Your support makes all the difference.Donald Trump has challenged the "worst and biggest loser of all time" Hillary Clinton to run against him again in the 2020 US presidential election.
Taking to Twitter, the President said: “She just can’t stop, which is so good for the Republican Party. Hillary, get on with your life and give it another try in three years!”
His comments come after Ms Clinton, who won the popular vote in the 2016 election, questioned the “legitimacy” of the billionaire’s win.
During an interview with US news website Mother Jones, the Democrat said Russian interference “was one of the major contributors to the outcome” of the election.
She also claimed that Republican measures such as laws requiring voters to have ID cards “contributed to the outcome” as they were an effort to make it harder for Democrat supporters to cast their ballot.
According to a study by the University of Wisconsin, African American voters, who overwhelmingly supported Ms Clinton, were three times less likely as whites to vote due to the law.
Asked if she still supported her claim last year during a presidential debate that if elected Mr Trump would be Russian president Vladimir Putin’s “puppet”, the 70-year-old said she did.
“I don’t know how the president of the United States, with all of the concerns about the integrity of our elections, could meet with Putin just recently and basically say, ‘Well, you know, he told me again he didn’t do it’,” she said.
“I can’t believe that he’s so naive. I think that he hopes or expects the rest of us to be naive, or at least the people who support him to be naive. But this is a serious cyberattack on America.”
