Hillary Clinton delivered what was probably the best speech of her campaign on Thursday, calling Donald Trump “temperamentally unfit” to be president and pointing out just how “dangerously incoherent” the presumptive Republican nominee is.

Not only did Trump misspell the word “teleprompter” in his haste to respond to Hillary Clinton’s rousing speech – sad! – but the former Secretary of State’s campaign quickly shot back with a tweet of their own:

Ouch.
If the rest of the campaign resembles today, something tells me Donald Trump is going to regret ever running for president.Â
