Social media had a lot to say about that 90 minute shouting match.

The gloves were off for the second US presidential debate as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton went head to head on issues from late-night Tweeting to the place of Muslim Americans, and of course Trump's recent groping scandal.

Here's what the Internet had to say about it:

It got real nasty real quick

After beginning without a handshake

And momentarily turning into a sing-a-long

Then Trump was pulled up for bragging about sexually harassing women and deflected to ISIS

And the locker-room excuse just didn't fly

Before rape claims were made against Bill Clinton

And Michelle Obama's name got tossed around

The sniffles were back (and got their own Twitter account)

And some people questioned why Trump stayed on his feet between questions

Or hovered over Clinton's shoulders

Then there were the audience members who couldn't hide their feelings

One Muslim woman asked where her place was in America

We went back to Clinton's 'acid washed' emails

Then there were the people who supported Trump's claim for sending Clinton to jail

And others who questioned his use of the word "gentleman"

The man himself went on to applaud his own Twitter record

And confuse people about the pronunciation of "Aleppo"

Before ending on some unexpected compliments
