US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton joked about running for President of Malta when she opened her speech at the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday. The Hill said she was mocking recent speculation that she might run for president in 2016.

"Thank you and welcome to my announcement to run for president of Malta," Clinton said at the New York City event.

Clinton, who has received attention recently for displaying her humour and lighter side — she has participated in an Internet meme about herself and was seen dancing at a nightclub in Cartagena, Colombia — didn't disappoint during the event, where she delivered the keynote address.
