Hillary Clinton is having a good week.
She became the first woman to ever clinch a major party presidential nomination, which she celebrated in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. That day, she also won the primaries in New Jersey and California — the last two big states voting.

Then on Thursday, President Barack Obamaofficially endorsed her for president, saying he doesn’t think there’s “ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
Just moments after Obama gave his endorsement, her adversary, Donald Trump, tweeted.
Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obamabut nobody else does!

But, Clinton (or whatever geniusis running her Twitter account) had the exact right response to Trump’s tweet. She simply said:
Delete your account. https://t.co/Oa92sncRQY

Clinton used the classic Twitter shade meme to completely shut Trump down.
Naturally, everyone on Twitter lost it.

This is a hopefully hilarious sign of how the next five months will play out before the general election in November.
Trump has shown he’s going to make whatever sexist, sophomoric attacks on Clinton he can, and it’s up to Clinton to figure out how to counter them. This is a good first step.
Not to mention, it says what a lot of us were thinking. Trump’s been using his Twitter account basically nonstop over the past year to campaign, saying obnoxious things and occasionally retweeting white supremacists.
Clinton’s “delete your account” tweet sends one clear message — Trump, it’s on.
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: We cannotwait for the debates between these two.
