We sure hope you weren’t part of any crazy drinking game during the first US Presidential Debate between Democratic and Republican nominees, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump respectively. If you expected a circus, well, you got it. Out of the remarks that made people laugh the most, Donald Trump repeated once again that Clinton lacked a presidential “look” and went on to explain that she just didn’t have “the stamina” that being a president requires, and that sent social media users screaming #mansplaining all over. However, Hillary pointed out some of her highlights as a secretary of state, and replied that Trump “can talk to me about stamina” when he accomplishes as much.

She also pointed out an incident with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whom he called “Miss Piggy” back when she was a beauty queen, because she gained weight due to the pressures of being such a public figure. “He tried to change from looks to stamina, but this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,” Clinton said. Trump defended himself before adding that he had planned to say “something extremely rough” to Mrs. Clinton and her family, but decided against it.

Another huge point was the Iraq war. Hillary repeatedly pressed Trump’s claim that he had opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, which has been contradicted by public statements he has made in the past, including a tweet that might soon be deleted. “Donald supported the invasion of Iraq,” he said. “That is absolutely proved over and over again.” “Wrong,” Trump interjected. “Wrong.”
