Hillary Clinton delivered a devastating burn to her former presidential rival Thursday, posting a succinct tweet that was undoubtedly intended to stick it to Donald Trump after his defeat by a U.S. appeals court regarding his de facto Muslim ban.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted against reinstating Trump's executive order restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries Thursday.

Instead of outright gloating or releasing a generic statement about democracy prevailing, Clinton decided to go down the minimal but effective route with this tweet:

3-0 — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 10, 2017

With her "3-0" post, referring to the unanimous decision of all three judges, she effectively burned Trump with 137 characters to spare. The tweet quickly amassed over 100,000 likes.

Compare Clinton's response to Trump's all-caps blast of anger — which didn't really make sense since they were, well, just in court.

Making Clinton's glorious burn even sweeter was a retweet from author J.K. Rowling, the ultimate shade queen who is constantly taking Trump to task.
