Hillary Clinton had some choice words for Donald Trump after he criticised President Barack Obama’s decision to endorse her in the 2016 United States presidential race.

Following a meeting with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders on Thursday, President Obama endorsed Clinton in a video statement.

“Look, I know how hard this job can be, that’s why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact I don’t think there’s ever been someone so qualified to hold this office,” Obama said.

Republican candidate Trump immediately took to Twitter to share his two cents, tweeting: “Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama—but nobody else does!”

In a tweet that has since been retweeted more than 300,000 times, Clinton fired back with a short and scathing response.

“Delete your account,” she wrote.

Keen to have the last word, Trump 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?”

“Five minutes. They’re time-stamped, dude,” one follower shot back.
