J.K. Rowling roasts Trump for talking in third-person

[@TheBighatter]

Wait...a random fiction author has an opinion about a leader of a foreign country? Good job CNN, keep that breaking news coming.

[@TheMrThornton]

Obama saying "Thanks, Obama", as an ironic reference to a meme constantly used to blame him for everything, is nothing like the same as Donald Trump continually refering to himself as Donald Trump. FFS CNN what happened to context?

[@kernalbert5546]

The Obama example was taken out of context...completely different nuance of intent and execution.

[@richiejohnson]

Absolutely

[@jonathanmcbain9223]

Obama talking in 3rd person wasn't the same as Trump doing it. Obama was referencing the meme "Thanks Obama"

[@richiejohnson]

Yeah, I thought that comment was a little shady, too

[@dilberton99]

The passage from a book [''People who speak of themselves in the third person they want other people to achieve greater respect. They speak of yourself as a general high values, are considered to be people who are worth more, but it is ironic that are actually very insecure. Perhaps the most important component is the responsibility of that such people fleeing. When you speak of themselves in the third person they are placed outside of any responsibility. These are people who lack self-esteem, because the man who keeps to himself not run away from responsibility. When two people talk in the usual way, they are ready to receive the praise and criticism, but those who speak of themselves in the third person they know and want to hear only praise. They are not strong enough to withstand criticism''.] ...I agree, but evidently ''third person'' are very successful and even become presidents!:))

[@hyk-tp7oz]

Wow.... Is this guy really your president?

[@stephjuhler999]

yes! MAGA

[@TheBighatter]

And doing a surprisingly good job, thank you.

[@SpecialSP]

hyk1268 NOT mine!

[@onetwo19]

Yes and thank god!

[@jayboi7565]

Unfortunately

[@averystorm]

CNN bringing that hard hitting journalism, as usual. Next up: "Donald Trump Double Knots His Shoe Laces! Top Psychologist Says Sign Of Dishonesty"

[@kalexambing2507]

Obama used third person in a joking manner while Trump is somehow being serious about it all the time.

[@JohnCovington5]

We officially have our first toddler President.

[@Rexxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

John Covington you think you can do a better job?

[@JohnCovington5]

Yes. I think you could do a better job and I don't know you.

[@romysan1]

donald duck or daffy duck is a better choice. chump is a joke. he shows what god thinks of money by who he gives it to. never trump and never republicants.

[@jacobfetzer715]

+John Covington Toddlers throw tantrums and are dependent on others. Oh shit, that's the Democratic party!

[@onetwo19]

I prefer a toddler Trump than a psychopathic Hillary.

[@kuglefang]

He loves the sound of his own name

[@BiGG_X]

When we hear it happen, habitual illeism - the barely pronounceable word that describes the act of using the third person when talking about oneself - tends to signal to the rest of us one of a number of personality quirks in the speaker, none of them good: A stunted intellect (“Sloth loves Chunk”); the presence of psychotic personality disorders (“Smeagol hates nasty Hobbitses”); rampant egoism (“Doctor Doom shall be master of Earth!”); or a journalist using horribly awkward turns of phrase that belong in the print era (at least, that’s in the opinion of your present author).

[@richiejohnson]

Well said

[@VideoGameChimp5]

since when was the word roast in CNNs vocab

[@robonthecob6920]

JK Rowling also defends censoring PewDiePie for his "nazism." Trump is kind of right about the Democrats using Russia as a deflection technique, although he's still like 3X worse overall

[@erickvillagrana1699]

I talk about myself in 3rd person. Whats so wrong about it?? Its called being... Alone

[@bngltinkerbell]

He's completely senile. He probably does.

[@meheretoday6968]

wonder which voice wins the arguments he has with himself?

[@johnthom2910]

Cute Little Suzie Just because you don't like it doesn't make it fake. It may not be "news," but it's real.

[@iamsammi1992]

Only an immature imbecile gets on a News video on KZbin and says Fake News, you gotta be like 12 years old and very illiterate!

