Social media erupted over Trump's comments on the Clintons, especially Hillary.

"He's freaking out if he's talking nice about a lady that he's wanted in jail for practically his entire political career," a Threads user pointed out.

Another agreed, "They are going to take him down."

And this gleeful comment, "They're coming for you Orange boy," with three laughing emojis, above a post on X by Hillary Clinton.

"He thinks he can show love to the Clintons and get out of this. Lmao," another mocked.

The following day, Trump doubled down on his sudden praise of the Clintons, telling NBC host Tom Llamas that he was "bothered" by people going after Bill Clinton and his wife.

But with just two blistering posts, the former first lady knocked Trump back on his heels and set the stage for a showdown that could make him regret every time he threw her husband under the bus " a reminder that a couple days of forced niceties won't undo years of bad blood.

"For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath. They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction," Clinton stated in one X post on Thursday, Feb. 5.

In her second post, Clinton called the upcoming deposition "games" and took direct aim at House Oversight Committee chair and Tennessee Republican James Comer.

"So let's stop the games. If you want this fight, @RepJamesComer, let's have it"in public. You love to talk about transparency. There's nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there," she promised.
