Twitter permanently banned Donald Trump from the platform Friday.

And former secretary of state Hillary Clinton – who Trump has relentlessly attacked and insulted via the social media site for years – responded with one of her old tweets and a single emoji.

Trump’s 2016 Democratic rival retweeted a post from her presidential campaign in which she demanded the then-businessman “delete your account” after he mocked her for being endorsed by former President Barack Obama.

Clinton shared the June 2016 post with a black checkmark.

Trump did not respond to Clinton’s ding because, well, he’s banned.

Following Trump’s dangerous encouragement of the violent mob that stormed the US Capitol this week, Twitter cited “the risk of further incitement of violence” as the reason for booting the voted-out president from the network.

Trump has also been indefinitely suspended from Facebook and Instagram.

In a lengthy statement posted to his account on Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said it had become clear that “Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.”

He added: “We believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great,” saying that the outgoing president’s ban would last for at least two weeks but could stretch on “indefinitely”.