[@sandic452]

no Suzie is wrong its not fake news, its REALLY FAKE NEWS!!!

[@iamsammi1992]

Sandi C, are you 12 and illiterate too? I have never seen so many children on CNN before in my life, Adults can't even enjoy the truth any more without some juvenile asswipe comming out to say shit a 12 year old says, hell a 5 year old would do this!

[@dedicateddemocrat7409]

I would feel a lot safer if we did have Cookie Monster in the Oval Office!

[@jacobfetzer715]

+dedicated Democrat If you're a dedicated Democrat why don't you move to North Korea? Nobody is allowed to own firearms, there are no rich people, the government takes care of you, capitalism doesn't exist, and everyone is equal(ly poor).

[@AliceinWonderlandX9]

President Obama used the "thanks Obama " because of Jenna marbles video "thanks Obama"

[@Swnsasy]

That is text book narcissistic personality to use it as much as he does..

[@rredhawk]

Robert Dole used to do this a lot. Instead of using personal pronouns I and ME, he would say Bob Dole when referring to himself in a sentence.

[@TuChinz]

Elmo does the same thing, but I don't see her roasting him.

[@NicolasPerez15]

According to google it's 5:30 in Moscow right now. Only a little while before the Kremlin troll army starts flooding thecomment sections

[@sandic452]

Don't flatter yourself Nicolas, Moscow could care less about you or CNN.

[@NicolasPerez15]

Sandi C hahahaha ha!

[@bforthigh1617]

Sandi C you replying heavily implies that you care.

[@alan43ish]

No ones better at roasting than Trump, just check the Internet for "Trump Roasts" you will laugh your ass off

[@meheretoday6968]

why waste your time and go to the trouble of looking it up for a laugh...every news report has something funny in it he has said or done

[@Egemosedam]

Obama´s "thanks Obama" was a reference to the "Thanks Obama" meme that made rounds some time ago. He´s not in the same egomaniacal category as th Donald

[@spencereng]

"Donald Trump has a very large a brain." - Donald Trump

[@ryanmcavoy]

FYI CNN: "Thanks Obama" was him making a sarcastic joke.

[@bobrolander4344]

He _could_ be a narccisist? Is that even a question????

[@luisruiz8738]

I love how they used a meme to make themselves seem unbiased

[@BurgerStefan]

Reminds me somehow on "Danny Crane" (TV series "Boston Legal") Compareable level of jokes and fun if it wouldn't be reality.

[@RagicaltheUnhallowedKnight]

Um... Is this considered news CNN?

[@newzealand19701]

toddlers at the same level of mental development as trump, cute in a baby, scary as hell in a president.

[@AnbusKi]

His own name isn't the only thing he likes in his mouth just ask Putin.

[@peter12246]

Reminds me of Geroge Costanza “George is gettin’ upset!” “George is losing it!”, “George is gettin’ frustrated!” “George likes his chicken spicy!” It was funny when Costanza did it, Trump sounds like an old man in an old age home "Trump pooped his pants" SAD!

[@visteobman4202]

Peter don't you remember Jimmy? Jimmy like!!! Jimmy doesn't play that.

[@peter12246]

hahaha yes, George picked it up from Jimmy "JIMMY'S DOWN" LOL

[@Flowerbarrel]

Hahahahah, what a doofus! I haven't read many of his Tweets where he does that. I didn't think anything of it when I saw his Tweet just today. I thought one of his advisors had written it for him.

[@FirstAmericaFirst]

No other POTUS has been a brand name. Thought about that CNN?

[@madiam4u]

hey voldemort used to this too..."harry potter, the fool who thought he could beat the dark lord"

[@JMysticStar7]

The difference is that Obama was responding to the media and internet saying "Thanks Obama" most people over the age of 35 wouldn't understand that. Trump on the other hand........

[@julianlo5155]

Are you kidding me? "Thanks, Obama" is a humorous catchphrase. Obama does not casually refer to himself in the third person.

