Trump Retweets Then Deletes Vulgar Insult About Hillary Clinton
On April 16, 2015, two months before officially launching his presidential campaign, Donald Trump retweeted a post that read, "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America #MakeAmericaGreatAgain." The remark, presented as a quote from another Twitter user, was a crude sexist attack on Hillary Clinton. Trump soon deleted the tweet, but multiple sources captured screenshots before it was removed. The incident exemplifies his pattern of using offensive and misogynistic language to attack female political opponents. The use of the #MakeAmericaGreatAgain hashtag, months before his campaign launch, suggests he was already testing campaign messaging alongside offensive content. The event was corroborated by PBS NewsHour, Snopes, CityNews, and other outlets.
