Donald J. Trump Retweeted Hillary Clinton

How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?

1. Where are the 2 million bush

Cheney, Rove deleted.

[itsrobert]

2. He's an amateur

He should have did it like this:

"Like your emails?"


Hillary's got this.

[Ash_F]

3. Great...twitter fights

[braddy]

4. I don't get it either.

[caquillo]

5. Welcome to the 21st Century, Mr. Banks!

[braddy]

6. Evidently the century of shallowness.

[Waiting For Everyman]

7. What is "delete your account" supposed to mean?

I don't get it.

[Miles Archer]

8. It's a meme

It's not an original put down, by any means. But it shows an innate understanding of the twanguage.

@nytimesarts please delete your account

The phrase is a social media favorite. Think Kermit sipping tea. The point is to allow the emotion of the intended audience do the work. In this case, the intended audience was not Donald Trump as much as it was everyone else, particularly all those "digital natives" (I loathe PR-speak, but alas) who know all of social media's nooks and self-referential crannies.

10. Well, I read that whole thing and

social media can "love it" but I think it's stupid. All I get out of it is, it's the social media equivalent of "drop dead", which frankly I think is pretty messed up to be coming from a supposed role model. She comes off like a nasty kid, as I see it, while at the same time she's trying to say that she's the appropriate one.

Thanks, Miles. That did help.

[Miles Archer]

12. Without knowing who actually sent the tweet...

...and I am inclined to believe it was a staffer, not Ms. Clinton...there is a "drop dead" message in there, but I think the use of a meme...something only a "Social Media insider" would know...was intended to show a greater knowledge of the workings of Social Media. In other words, Trump spews random train-of-thought messages while the Clinton campaign knows how to slice and dice with a Ginsu knife by comparison.

Something like that. An amateur versus a pro.

13. It's basically calling someone out when they tweet something stupid or unpopular.

It can be used in a more lighthearted sense: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1133528-delete-your-account or http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1133537-delete-your-account

But it can also be used when someone says something really offensive/over-the-top/just plain bigoted like Trump does every 10 minutes. Delete your account can be a bit more literal then.

[Xyzse]

24. This is my take on it as well.

Either way, I still don't quite get it, nor do I understand why people think it is smart/intelligent or amazing pwnage.

Then again, I don't see myself getting in to twitter.
So I guess I'll shut my mouth.

Carry on I guess.

9. Basically 'delete your account'

it means that your statement or opinion is so awful that you should be disqualified from further participation ....usually on a social media site.

[Waiting For Everyman]

11. Thanks. nt

[grossproffit]

14. It took Trump and his staff 2 hours to come up w/ a retort. He's in way over his lil' head.

[herding cats]

16. That 2 hour delay was Trump trying to get approval on something.

That text finally sent from his account was a coordinated effort by the full RNC staff to rein him in and put useful message out.

Trump is having a very bad day today, mark my words. Between that tweet, the RNC intervention and Biden and Warren tonight, he's about to explode!!

[grossproffit]

17. I can't wait. He'll be crying in the corner before this is over.

[herding cats]

18. I just hope someone gets pics and posts them.

We need a mole on his staff whit quick camera skills!

[grossproffit]

20. I think we'll all get the opportunity to see when she debates him. muhahaha

[herding cats]

25. Oh! Excellent point!

[grossproffit]

15. He's gonna be crying like a little boy before this is over.

[wildeyed]

19. Best reply.

@realDonaldTrump 5 minutes. They're time-stamped, dude.

Baaaad day for the Donald.

[grossproffit]

21. He's not as smart as he tells himself he is.

[wildeyed]

22. He is getting creamed on Twitter

and that is supposed to be his special oeuvre. He is a nasty bully who doesn't know what to do when someone hits back.

[grossproffit]

23. He's definitely having a sadz. bwahahaha eom

[glowing]

26. A local news guy was reporting the "politics" of the day.

The meetings, the endorsements, and then said, the candidates spent the day engaged in a Twitter war... And the guy just had a look of disgust on his face, when he galloped up the "reporting"... The two presumptuous candidates
For President spent the day engaged in a Twitter war, and then something to the effect of like really, this is our Presidential Politics and this is the best we could do?

[BlueNoMatterWho]

27. Why would Hillarys staffer be allowed to tweet Trump to "DELETE"?

PLEASE think before you type.
Although it did make me smile.

[AgingAmerican]

28. If she decides to ignore the issues, and get into a poop flinging contest with him

she loses the general Election
