Hillary Clinton has trolled Donald Trump over his permanent ban from social media site Twitter, taking to the very platform Trump is no longer able to communicate on to do so.
In case you somehow missed the news, the @realDonaldTrump account was banned from the site earlier this week.
Trump has had his Twitter account permanently banned from the platform "due to the risk of further incitement of violence", the company has said. Referring specifically to the "@realDonaldTrump account" in a statement posted to Twitter's blog site, the company advised that the account had been permanently suspended.
Watch: Did Hillary Clinton perfectly predict Donald Trump's reaction to the 2020 election?Twitter's statement on Trump's permanent suspension from the platform reads in part:
"After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.
"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
"However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement."
And celebrities have been responding to the decision since it was announced. Sacha Baron Cohen called the move "the most important moment in the history of social media."
Taking to Twitter, the Borat creator wrote:
"This is the most important moment in the history of social media. The world’s largest platforms have banned the world's biggest purveyor of lies, conspiracies and hate. To every Facebook and Twitter employee, user and advocate who fought for this--the entire world thanks you!"
And now, Hillary Clinton, Trump's former rival for the US presidency, has trolled the current President over his ban from the platform.
Way back in 2016, Clinton famously tweeted to Trump telling him to delete his account.
Now, Clinton has returned to the tweet in light of recent developments, giving it a quick update in the form of a single tick.
And unsurprisingly, the tweet has quickly gone incredibly viral, with more than 900k likes and 140k retweets since it was first posted.

Donald Trump has left Twitter perplexed by sharing a bizarre three-word statement.
The former president, 75, had the statement posted to shared to Twitter by his spokesperson Liz Harrington yesterday (August 11), and it was shared with no clarification or context, Independent reports.
The statement simply read: "Bullies never fight."
The short address was also shared by the Director of Communications for Save America and Donald J Trump, Taylor Budowich.
Washington Examiner is also reporting that the cryptic message was also sent to all recipients of the former president's email list on Wednesday.
The statement did not go unnoticed on the social media website, and people were quick to speculate about what the former president could have meant by the three-word address.
One person simply questioned: "LOL. What the f**k is going on?"
A second, meanwhile, questioned why Trump could still post statements via his staff to Twitter after being banned from the platform earlier this year.
They wrote: "why is she allowed to keep posting statements from someone who is banned from Twitter? [sic]"
A third jokes: "He sounds like he is having an excellent morning."
Another Twitter user mockingly commented: "So true: 'BULLIES NEVER FIGHT'. They usually incite others to do it for them while they hide in a White House bunker."
Meanwhile, another simply pondered: "Succinct, yet vague."
Then there were some Twitter users who simply used the president's statement as a chance to imitate it with their own three-word statements.
One wrote: "Purple monkey dishwasher."
A second added: "Yellow matter custard."
The Independent reports that Maggie Haberman, a senior correspondent for The New York Times, speculated that the president was referring to the resignation of Andrew Cuomo as the governor of New York following sexual assault allegations.
Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in January in the wake of the January 6 assault on the Capitol "due to the risk of further incitement of violence".

People on social media are sharing a resurfaced video of Hillary Clinton "predicting" Donald Trump's reaction to the fall-out of the 2020 presidential election.
Yesterday (Saturday, November 7), news and media outlets across the US officially projected* Joe Biden to become the next president of the United States.
Watch - Did Hillary Clinton "predict" Donald Trump's reaction to the 2020 election?
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/1W89HrzU-Q0L14jDU.mp4||1W89HrzU]]
In response to the Democrat's projected victory, Donald Trump has made several statements vehemently disagreeing with those projections.
On Saturday, Donald Trump released a written statement in which he declared that the election was "far from over" and that his campaign would be pursuing legal action.
Trump's written statement reads:
"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed.
"The simple fact is this election is far from over."
The statement added: "Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."
In addition, Trump, 74, took to Twitter last night in which he falsely claimed that he "won the election" after receiving "71,000,000 legal votes".
The first post - written in all-caps - read:
"THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!"
The president also stated that "bad things happened" in the counting rooms, but there is currently no evidence to support Trump's additional claims regarding illegal votes.
Now, people are taking to Twitter to claim that Hillary Clinton - who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 presidential election - predicted the incumbent president's reaction to the 2020 election four years ago.
In a video taken from the final presidential debate of 2016, Hillary can be seen telling Fox moderator Chris Wallace about Trump's mindset when it comes to losing. She says:
"Every time Donald thinks things aren’t going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him.
"He lost the Iowa Caucus, he lost the Wisconsin primary. He said the Republican primary was rigged against him."
Clinton added: "There was even a time when he didn’t get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged.
Hillary finishes by saying: "This is a mindset. This is how Donald thinks. And it’s funny but it’s also really troubling. That is not the way our democracy works."
After the video resurfaced on social media this week, people could help but call that Clinton "predicted" Trump's reaction to the aftermath of the 2020 election.
"Hillary appears to have predicted today’s #TrumpMeltdown 4 years ago," one Twitter user wrote.

David Weissman also shared the clip, writing alongside it: "Wow, @HillaryClinton knew this was going to happen too."

"Hillary predicted many of the things Trump would end up doing following his election. She would oftentimes speak the truth but some of y’all wouldn’t listen bc you were told to [sic]," Twitter user Jacob Dean wrote.
*Biden has been declared the projected winner of the election by NBC, CNN, BBC News, and many others.
It is important to note that it is common for media agencies to reveal their election projections based on voting analysis and counted ballots.
