After the video of US President Barrack Obama endorsing
Hillary Clinton, became viral, Donald Trump tweeted to his fans on
thursday:

@realDonaldTrump
Obama just endorsed Hillary, he wants
another
Obama for four years but no one else does.

Hillary Clinton immediately won the war with just three heavy words:

@HillaryClinton
Delete your account

And then the fire began, within half an hour Hillary's tweet was
re-tweeted more than 100,000 times. A record, for such a simple
statement. The last time Clinton set a re-tweet record was when she
announced her plans to run for presidency back in April last year.
'Delete your accoun't is a statement that is more as a rebuke, and
an advice in a way. Its an option to take when one's tweets lands the
person in a pool of tweet 'attacks'.
Join the fun now by re-tweeting! Hehehe.
