Time for an epic clapback! Colton Underwood may be best known for his time on The Bachelor, but he's got more than his hunky looks going for him. The reality star addressed Donald Trump in a recent tweet, and what he had to say was so valid.

Reality TV might sound like a bad comparison when it comes to political matters, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic, but that's exactly what Trump did on March 29 when comparing his ratings to that of The Bachelor.

"President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’ Numbers are continuing to rise," Trump's tweet read.

However, when the tweet caught the eye of former Bachelor Colton, he was not impressed. "Hardly a time to boast ratings," he began. "But as someone who had both the Coronavirus and the title of the Bachelor... we need to worry about different numbers and statistics right now. Like test, death rate, and treatment."

While the tweet now appears to have been deleted, a fan on Reddit was able to capture a screenshot of the exchange first.

As fans know, Colton has been very open about the fact that he contracted Coronavirus, and recovery has been a struggle for him. He detailed his symptoms in a video on Twitter.

Thankfully, Colton seems to be doing much better now, but he's definitely learned that Coronavirus is no joke. He's ready to shut down anyone who isn't taking the matter seriously—even when The Bachelor is involved.
