Chelsea Clinton had the best response when Trump blocked a cancer patient on Twitter
Chelsea Clinton shot back after Donald Trump tweeted out a violent, bullying GIF of Hillary Clinton and then blocked a woman critical of his health care policy goals who happens to be a cancer patient.

The former first daughter posted Tuesday about Trump's latest Twitter behavior with a witty response tying together Trump's inappropriate golf GIF (which showed him "hitting" Hillary Clinton with his "powerful swing"); his thin-skinned responses to criticism; and his distracting Twitter obsession during important United Nations meetings.
The President shared a GIF of him hitting a golf ball at my mother & I didn't block him (though I did wish he had been focused on the UN). https://t.co/RJ2bMbOmB1

Laura Packard, a self-employed worker from Las Vegas, had posted earlier Tuesday about Trump's @realDonaldTrump account blocking her.
Omg. The President of the United States just personally blocked me. pic.twitter.com/MgLfwufOXC

Packard, who has stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma, has been vocal in her fight to spare the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, from being repealed and replaced by a watered-down version pushed by Trump and the GOP. The latest iteration is the so-called Cassidy-Graham health care bill slated to head to the Senate before the end of the month.
I have stage 4 cancer, and Trump & the Republicans are trying to take away my health insurance. So, yes, every day is bad.

I have stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. 1st chemo today. Obamacare is literally keeping me alive & can get me cured. If it survives. #SavetheACA

Her response to the block: "Grow the f-ck up."
Grow the fuck up @realDonaldTrump. Stop tweeting on the can and run our damn country.

It's not clear what prompted the Twitter shade from the president. But just a few days before the block, Packard had gone after Trump for his "America first" rhetoric.
Your latest TrumpCare bill would mean 32M Americans will lose their health insurance. What about putting them first? https://t.co/wPObZisLQp

Packard was able to look on the bright side in a response to Chelsea Clinton. No more Trump tweets!
Pains me every day (literally - b/c I'm in fear of my health ins.) that your mom was not elected. But now I'm spared the pain of his tweets!
