Now Donald Trump says it’s Bill Clinton who ‘doesn’t know much’ as pair engage in social media slanging match over phone call after election
The President-elect hit back with mocking put down
DONALD TRUMP and Bill Clinton are locked in a social media war of words after the former president taunted the up coming Commander in Chief saying: "he doesn't know much."
The President-elect hit back at the husband of defeated Democrat candidate Hillary on Tuesday, after he was overheard by a reporter from a newspaper saying billionaire called him after the election.
Taking to Twitter he tweeted mockingly: "Bill Clinton stated that I called him after the election. Wrong, he called me (with a very nice congratulations). He doesn't know much ... "He then continued: "Especially how to get people, even with an unlimited budget, out to vote in the vital swing states ( and more). They focused on wrong states."
However not to be outdone, Clinton then tweeted back stating: " "Here's one thing @realDonaldTrump and I can agree on -- I called him after the election."
The social media slap downs started on the back of a column piece which appeared in .
Clinton made his feelings known while browsing in a bookstore, in Katonah, near his home in Chappaqua, in the US.
A newspaper reporter from the publication was in the shop and overheard him telling a punter: "James Comey cost her (Hillary) the election."
Apparently it was Clinton's "unmistakable voice from Hope, Arkansas" which gave him away.
He was then asked what he thought of Trump and he responded: "He doesn't know much.
"One thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote for him."
The editorial wasn't published online, but uploaded photos of the print edition where the column appeared.
The former president responded: "You would need to have an single-digit IQ not to recognize what was going on."
Clinton then went on to say he felt the letter which was sent to Congress less than two weeks before the US went to the polls, caused terrible damage to his wife's campaign.
He then went on to say American's didn't seem to realise the importance of the fact no evidence had been found to indicate illegal activity.
