  • by: Alan Duke

Donald Trump gloated via Twitter and Instagram about passing the magic 1,237 delegate mark, making him the presumptive GOP presidential nomination.

"Today we, together, won the Republican Nomination for President!" Trump said in a tweet that linked to an Instagram video.

The video was a montage of the naysayers -- including President Obama and Mitt Romney -- who doubted he could win the GOP nomination. It then went to breaking news alerts from Thursday, May 26, 2016 announcing he had won.

Today we, together, won the Republican Nomination for President! #Trump2016 #MakeAmericaGreatAgain
