(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Hillary Clinton faced a surge of ridicule as the anniversary of her now-infamous tweet forecasting her presidency resurfaced, reminding the public of her failed aspirations.
The post, shared on October 26, 2016, with the caption “Happy birthday to this future president” along with a youthful image of Clinton, has since become a magnet for annual mockery, following her defeat to Donald Trump.
“Happy 7 year anniversary to one of the worst posts in history,” mocked Twitter personality ALX, encapsulating the sentiment of many online. Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, quipped, “This tweet continues to age like fine wine.” In a separate post, Fournier added, “You president yet?”

Among the voices of scorn was political activist Scott Pressler, who opted for a straightforward, “Bless your heart,” while Twitter personality Tim Young joined the chorus of criticism, marking the occasion with a picture of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, captioned simply with, “Happy Birthday!”
Reflecting on the broader political implications, Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, emphasized, “Never ever forget what Donald J. Trump saved this country from…” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, added a touch of sarcasm, commenting, “Happy birthday to this tweet that continues to age like fine milk.”

Adding to the choir of mockery, Rep. Troy E. Nehls, R-Texas, chimed in, saying, “This tweet continues to age like fine wine.”
Hollywood actor James Wood did not hold back, exclaiming, “And happy birthday to the single greatest tweet in the history of Twitter. The inspiration for tee-shirts and dart boards all across this glorious nation!”
Podcast host Jack Posobiec took a different route, saying “The reason we have seen all the censorship. All the crackdowns. All the weaponization of government, is because this one tweet did not come true. You may not accept it yet, but you will.”
