While Hillary Clinton lays relatively low and Michelle Obama kicks back in an island paradise, Chelsea Clinton has become a relentless, vocal critic of President Trump and his policies. 。

With a signature mix of mild sarcasm and exasperation, she routinely serves up sharp commentary on the 45th president to her 1.5 million followers on Twitter.

Clinton, like both of her parents, must carefully balance her resistance against the risk of appearing like a so-called sore loser. Indeed, #MAGA supporters love taunting Clinton with reminders of her mother's defeat. If the trolling irks or intimidates Clinton, it doesn't show.。

Instead of getting embroiled in Twitter fights with egg avatars, Clinton focuses on her targets for the day, like fighting the refugee and Muslim ban, answering the global gag rule executive order with scientific research and writing the verbal equivalent of a face-palm response to Trump's incoherent speech at a Black History Month gathering. 。

On Thursday, following Trump's bizarre press conference, Clinton helpfully supplied him with an answer to a question about rising anti-Semitism after he struggled with it for the second day in a row. "One would think he would have thought of an answer since yesterday," she said. "Here's one: There's no place for any bigotry, ever, in America."  。

This is new territory for Clinton. Even though she campaign for her mom, her tweets were typically mild, with stories on global health, scientific research and child development prior to the inauguration. Maybe she was, like her mom and the Obamas, trying to respect a peaceful transfer of power, or felt some deference toward her friend, and the president's daughter, Ivanka Trump. Whatever held her back, however, doesn't seem to matter anymore. 。

Thanks for signing up!。

Here's how she's pulling off the high-wire act: 。

Clinton's retweet game is strong. She clearly carefully chooses which voices to amplify with her sizable platform. 。

5. Tweet about good people.。

Clinton's Twitter feed would be pretty bleak if it only took on Trump and his administration. Instead, she utilizes the value of good counter-programming, particularly when it involves good people inspiring others, and doing the right thing.
