WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — Hillary Clinton fired off a icy rebuke Thursday to her rival Donald Trump after he savaged her record upon accepting the Republican nomination for president, telling him: “We are better than this.”

Clinton’s one-line tweet came midway through a sweeping acceptance speech in which Trump attacked the Democratic former secretary of state for a legacy of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness.”
