Brief Summary
Hillary Clinton is back in the spotlight, gleefully recounting a moment of shared pettiness with Barack Obama at the opening of his presidential library. Clinton bragged about mocking Donald Trump’s lack of a Nobel Peace Prize while sitting behind the Obamas, joking that the former president was likely suffering in the '10th circle of hell' while listening to a list of his predecessor's accomplishments. The anecdote serves as a reminder of the lingering bitterness from the 2016 election cycle, a sentiment echoed by the viral circulation of old clips where prominent Democrats confidently predicted Trump would never sit in the Oval Office.
