Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared on Instagram that she briefly “daydreamed” during a recent public event about a dramatic national announcement declaring that President Donald Trump is “gone.”
Clinton posted a clip from a Nov. 18 conversation she took part in with historian Heather Cox Richardson and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, at an event titled “History Has its Eyes on Us.” She also shared the video on X, writing in the caption, “When a fire announcement interrupts the event… you might find yourself daydreaming about a ‘Goodbye Trump.'”
In the video, a fire-related announcement over the venue’s system appears to prompt Clinton’s aside.
“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,'” Clinton said, drawing loud applause from the audience.
“But the reason we’re here tonight is to remind all of us, including ourselves, that that can’t happen unless we make it happen,” she added, emphasizing the need for political engagement and voter participation.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The event benefited Latino Victory and Onward Together, which Clinton said support candidates committed to resisting what she described as a “tide of intolerance and cruelty.”
Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, has continued to be a prominent critic of Trump in the years since losing the presidential race to him.
Recently, she criticized Trump’s renovation plans for a new ballroom at the White House, posting on X, “It’s not his house.”
“It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,” she added.
Her comments sparked pushback from conservatives, who resurfaced a 2001 controversy in which she and former President Bill Clinton returned more than $28,000 worth of items after questions were raised about whether certain gifts should have been treated as White House property, according to The Washington Post at the time.
