Hillary Clinton calls Trump a 'corrupt human tornado' on Twitter

What a burn.

Hillary Clinton has zero f*cks left to give.

As talk of impeachment is dominating the news and Trump is firing off unhinged tweets at a frighteningly rapid pace, it seems the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee can no longer resist the urge to publicly comment on politics.

On Monday morning — after Trump tweeted 13 times in the span of three hours — Clinton tweeted the following at her 25.5 million followers: "The president is a corrupt human tornado."

That's it. That's the tweet.

The comment from Clinton comes after a quite a chaotic week for Trump. A White House whistleblower reported that he had a concerning call with the president of Ukraine, which ultimately led Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to back a formal impeachment inquiry and sent him spiraling into a series of rage tweets.

Though Clinton has tweeted a few occasional zingers in Trump's general direction before, this particular one is definitely the harshest, most to-the-point burn she's ever delivered.

According to Mashable's trusty Science Reporter, Mark Kaufman (who I obviously reached out to for comment upon seeing the word "tornado"), Clinton's insult is pretty powerful.

"It’s important to appreciate that tornadoes aren’t just severe events, but, according to the National Weather Service, are the most violent type of storm that exists on Earth," Mark said via Slack. "So a 'human tornado' would be in a class of exceptionally violent, spinning, devastating phenomena."

After tweeting about Trump, Clinton proceeded to recommended The Book of Gutsy Women, which she co-wrote with her daughter, Chelsea.

She also delivered a sassy reply to a tweet from Senator Kamala Harris and joked about her long national nightmare, the Email Scandal.

"Hillary Clinton served our country with distinction and always put our country first — something Trump knows nothing about," Harris tweeted in response to a Washington Post article about the State Department ramping up their probe of Clinton's former aides.

"But my emails," Clinton replied, then added, "(Thank you.)"

Clinton also recently stopped by an art exhibition at Despar Teatro Italia in Venice, Italy, where she sat for an hour and read through her infamous emails before the public.

As time passes and drama continues to follow Trump, it looks as though the former 2016 presidential nominee has no trouble stepping back in the spotlight to speak out against him.
