"Obama just endorsed Crooked Hillary. He wants four more years of Obama – but nobody else does!" Trump tweeted.
But then the shot heard round the Twitter world happened.
"Delete your account," Clinton's campaign fired back at the billionaire.

Trump, of course, responded.
"How long did it take your staff of 823 people to think that up--and where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?" Trump tweeted, referencing Clinton's ongoing email scandal while she was secretary of state.
Not to be outdone, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus decided to join the fun and took a shot at Clinton.
"If anyone knows how to use a delete key, it's you," Priebus tweeted at Clinton.
