Rowling](http://time.com/4657055/j-k-rowling-twitter-harry-potter-book-burning/) didn’t hesitate to share her thoughts on the [President’s most recent tweet spree](http://time.com/4660961/president-trump-defends-travel-ban-any-negative-polls-are-fake-news/), much to the delight of fellow English celebrity, comedian Ricky Gervais. Responding to a [Monday morning tweet](http://time.com/4660961/donald-trump-travel-ban-polls-fake-news/) in which Trump said that any polls showing Americans were not in favor of his travel ban for seven majority-Muslim countries were “fake news,” the _Harry Potter_ author wrote, “Can you imagine the number of mirrors this man must have smashed?” The quip prompted a quick reaction from Gervais, who apparently enjoyed her joke. “Hahaha,” the former _David Brent: Life on the Road_star replied shortly after delivering his own one-liner: “Any tweets that don’t agree with my tweets are FAKE NEWS!” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/828574430800539648) > [](https://twitter.com/jk%5Frowling/status/828644891878158341) > [](https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/828645598161100801) > [](https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/828644844167892994) J.K.
