At the Women for Women International event, Hillary Clinton spoke with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. At one point, the conversation, of course, turned to Donald Trump.
Clinton says she'd rather Trump tweet about her than foreign affairs.

Clinton referenced the fact that she “won by more than three million votes” over Donald Trump. When Amanpour warned that she “see[s] a tweet coming,” Clinton struck back.
“Well, fine. Better that than interfering in foreign affairs. I’m happy to be the diversion. We’ve got lots of other things to worry about. He should worry less about the election — and my winning the popular vote — than doing some other things that would be important for the country.”
Trump has repeatedly referenced his “impossible” Electoral College victory. At one point, Trump mentioned both the election being “over” before again citing his victory in that very election all in one breath.
Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!

I did what was an almost an impossible thing to do for a Republican-easily won the Electoral College! Now Tax Returns are brought up again?

Clinton knows that Trump has a special affinity for ratings and numbers, and a proportionate indignation for losing. With every tweet the President sends, he reveals his petty nature even more. At this point, there is no one easier to bait than the ever-so-predictable Donald Trump.
