People Keep Using Meme Of Hillary Clinton's Favorite Fleece To Troll Trump

A lot of people want to know what Hillary Clinton's secret is.

How do you live in the public eye for so long and deal with media scrutiny, blatant sexism, endless yet ultimately unsuccessful presidential campaigns, scandals and the brutal demands of governance and international conflict without giving up?

The answer, apparently, is a multicolored fleece which imbues her with magical, soothing properties.

One Twitter user noticed that in several pictures of Hillary over a 21-year period, it seems she is wearing the exact same fleece, and people are losing it.

Twitter

They're using the ancient fleece sweater to mock Trump's lack of political experience. Trump just entered the world of politics. This fleece has been in the game for DECADES.

Harry Potter has his father's invisibility cloak. Hillary Clinton has an ugly sweater.

Twitter

She's had it for years.

Twitter

Understandably, Twitter has fallen head over heels for this revelation.

Twitter

And, predictably, the pun work has been flooding in, mostly to compare the fleece to our president-elect.

 

Twitter

Kind of can't believe this woman didn't use "Fiscally conservative" in this joke, but not everyone is perfect.

Twitter

Most people found the fleece endearing.

And a respite from the current landscape to cleanse our scorched palettes.

"Memes won't save us," huh, Liz? Then explain this:

Of course, because Hillary is to conspiracy theorists what an exposed 100 watt light bulb on a porch in New Orleans is to mosquitos, the conspiracy theories rolled in.

Twitter

I legitimately don't know if this is a joke or not. I hope it is, but considering some of the actual conspiracy theories lobbed at Clinton, I just don't know anymore.

Twitter

Most people just wanted to know where she got it, and how they could get their own ancient, magical cardigan.

Twitter

The closest anyone has come is this fleece on Ebay. But it's not the exact same one. Maybe the name of the fleece is hidden in those 30,000 EMAILS?!?!

I'm starting a petition for the FBI to take another look at her emails so that we can GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS FLEECE SCANDAL.
