At least 40,000 people or so are talking on Facebook about the fact that “Trump lost” the debate — even as the hashtag #TrumpWon trends on Twitter. As seen in the below tweet from Trump’s own Twitter account, Trump posted several screenshots of polls that claim Trump won the debate. However, some people posting tweets under the #TrumpWon hashtag feel that the #TrumpWon hashtag — along with Donald’s Twitter claims of winning the debate — is just another joke in a long line of jokes being made about Trump online.

The jokes surrounding the #TrumpWon hashtag feature people writing that Trump may have won — but not the debate, instead, they claim Trump won the “biggest a******” award and other such jokes. A sampling of those jokes being published on social media under the #TrumpWon hashtag on Twitter can be read below.
“The microphone wasn’t working, the lighting was bad, my shoelace was untied, my drugs didn’t kick in, the questions were hard… # TrumpWon ”
“ TrumpWon third place last night, that’s how good he was.”
“ # TrumpWon among voters who were watching football… And hate women.”
“ # TrumpWon at being completely unprepared and sounding like a blithering idiot.”
“The only contest # TrumpWon was, ‘Who could be the most disruptive, reactive, combative, and simplistic.’”
“Federal tax evasion makes me smart. # RidiculousMantras # TrumpWon ”
“How is # TrumpWon a trending topic this morning? Did we watch the same thing?”

Most of the tweets using the #TrumpWon hashtag aren’t from people who really believe that Trump won his debate against Hillary last night. Instead, Twitter users are attaching the #TrumpWon hashtag to plenty of GIFs like the one seen below, with video of various people laughing. Some of those GIFs including Hillary guffawing in her famous hearty way of laughing.
