If you couldn't sit through 90 minutes of awkward pacing and arguing Sunday night, you can just read one tweet.

If that doesn't sell you, it's Shonda Rhimes approved.

That tweet wasn't the only one written by a Muslim reacting to Trump's call for Muslims to report suspicious activity during the town hall debate in St. Louis.

Muslims took to Twitter in droves to mock Trump's request, which he made after a town hall participant asked how Trump would address Islamophobia in the United States. They poked at his answer using the hashtag #MuslimsReportStuff.

"One thing we have to do is we have to make sure that because there is a problem, whether we like it or not — and we could be very politically correct, but whether we like it or not, there is a problem and we have to be sure that Muslims come in and report when they see something going on," Trump had said. "When they see hatred going on, they have to report it."

BONUS: The opening handshake skip set the tone rather well
