This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang, but a twitter.

Heh, so this "delete your account" is indeed some kind of meme. I thought memes were supposed to have a modicum of cleverness to them.

Heh, so this "delete your account" is indeed some kind of meme. I thought memes were supposed to have a modicum of cleverness to them.

For context:

"Delete your account" is a pretty standard joke tweet, especially in political and media Twitter (which both the people writing "Hillary Clinton"'s tweets, and the people reading them in the middle of a Thursday afternoon, are likely to be familiar with). But this is a well-executed iteration of it.

You don't tweet "delete your account" in response to an outrageous or offensive tweet, because it's not a serious demand. So many of the things that Trump tweets (or retweets) wouldn't be appropriate targets. Rather, "delete your account" is used when someone has tried to be funny on Twitter — for example, by attempting to land a sick burn — and failed.

Pretty lame, and pretty opaque for the masses.

Trump's response:

Donald J. TrumpVerified account
‏@realDonaldTrump 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?

Equally dumb.

Yep. I would say it is like Hansmeister and CdM shit talking for control of the nation but frankly they have more decorum and cleverness.

... however many of the masses care about twitter.

Pretty lame, and pretty opaque for the masses.

yeah, it sounds harsh if you don't get the obscure reference. but trump's response failed to capitalize on that
