The 2016 presidential election will go down as one of the most controversial in American history. As Hillary Clinton continues to speak out and question the results, Donald Trump has decided to fire back.
Trump on Hillary
It all started back in the summer of 2015 when Donald Trump stood on the floor of Trump Tower in New York City and caused a media frenzy by announcing his plan to run for president. The initial reaction was that Trump's candidacy was nothing more than a joke and a possible attempt to drive higher ratings to his reality show. However, as time moved forward, the former host of "The Apprentice" was able to gain steam and quickly vaulted ahead of the other 16 Republicans running in the primary.
After surprising many by winning the GOP nomination, Trump was still the underdog when going into the general election against Hillary Clinton. Despite all the polls and pundits saying otherwise, the billionaire real estate mogul pulled off the upset win and defeated Clinton last November. In the 10 months that have followed, several well-respected news outlets, government agencies, and an ongoing congressional investigation have found that Russia hacked into the election with the goal of helping to elect the new president. As expected, Trump has denied any wrongdoing, but that hasn't stopped the former Secretary of State from speaking out. After Clinton doubled down on Russia's impact on the election earlier this week, Trump lashed out during a November 18 tweet.
Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time. She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!

Taking to Twitter on Saturday morning, Donald Trump wasted no time tearing into Hillary Clinton for continuing to blame Russia for her loss on Election Day.
"Crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst (and biggest) loser of all time," Trump tweeted out.

Not long after Donald Trump's attack on Hillary Clinton, critics of the president went off on social media. "She got more votes than you Donald," one tweet pointed out.

Hilarious! You need to get on with your Presidency and leave her the hell alone. You won and the election is over. Dementia setting in?

"Good lord, put the phone down, flush the toilet and go back to bed," one Twitter user wrote.
"Hilarious! You need to get on with your Presidency and leave her the hell alone. You won and the election is over. Dementia setting in?" an additional tweet wondered.
You are totally obsessed with Hillary Clinton!

Did she turn you down at some point?
Get over it! 😂
You lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 3 million votes. It must be difficult being such a sore winner, especially when you can’t handle strong women like Hillary speaking their minds. But try getting on with your life and give the presidency a try!
