Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton attempted to jab President Donald Trump on Twitter Thursday in response to his criticism of her new book.
Trump mocked Clinton's tell-all memoir, What Happened, late Wednesday night by criticizing her on Twitter for blaming "everybody and everything" for her loss in the 2016 presidential election.
"Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss," Trump wrote. "She lost the debates and lost her direction!"

He also tweeted that the "deplorables," a name that Clinton gave half of Trump supporters during the campaign and doubled down on earlier this week, "came back to haunt Hillary."

Clinton responded to Trump by offering him a copy of It Takes a Village, a book she wrote in 1996 while she was first lady, instead of her new memoir.
"If you didn't like that book, try this one — some good lessons in here about working together to solve problems," Clinton tweeted. "Happy to send a copy."

Clinton appeared to be hinting that Trump is not working with Democrats, though he has met with several Democratic lawmakers this week to discuss tax reform and immigration, among other issues. Trump hosted House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) at the White House on Wednesday night to discuss the Dream Act, which would provide legal protections for illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as minors, as well as Obamacare and fiscal deadlines slated for December.