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

JUSTMISH 2U I tried to post a comment to you specifically, 5 times. It wouldn't allow, I checked my subscriptions, you're no longer there (fixed that), half of your replies below are missing, and as another person mentioned, I haven't seen you around for a while. I don't know about any "clones" but I could swear your user name used to be JUSTMISH U. This IS me by the way, I finally figured out how to put a picture in the Box :)

[@erimayd6976]

And who is JK Rowling again ? Because like him or not Trump is a multi-billionaire U.S. president

[@thisisjustriddikulus1244]

She wrote the fucking Harry Potter series. She was once the richest person in Britain. She's a multi-billionaire too. I don't know what's your point.

[@acyr.vieira]

And if Trump was a character, would he be a good guy or a villain?

[@jimbob3030]

Biff Tannon's character from back to the future was based on trump in real life.

[@acyr.vieira]

jim bob interesting! I'm going to see this movie again.

George Remus doesn't fool around. Remus knows what he's doing. Remus is going to make America laugh again. 😂😂😂

[@bleach12386]

This is a news story?

[@thekingflappyjack330]

Rowling and Trump are actually quite similar, spending a lot of time on twitter calling out people on matters that they don't really understand.

[@dianeowen5258]

We knew he was ill but now we know he is illeis,

[@ame7272]

LOL

[@cole3835]

What kind of a respectable news network uses the word "roasts" in a video title? What's next, "JK Rowling schools Donald Trump"? "JK Rowling owns Donald Trump"? Get your shit together CNN.

[@mallucanuck]

Technical term is "The Jimmy", from seinfeld

[@nintendonerdsvideos4727]

There are a lot of things you can get on trumps case about, but talking in the 3rd person ain't one.

[@stretch654]

Cookie Monster for president!

[@MissLaceyNoel]

He's a joke.

[@philliplopez8745]

we now have a "CARTOON CHARACTER " in the WHITEHOUSE . thanks America !!!

[@MatthewPalanca]

only reason why Obama was talking in the third person was because he was poking fun at the memes that'd been made about him

[@joshderoche8068]

Wow what a roast, she got him so good, Josh DeRoche says she should do a book on roasting

[@flyte707]

you THINK it's an indication of narcissism? water is wet?

[@shamandirect3193]

LETS MAKE AN ELIEN COLONY IN MARS LMAO

[@MrHydevsDrJekyll]

Mr Miagi talks about himself in the third person all the time

[@Rexxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

This is news?

[@Natemerk]

This is funny! Just like house elves in Harry Potter especially Dobby and Kreacher both use illeism!

[@interviewswithair]

So what?? Is this news?

[@kronhertz4956]

J.K. Rowling...You mean that narcissistic writer who promoted her new book and film to some Syrian girl in hopes of getting publicity.

[@zaxxxon]

*Cookie Donald* or *Monster Trump*... I think I prefer (figuratively speaking) the latter.

[@ponokaleikini9045]

He's a clone. Yes we're catching on lol

[@rissaa.7660]

No one praises him...

[@cboyles84]

Megalomania, as well. So what? That nonsense is to be expected with someone like him.

[@sarahkerrigan6026]

ummm who the fuck is this J.K. rolling person? never heard of them in my life.

[@kunzx037]

... I don't even like Trump, but I'm tempted to try voting for him when I see liberal news networks be this biased and desperate..

[@markgreen4612]

Donald ducks questions on his lies and failures.

[@hamzakhalifafawad339]

Danny Branderson Donald duck is worst

[@Megamans64]

Shit i wish i was a failure. This failure is worth billions and is the prez. of the most powerful country in the world. I would hate to see what your deff of success is.

[@hamzakhalifafawad339]

Danny Branderson Yeah just like them

[@carultch]

@@hamzakhalifafawad339 How do you know when Donald Duck is lying? You can barely understand him no matter what he is saying. Usually you have to listen to the way the other characters talk to him, to understand what he's saying.

[@Fridaytheth-mq5jf]

Trump is actually a business man

[@diabeddie0797]

Was that really considered a roast it was more of just a comment but whatever

[@halhitchcock740]

If Trump was President everyone would love me.

[@Megamans64]
