It's the British disease, knock people who have become successful whilst at the other end of the spectrum, criticise those on benefits for being lazy and a drag on society. Ironically, JK Rowling has been both.

Yes, whine about those like Rowling who try and make a difference with their money and keep quiet about those who have the money and just keep it for themselves.

In fact, we can see evidence of others sidelining him. Prominent Republicans ignored the president’s instructions to continue working on healthcare and instead turned to tax policy. “Trump has proven to be a relatively weak president. He hasn’t learned how to use the powers of the office,” says John Sides, a political scientist at George Washington University. “It’s difficult for other political actors to take him seriously.”
And those pesky Russians? Prime Minister Dimitri wrote on Facebook "The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way . . . The US establishment fully outwitted Trump; the president is not happy about the new sanctions, yet he could not but sign the bill.”
Talking of Russians, talk that special counsel Robert Mueller has convened a grand jury to investigate alleged ties between Mr Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government only sets the scene for more interesting times ahead.

What is interetsing is that when is clear, and it has been for a while now, that Trump and his administration are a joke, literally a laughing stock, that his supporters still try focus on how the information showing him to be a joke is disseminated.
Trump has made the office of President of the United States a laughing stock in the eyes of the world.
