The White House engaged in a social media exchange on Tuesday, attempting to criticize former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, but the effort drew criticism from those who turned the tables.
The official White House X account responded to a prompt from UberFacts, which asked, "Today is Social Media Day — What social media post will forever remain unmatched?"
The White House account referenced a post from October 2016, when Clinton shared a childhood photo of herself with the caption, "Happy birthday to this future president." Clinton ultimately lost the presidential election to Donald Trump weeks later.
Supporters of former President Trump celebrated the White House's post as a successful jab. However, critics quickly responded by sharing posts and remarks associated with Trump and the White House that they deemed more fitting for the "unmatched" description, suggesting the White House's attempt had backfired.
