Hillary Clinton’s snarky tweet Thursday to her White House rival Donald Trump was among the funniest of the campaign.

Almost as funny as it was awkward: “Delete your account.”

The message by the 68-year-old secretary of state - actually written by a young staffer, a Clinton aide said - was in response to the latest broadside by Trump, who had commented on how “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary” on Thursday.

“He wants four more years of Obama - but nobody else does!” the presumptive Republican nominee added.

When the Clinton account trolled back, social media exploded.

Within two hours her message was retweeted 200,000 times, making it “the most retweeted tweet of the campaign” according to Clinton’s social media director Alex Wall.
