Donald Trump reacted to President Barack Obama endorsing Hillary Clinton on Thursday the same way he’s reacted to approximately 70 percent of developments this election cycle: He sent out a mocking tweet about it.
Hillary Clinton — or rather, whatever set of staffers runs Hillary Clinton’s Twitter account — didn’t have to respond. But they did. And the reaction was, shall we say, yuuuge.
“Delete your account” is a pretty standard joke tweet, especially in political and media Twitter (which both the people writing “Hillary Clinton’s” tweets and the people reading them in the middle of a Thursday afternoon are likely to be familiar with). But this is a well-executed iteration of it.
You don’t tweet “delete your account” in response to an outrageous or offensive tweet, because it’s not a serious demand.
