The best tweets from the third and final US presidential debate.

We can probably all agree that the best part of the current US election can be summarised in one word: memes.

You see, everyone is feeling a little disillusioned by the whole ‘a-man-who-had-his-own-reality-show-a-few-years-ago-and-hates-women-could-be-the-leader-of-the-Western-world’ thing.

Thankfully, although we live in a particularly depressing political climate, we also exist at the same time as social media — and thus, the possibility of live commentary of the joke that is Donald Trump.

So instead of trying to explain to you whatever the hell just happened in the third and final presidential debate, I’m simply going to show you via a selection of sufficiently witty tweets.

Ahem.

We fully prepared ourselves for complete chaos. Because Donald Trump doesn’t understand the concept of ‘taking turns.’

“Each candidate will have 2 minutes to answer, uninterrupted”

Trump said he wanted to keep the constitution the way it was meant to be.

THE.
CONSTITUTION.
THE
WAY
IT
WAS
MEANT
TO
BE.

1. Blacks couldn’t vote
2. Women couldn’t either
3. Slavery was legal.#debatenight pic.twitter.com/21X9B87m1w

The debate moved to the topic of abortion.

“And then he said they rip babies from the womb one day before birth!” #debatenight pic.twitter.com/Ez8tV0whuT

But wait no, seriously.

When I see men debate a woman’s right to an abortion. This is 2016 y’all. This should have been left in the 70’s. #debatenight #debate pic.twitter.com/ycA8pdKSA2

Trump used the word ‘bigly.’

Stop trying to make #bigly happen, it’s not going to happen! #debate #debatenight pic.twitter.com/nOYArlYWHn

Trump appears to know nothing about foreign policy/Russia/US intelligence. Pretty sure he says some scary shit.

Trump’s advisors: Sir, you have to stop saying ‘China.’
Trump: JAPAN
Trump’s advisors: ????#debatenight

“Bad Hombres” sounds like a Quentin Tarantino thriller starring Danny Trejo and Josh Brolin. #DebateNight #BadHombres

Hillary calls Trump Putin’s ‘puppet,’ and like the genius debater he is, Trump replies, ‘YOU’RE THE PUPPET.’

Hillary delivers the perfect contrast of her and Donald’s lives.

Trump is challenged on his alleged sexual assaults. Responds by saying a) they women accusing him are just fame hungry, and b) he hasn’t even apologised to his wife.

Yeah we all know how women LOVE the fame & attention they get when they come forward w being sexually violated #debatenight

Trump generally says a lot of things that definitely are not true.

Donald probably shouldn’t bring up fact checks. #debatenight pic.twitter.com/DqhTMCxRfm

Hillary continues to roast Trump.

Trump (incorrectly) argues he can’t be quoted.

“You don’t have any quotes from me. I’ve never made a single quote. And you can quote me on that.” -Donald Trump #debatenight

This is Hillary’s general attitude.
