pretty rough Halloween for the Trump family. Not only was Ivanka Trump's birthday ruined by the indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates in the Russia probe, as well as the confession by George Papadopolous that he lied to the F.B.I., and his subsequent plea deal, but President Trump also had an awkward run-in with a kid dressed as a T-Rex during a Monday trick-or-treating event held at the White House.

So, the backlash against Trump Jr. was just one of several low points for the First Family's Halloween week.

And clearly Rowling has no problem taking on Twitter trolls, the Trumps, or anyone who crosses her, as she's shown time and time again.

Besides a much-needed class on Socialism, perhaps Trump Jr. can credit the Twitter take-down as part of his education, because he certainly got schooled.

JB Pritzker Just Epically Trolled Pam Bondi With The Perfect Fake LinkedIn Profile

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker mocked former Attorney General Pam Bondi following President Donald Trump's dismissal of her by posting a fake LinkedIn profile with a clever Epstein files twist.

Trump himself is widely believed to be in the Epstein files—said to contain detailed lists of some of the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's most high-profile clients and enablers—and has rejected calls by his followers to release them, admonishing critics of Bondi, who recently concluded no such list exists, despite previously claiming the exact opposite.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.
