Hillary Clinton imagines national sound system announcing Trump’s exit with a ‘he is gone’ message

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently shared a lighthearted daydream on social media about a nationwide announcement declaring President Donald Trump's departure. 

Clinton mentioned the thought during an event held to raise funds for groups supporting candidates who, as she put it, stand against a “tide of intolerance and cruelty."

Hillary Clinton shares wishful daydream at fundraising event

In posts shared on Instagram and X on Saturday, November 23, Clinton uploaded a video clip from her November 18 conversation with historian Heather Cox Richardson and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda. The discussion was part of an event titled 'History Has Its Eyes on Us.' 

Clinton noted in her caption that a fire announcement briefly interrupted the program, which prompted her to start “daydreaming” about a “Goodbye, Trump” message broadcast across the country. She posted the same caption on both platforms: “When a fire announcement interrupts the event. You might find yourself daydreaming about a ‘Goodbye Trump.’” 

During the clip, Clinton described her imagined scene: “You know what this reminds me of, is that I wish that there could be like a huge national sound system. And we would all wake up, and they’d say, ‘Attention, attention. We have found the problem, and we have solved it, he is gone.’” The line drew significant applause from the audience.

But she also grounded the moment, adding, “The reason we’re here tonight is to remind all of us, including ourselves, that that can’t happen unless we make it happen."

The event supported Latino Victory and Onward Together, organizations Clinton highlighted as helping fund candidates pushing back against what she described as a rise in intolerance and cruelty.

Hillary Clinton revisits earlier criticism of White House renovation

Clinton’s latest remark came shortly after she criticized President Trump’s plan to demolish the White House East Wing to build a $250 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom. On October 21, she posted on X, “It’s not his house, It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,” referring to the demolition that began on October 20.

Hillary Clinton faced renewed scrutiny over past controversy 

Clinton's post immediately triggered backlash from conservatives, who resurfaced a 2001 controversy involving more than $28,000 in gifts that she and former President Bill Clinton returned after questions were raised about whether the items were personal property or belonged to the White House, as reported by The Washington Post at the time. 

Senator Ted Cruz responded on X with, “At least he didn’t steal the silverware,” a remark that quickly went viral as users revived the decades-old dispute.
