On Tuesday's episode of Donald Trump Says Things, the Republican candidate decided to tweet his reactions to the first Democratic presidential debate.

But rather than focus on Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, Trump focused on kicking the three other candidates while they were down. And they were way down, at least in the polls.

Should be interesting but too bad the three guys at《1% will be taking up so much time - but who knows, maybe a star will be born (unlikely)— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

Just keep kicking 'em, Donald...

Can anyone imagine Chafee as president? No way.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

O'Malley, as former Mayor of Baltimore, has very little chance.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

"@jennasnowy69: @realDonaldTrump why is Webb there??"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

"@Iamnewhere: Webb is trying to be @realDonaldTrump and its not working." He is not doing well!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

Sometimes his tweets were a bit puzzling. He often tweeted about things that happened several minutes before, and he criticized the candidates for not mentioning veterans, even though they had talked about veteran education legislation multiple times.

Notice that illegal immigrants will be given ObamaCare and free college tuition but nothing has been mentioned about our VETERANS #DemDebate— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

Maybe that's because he spent a lot of time just retweeting people who tweeted about watching him tweet, making it a kind of meta-moment.

"@mikerichterp: @realDonaldTrump I joined Twitter tonight just to hear Mr.Trump tweet about this silly debate.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

"@theericker: @realDonaldTrump not watching debate....just your tweets" Nice!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015

"@KOsbornSullivan: On our 25th anniversary my husband and I are happily staying in to watch #DemDebate and read @realDonaldTrump comments.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2015
