In the wake of his first head-to-head with Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump‘s performance has been met with glowing praise, fierce condemnation, and everything in between. Depending on how you feel about the mogul though, online conversation would tell you that he either had a clean-sweep, or that he did so badly that it’s time to slap him again with some Internet mockery.
While it has yet to be determined who won with voters last night, the hashtag #TrumpWon emerged on Twitter overnight. Naturally, Trump himself took notice.
The #1 trend on Twitter right now is #TrumpWon – thank you!

After that, his staffers and supporters followed along by touting their man’s display:
Same polls showed DJT winning primary debates while the 'experts' & 'gurus' indicated us losing via theirs. How did that work out?#TrumpWon https://t.co/AmoA4zs6Mr

Unfortunately for the Trump train, it seems that the trending topic was hijacked by critics who rather thought that the GOP nominee crashed and burned in front of Clinton last night:
