Donald Trump got all up in Hillary Clinton's face during the first presidential debate on video lucah tumblrMonday night. Like an annoying schoolboy, the Republican candidate spoke over Clinton, loudly expressed his opinions and pretty much shut her down on all counts.
In contrast, Clinton smiled, shimmied and patiently waited for the man to finish his rant.
In a count by Vox, the interruptions hit an all-time high of 51 times. That included at least 25 times in the first 26 minutes of the debate. Clinton, by Vox's numbers, interrupted Trump just 17 times. To help you put yourself in Clinton's shoes, Vox shared a video of every. single. interruption.

The amount of interruptions, which included Trump on multiple occasions just shouting "WRONGGG," has once again highlighted Trump's bullish ways. Many people on Twitter called out his behavior for what they saw as sexism and mansplaining.
sexism is a man screaming he has a better temperament than a woman who has been patiently waiting to speak after being interrupted 10 times

"You need stamina," says man who has sighed, scowled, grown impatient and angrily interrupted under pressure of 90 minutes of debating

My rage at Hillary having to debate this clown is multiplied by my rage for every woman who's even been interrupted by an ignorant man-baby.

So many women watching are cringing, thinking back to the times men have interrupted, screamed over, & belittled them. #debatenight
