Hillary Clinton is angry and the extent of this anger has been (somewhat) unleashed in her book What Happened, which is creating headlines around the world.
In it, she berates herself for misunderstanding the people of America and the way that lost her the 2016 presidential election.
She slams the media for its coverage on the Russian interferance, saying news outlets “acted as if the Russian hacking was our conspiracy theory” and not a legitimate concern.
She blames, in part, the misogyny of politics. That female politicians are scrutinised more heavily than males and constantly held to higher standards.
More than anything, though, she shows her disgust towards the President of the United States Donald Trump for not only enabling, but acting out this misogyny on a world stage.
“Do you stay calm?” she asks in What Happened, referring to the way he kept “stalking” her on stage during the second presidential debate.
“Do you keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space? … Or do you turn, look him in the eye, and say loudly and clearly, ‘Back up, you creep, get away from me, I know you love to intimidate women but you can’t intimidate me, so back up’.”
Tell me it’s going to be okay. Post continues below.
Donald Trump of course, doesn’t like that she’s angry.
Last Wednesday he called the former Democratic nominee “crooked” on Twitter, saying she’s blaming “everybody (and everything) but herself for her election loss”.
But now, as headlines about Clinton’s book refuse to go away, Trump has reverted to another level entirely.
Yes, one of the most powerful men in the world has decided the best way to deal with something he doesn’t like is by re-tweeting a doctored video that shows himself hitting a golf ball into the back of Clinton’s head, knocking her over as she enters an airplane.

Did he want to have an affair with Hillary and she turned him down? Because I don't know how else you'd explain his vengeful OBSESSION with her. I mean, he WON! So why is he looking back? If he lost and she beat him, his obsession with her might make sense. But he is acting like he is frustrated and angry and looking for revenge, as if she did him wrong and he lost not won. He is very sick and very very unhinged. At first his obsession was hilarious, now it has stopped being funny, it is now down-right creepy and scary. One would think he didn't have a job to do as President.
He's responding to the book she wrote (more or less) about him.
Who's obsessed with who?
She wrote a book about him? When? Only recent book I know that she wrote it was about the campaign, especially Bernie Sanders.
You mean the one that one reviewer wrote: 'Mr Trump looms large in the book, with the President being mentioned every few pages'
You mean the book she wrote about the Presidential campaign? Rather hard not to mention your opponent would the book is about the Presidential campaign.
Thanks ladies. I needed a good laugh. That video was comedy gold.
