Hillary Clinton released her new book titled "What Happened?" this week which covers her experience during the 2016 presidential election. As expected, Donald Trump decided to give his thoughts on social media.
Trump on Hillary
When Donald Trump announced his plan to run for president back in June 2015, he do so on the floor of his own Trump Tower in New York City. With his family behind him, the former host of "The Apprentice" declared his candidacy official as a member of the Republican Party, but quickly made headlines during his speech by labeling illegal immigrants from Mexico as "rapists" and "murderers." In the months that followed, Trump picked up steam and surprised many by beating out his 16 GOP challengers on his way to a primary victory.
On the flip side, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton faced an unexpected tough challenge in Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton was pushed to her limits, with many questioning the motives of the Democratic National Committee in her victory. In the general election, the consensus was that Clinton would defeat Trump in a landslide. However, reported election interference from Russia, Clinton's decision not to campaign earlier in key swing states, former FBI Director James Comey's move to bring up the infamous email scandal, as well as other issues helped Trump become the new president. In response, Clinton released a book about what took place, leading to Trump firing back in a pair of tweets on September 13.
Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss. She lost the debates and lost her direction!

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday night was Donald Trump who broke his silence on Hillary Clinton's book about the election. "Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss," Trump tweeted out, before adding, "She lost the debates and lost her direction!"
The "deplorables" came back to haunt Hillary.They expressed their feelings loud and clear. She spent big money but, in the end, had no game!

Not stopping there, Donald Trump continued with a follow-up tweet, this time referencing Hillary Clinton's remarks during the campaign where she referred to supporters of the billionaire real estate mogul as being "deplorables." "The 'deplorables' came back to haunt Hillary.They expressed their feelings loud and clear," Trump posted.
"She spent big money but, in the end, had no game!" the president concluded.
Moving forward
In the last week, Hillary Clinton has taken a lot of criticism over some of the content in her book, and not just from Donald Trump and Republicans. Clinton attacked Bernie Sanders and his supporters for not backing her strongly in the general election, which only highlighted the current divide on the political left that isn't showing signs of improving at anytime in the near future.
