Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off in the first presidential debate at Hofstra University. Clinton frequently baited Trump, who spent much of the debate on defense about his business record, taxes, and treatment of women. When Clinton mentioned Trump's father's loan and his treatment of a former Miss Universe, Trump became visibly agitated. Trump claimed he had a "much better temperament" than Clinton, which drew laughter from the audience. Post-debate polls showed Clinton as the clear winner.
