Hillary Clinton received her anticipated, significant endorsement from President Barack Obama on Thursday, as she prepares for a general election she’ll almost certainly be a part of.
It’s no secret that the Democratic presidential candidate and her Republican competitor, Donald Trump, aren’t exactly “friendly.”
However, things are only continuing to heat up with the general election now just around the corner.
Following the official news of Obama’s endorsement, Trump tweeted, “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!”

In reference to a popular Internet meme, Clinton simply hit back, “Delete your account.”

It wasn’t long before Republican National Committee chairperson Reince Priebus and Trump responded.
Priebus wrote, “If anyone knows how to use a delete key, it's you” – an obvious reference to Clinton’s highly-publicized e-mail scandal.

Trump, in the meantime, responded, “How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?”
