Another child had some social media advice for the former Secretary of State, “Advice number one, post less on Instagram. 200 posts in a month, that’s a lot.” A 12-year-old wrote in to express her excitement at the possibility of a female president: “I would love for you to become president. But there is a wall called Donald Trump trying to stop you, but no, us women will not stand for it. It’s our job to gear up and knock down this wall and show that women have a place in this world.” To prove she knew her campaign-ad lingo, the author added: “P.S. I’m 12 and I approve this message.” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4501034/hillary-clinton-jimmy-fallon-interview-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4501034/hillary-clinton-jimmy-fallon-interview-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Jimmy Fallon Gave Hillary Clinton Some Advice From Kids","datePublished":"2016-09-20T14:05:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:44.536Z","description":"\"I’m 12 and I approve this message.”","url":"https://time.com/4501034/hillary-clinton-jimmy-fallon-interview-donald-trump/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Hillary Clinton","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","2016 presidential election"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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/4501034/hillary-clinton-jimmy-fallon-interview-donald-trump/","name":"Jimmy Fallon Gave Hillary Clinton Some Advice From Kids"}}]}] ```
