Though political analysts said the debate was in favour of the first woman Democrat nominee to the White House, both sides claimed victory after snap polls predicted a neck-and-neck win.

A fiery debate moderated by NBC’s Lester Holt saw both candidates discuss their views and plans over US economy, jobs, terror and racism.

It didn’t take long for the war cry to spill on to social media, with people using the hashtag #TrumpWins to mock Donald Trump after the Republicans celebrated his ‘win’ on the microblogging website.

Clinton, former US secretary of state, chimed in a day after the presidential debate. “I felt so positive about it,” she was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Trump too tweeted on Tuesday in his usual boastful self: “Well, now they’re saying that I not only won the NBC Presidential Forum, but last night the big debate. Nice! (sic).”

And now take a look at how Tweeple mocked Trump:
