While Hillary Clinton lays relatively low and Michelle Obama kicks back in an island paradise, Chelsea Clinton has become a relentless, vocal critic of President Trump and his policies.
With a signature mix of mild sarcasm and exasperation, she routinely serves up sharp commentary on the 45th president to her 1.5 million followers on Twitter.
Clinton, like both of her parents, must carefully balance her resistance against the risk of appearing like a so-called sore loser. Indeed, #MAGA supporters love taunting Clinton with reminders of her mother's defeat. If the trolling irks or intimidates Clinton, it doesn't show.
Instead of getting embroiled in Twitter fights with egg avatars, Clinton focuses on her targets for the day, like fighting the refugee and Muslim ban, answering the global gag rule executive order with scientific research and writing the verbal equivalent of a face-palm response to Trump's incoherent speech at a Black History Month gathering.
On Thursday, following Trump's bizarre press conference, Clinton helpfully supplied him with an answer to a question about rising anti-Semitism after he struggled with it for the second day in a row. "One would think he would have thought of an answer since yesterday," she said. "Here's one: There's no place for any bigotry, ever, in America." (snip)
Here's how she's pulling off the high-wire act:
1. The rhetorical question is your friend.
Clinton doesn't need lengthy threads or tweets that push the 140-character max. She instead tends toward pithy questions that make a dramatic point about Trump's behavior and decision-making.
2. A little sarcasm goes a long way. Clinton knows how to lean into sarcasm and irony without leaning so hard that she looks bitter or humorless.
3. Take on Trump's actions and policies, not just him. Clinton rarely says Trump's name. Instead, she includes tweet links that do mention his name or explain the impact of his policies, and builds her commentary on that.
4. Smart retweets. Clinton's retweet game is strong. She clearly carefully chooses which voices to amplify with her sizable platform.
Is it because she's thinking of running for office now? Running on an anti-Trump ticket, I suppose. That might work in NYC.
If just EVER comes to the Clintoons she will be frog marched too. She’s a dirty as they come with the Clinton Foundation.
“This article is from 8 years ago, what’s the relevance?”
I found her sanctimoniousness and the author’s slobbering over her funny, in light of how Trump is the master on x/Twitter.
Just added “humor” to the Topics.
THE IQ OF A GARDEN SNAIL
First of all, I call complete BS on that skank having 1.5 million followers.
The article is eight years old. Her current follower count is probably 63.
Chelsea is a dim bulb, and a CFL at that.
She’s an idiot and really ugly. That might work for a Dem Congressional seat but not so much President.
Ah, the Clinton family ... like an eternal hemorrhoid ... they never stop being a pain inn the ass.
Webb Hubbels kid speaks.
