AceShowbiz - J.K. Rowling is definitely not a fan of President Donald Trump. After a video of Trump appearing to ignore a little boy's attempt to shake his hand went viral, the outspoken author took to Twitter on Friday, July 28 to slam POTUS.
Rowling posted the video along with the Maya Angelou quote, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." The video showed Trump shaking hands with a group of people, but when the little boy in the wheelchair held his hand in the air, Trump ignored it.

"Trump imitated a disabled reporter. Now he pretends not to see a child in a wheelchair, as though frightened he might catch his condition," Rowling wrote. She continued in other post, "This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections."

This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections. The disabled, minorities, transgender people, the poor, women

"The disabled, minorities, transgender people, the poor, women (unless related to him by ties of blood, and therefore his creations) are treated with contempt, because they do not resemble Trump," the famed British author added.

However, while the video that is swirling around the internet shows the president leaving the room after his speech, an extended cut of the video does show that Trump greeted the boy when he entered the room before delivering his speech.
