Hillary Clinton took a page out of Donald Trump’s book with a series of tweets posted at 3:20 a.m.
“It’s 3:20am. As good a time as any to tweet about national service,” Clinton posted early Saturday morning. “There are hundreds of thousands more @AmeriCorps applications than spots. Horrible! Let’s expand it from 75,000 annual members to 250,000.”
Clinton also extolled the value of programs like the Peace Corps, but said that many young people don’t sign up for it because of student loan debt. “Let’s use GOOD JUDGMENT & lighten that burden,” she wrote.
“Remember, don’t believe the haters who describe America as hopeless and broken,” she concluded. “We should lift each other up, not tear each other down.”
The tweets were sent in response to Donald Trump’s pre-dawn rant in which he criticized Clinton and Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe who claims Trump referred to her as “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” after her pageant win.
“Using Alicia M in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT! Hillary was set up by a con,” Trump tweeted at 5:19 a.m. ET.
He followed up minutes later by accusing Clinton of helping Machado become a citizen. “Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?”

“Star Trek” cast members, producers and writers from all of the franchise’s series and movies have endorsed a new Facebook group called Trek Against Trump.
“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump,” the group said in a statement on its Facebook page.
In a recent video, the cast of the NBC sitcom reprise their characters to weigh in on the 2016 presidential election.
Will and Grace, of course, are voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, while Karen is committed to her close personal friend, Donald Trump. She helped him pick out Melania and everything.
"She's going to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will ensure your civil rights," said Grace.
The director launched the "Save The Day" campaign with a star-studded ad that encourages people to go out and vote. In conjunction, he released a star-studded video titled "Important" and although it doesn't mention either candidate by name, it does reference "a man whose signature move is firing someone," as well as describing one of the candidates as "a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
The Prophets of Rage guitarist teamed with Ryan Harvey and Ani DiFranco to record "Old Man Trump."
The song was originally an unfinished Woody Guthrie protest piece intended for his landlord who happened to be Fred Trump, Donald's father.
Harvey told the Guardian: “You’ve got Donald Trump talking about making America great again ... and so here’s Woody Guthrie, one of the definers of American history, coming out after his death and saying ‘No, it wasn’t a great era and in fact your father was part of the problem.’”
Eminem is known for not holding back when it comes to diss tracks, but this time he let it all out in a track titled "Campaign Speech" -- eight minutes of anti-Trump freestyle, among other topics like Trayvon Martin and Colin Kaepernick.
"A f---ing loose cannon, who's blunt with his hand on the button who doesn't have to answer to no one," raps Eminem. "Great idea."
