Donald Trump lobbed a comeback at Hillary Clinton via Twitter Thursday as the two presumptive nominees traded social media barbs.

More than an hour after Clinton tweeted at Trump to “delete your account,” Trump fired back with a burn of his own.


“How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up,” Trump wrote on Twitter, quoting Clinton’s earlier post. “And where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?”

It was Trump who launched the back and forth with Clinton, commenting on President Obama’s endorsement of “crooked Hillary” and cracking that “he wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!”

Trump’s original tweet had more than 14,000 retweets, while Clinton’s retort quickly exploded online, earning more than 183,000 in an hour and half.
