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. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4363217/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4363217/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton Tweets 'Delete Your Account' to Donald Trump","datePublished":"2016-06-09T19:10:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:13.621Z","description":"Your move, Donald","url":"https://time.com/4363217/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Hillary Clinton","Entertainment","2016 Election topic","twitter","Donald Trump","memes"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4a52255880d8634d/69889727cd1bba14467010af/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4a52255880d8634d/69889727cd1bba14467010af/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Campaigns In Indiana","caption":"Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Campaigns In Indiana","creditText":"Joe Raedle—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4363217/hillary-clinton-delete-your-account/","name":"Hillary Clinton Tweets 'Delete Your Account' to Donald Trump"}}]}] ```
