Political moves of Chelsea and Hillary Clinton seem to be serious. Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent a video message on last Friday to the Democratic National Committee (DNC)’s gathering where a new party chairman was elected and her daughter, Chelsea, continued to strongly criticize U.S. President Donald Trump through media interviews and her Twitter. American news media analyzed the mother and daughter messages in various ways and predicted Hillary’s come back to the political stage by saying, “Hillary is not over yet” or “Chelsea Clinton is already gearing up to enter politics.”

“Ideas we championed are now inspiring leaders and activists across out country. Nearly 66 million votes are fueling grassroots energy and activism. And everywhere, people are marching, protesting, tweeting, speaking out and working for an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big hearted," Hillary said at the video message. "From the women’s march to airports where communities are welcoming immigrants, refugees and people of every faith, to town hall meetings where people are speaking up for health care, the environment, good jobs and all the other issues that deserve our passionate support.” The Washington Post reported that Hillary delivered her first political message after losing the presidential election and several liberal Internet media reviewed, “Hillary is back at last.”

In an interview with the New York Times on Saturday for her new book "Governing Global Health," she was asked, “If you could require President Trump to read one book, what would it be?” She answered, “There is a maxim: never trust a man who reads only one book. I took it as a larger warning against anyone who thinks they have a monopoly on both the truth and the source of that truth.” She also stressed, “I hope every person in a position of power and authority reads (more). I think the greater the power, the greater the responsibility to read—and to listen.” She compared Trump to a dictator. Recently, she attended anti-Trump "I am a Muslim Too" protest with her two-year-old daughter in New York and did not hesitate to engage in political activities. “Last November, Page Six reported that Chelsea was being groomed for a Congressional run,” The New York Post reported.
