Preview

Yesterday, the Philadelphia Daily News compared Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Now, British author JK Rowling has compared Trump to her character Voldemort in Harry Potter. She posted on Twitter: “How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad.” Trump said earlier this week he would ban all Muslims from entering the United States to protect the country from terrorist attacks. American and world leaders have criticized Trump’s statement.

Rowling’s post has been retweeted over 180,000 times. An online petition to block Trump from entering the United Kingdom has been signed more than 200,000 times since Tuesday.

And a university in Scotland revoked the honorary degree it awarded Trump in 2010. Robert Gordon University posted on Facebook Wednesday that Trump has “made a number of statements that are wholly incompatible” with the university’s values. The Scottish government also stripped Trump from his title as “GlobalScot” ambassador for promoting Scottish business. Trump’s mother was Scottish. After the announcements, ‘Scotland’ trended on Facebook Wednesday.
