Clinton and Pretty Much Everyone Else Had Some Strong Reactions to Trump Making It Official

Everyone has some pretty strong thoughts on Donald Trump officially becoming the nominee of one of American’s two major political parties.

Trump himself took a yuge victory lap on Twitter:

Such a great honor to be the Republican Nominee for President of the United States. I will work hard and never let you down! AMERICA FIRST!

And Hillary Clinton made it clear she relishes the opportunity:

Trump officially the GOP nominee. It's his party now. Shame on every politician & staffer who fought for this, or gave in to this. Disgrace.

Still #nevertrump. Being the nominee doesn't change the fact he's a narcissist sociopath unprepared to manage a Waffle House.

I hope you're happy, Trump enthusiasts. Because what comes next is all on you. ALL OF IT.
