TORONTO – The tweets came fast and furious during Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential announcement, most of which were at his expense.

The candid real estate mogul launched into an almost 40-minute-long, borderline-racist rambling speech Tuesday, bewildering much of the Internet.

Just as The Donald said “I am officially running for president of the United States,” social media users quickly chimed in on the new presidential candidate.

I can’t take Donald Trump seriously because of his surname.
And his hair.
And pretty much everything he says and does.
