Trump’s tweet read, “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!.” Clinton’s account responded by quoting Trump’s tweet and adding the caption, “[Delete your account](https://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/64422613.jpg),” a phrase made popular in the Twitterverse to call out people who are offering unsolicited hot takes, being irrelevant, or just plain being rude. > [](https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/740973710593654784) This is a textbook usage of “Delete your account,” though it was not appreciated by the GOP, who used the tweet as an opportunity to bring up Clinton’s email controversy. > [](https://twitter.com/seanspicer/status/740976546035425280) > [](https://twitter.com/Reince/status/740993607289688065) However, the Internet more than compensated with affirmative recognition of Clinton’s correct use of the meme — in gif form. > [](https://twitter.com/ggreeneva/status/740976042412789761) > [](https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/740974248253083649) > [](https://twitter.com/gabebergado/status/740978084367720448) > [](https://twitter.com/JonMcQueen/status/740977733665071104) Hillary’s response to Trump has just become her most retweeted Tweet ever. > [](https://twitter.com/gov/status/740995085555359745) Your move, Trump. ## Transcript [00:03] I've seen her commitment to our values up close.
