Feeling intensely cornered and increasingly under siege as the House committees begin yet another wide-ranging probe into the sordid court of the would-be tyrant Donald Trump, our embattled President took to Twitter this afternoon to make himself feel better by bashing his favorite boogeywoman: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Responding to the news that “Crooked” Clinton would not be running again in 2020, Trump complained about how he would miss his favorite scapegoat, wrongfully assuming that the same key strategic errors by the Clinton campaign and the interference of a hostile foreign power would hand the White House to him a second time around.
“(Crooked) Hillary Clinton confirms she will not run in 2020, rules out a third bid for White House.” Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!

Secretary Clinton’s team was quick to fire back, roasting the president for maintaining his obsessive fixation with her nearly three years later with a GIF from the pop culture classic Mean Girls:

No matter how hard he tries to distract the nation with his petulant attacks on his rivals or how hard he tries to live in the past, reveling in the moment of victory before the investigations and the subpoenas, he’s not going to be able to escape what’s coming to him — and Clinton, along with the rest of us, will be eagerly watching his inevitable fall.
