Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump tweeted out his displeasure with the topics raised during the first debate Monday night.

“Nothing on emails. Nothing on the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And nothing on #Benghazi,” Trump tweeted at 10:40 p.m. as the debate ended.

Nothing on emails. Nothing on the corrupt Clinton Foundation. And nothing on #Benghazi. #Debates2016#debatenight

The relatively vague debate topics moderator Lester Holt chose for the contest were a subject of criticism in the days leading up to the debate and they drew the ire of Trump and Clinton supporters on social media Monday night.

Holt was in Hillary's camp- challenging, fact-checking Trump continuously, not ONCE challenged or fact-checked her. Disgraceful.#debatenight

These answers are veering from topic to topic — Holt so far has been less involved than a WWE referee. #debatenight
