President Trump continued to mock NBC News on Thursday morning for technical issues during the first Democratic primary debate, posting a hilarious doctored video of him appearing at the debate to the tune of "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osborne.

"Thank you @MSNBC, real professionals! @chucktodd @maddow," he wrote, adding a video made by Carpe Donktum, Trump's favorite meme creator on the Internet.

Trump went after NBC News for a rather embarrassing transition into its second hour of the first Democratic primary debate, where they faced technical difficulties that forced them to cut to a commercial break.

After moderating the first half of the debate, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Lester Holt, "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, and Telumundo anchor Jose Diaz-Balart handed the telecast over to "Meet The Press" moderator Chuck Todd and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. But things derailed quickly after the candidates struggled to hear Todd's first question.

"I think we had a little mic issue in the back," Todd said as he looked towards the control room at the back of the venue, latter adding "We have the audience [audio] on."

As Todd attempted to continue with his question on gun control, microphone issues continue to be easily detected. Many of the candidates smiled awkwardly while others like Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, began laughing.

"What is happening?" Maddow asked.

"We are hearing our colleagues' audio," Todd exclaimed. "If the control room can turn off the mics... if the control room can turn off the mics of our previous moderators..."

"You know, we prepared for everything," Maddow sheepishly said. "We did not prepare for this."

"We're going to take a quick break, we're gonna get this technical situation fixed," Todd promised viewers.

The technical difficulties sparked quite a reaction on social media, including from President Trump.

"@NBCNews and @MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves for having such a horrible technical breakdown in the middle of the debate," Trump tweeted. "Truly unprofessional and only worthy of a FAKE NEWS Organization, which they are!"

2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang also had fun at the expense of the liberal news outlet.

"Oh no- technical difficulties. It's the Russians," Yang quipped.

The first set of Democratic debates were being broadcasted on NBC News, MSNBC, and Telemundo. Thursday's debate will feature ten more candidates including former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.

MSNBC hosts Donny Deutsch and Lawrence O'Donnell had a fiery exchange Wednesday night over whether any of the 2020 Democratic candidates onstage during the evening's primary debate can beat President Trump.

Deutsch urged the panel not to "shoot the messenger," but he said he did not believe Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., can defeat Trump in a general election.

"If we're honest with ourselves and we look hard at ourselves, I think a lot of people agree with me," Deutsch told the panel after MSNBC aired the debate in Miami. "I also think when you can label somebody a socialist, 57 percent of this country thinks that word is un-American. I'm not saying it's fair. When he [Trump] can blanket Elizabeth Warren as a socialist and he's onstage with her, the Democrats lose."

When asked by MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace "who could beat Trump," Deutsch responded by saying the "Joe Biden we want" can, but "no one" on the debate stage could.

The comment did not sit well with O'Donnell.

"Let's just identify this for what it is: pure guesswork a year-and-a-half away," O'Donnell said. "And so it has, and Donny I say this respectfully, zero value."

"Don't tell me it has zero value," Deutsch shot back. "It's understanding human behavior. And I guarantee you 90 percent of our audience agrees with me."

"It's a wild guess, there's no science in it, there's nothing in it," O'Donnell continued. "You can put any name you want in the wild guess you just made and it doesn't make it true."

"I'm understanding Donald Trump -- the way he's connecting with this country and the strength he exudes," Deutsch doubled down. "We need to exude a stronger strength. It's not a policy discussion."

Post debate expert Eric Soufer worked on presidential campaigns for John Edwards and Barack Obama and was a top adviser to former state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie. Now a top political operative at Tusk Strategies, he rated the 10 Democrats who took part in the first 2020 debate Wednesday night.

“Warren had the highest expectations going in and she exceeded them every step of the way,” Soufer said. “She connected empathy with policy with execution, and that’s extraordinarily difficult to do.” “De Blasio exceeded exceedingly low expectations,” he added. “He clearly expressed his progressive values and vision, and — as a candidate people didn’t know or didn’t like very much — I think you’re going to start to see that change.”

Mayor De Blasio:
Strong performance, but still lacks the big idea needed to break out in a big field — like his prekindergarten initiative in 2013. I was amazed by how little he tried to leverage his executive experience.

Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan:
It’s time for him to gracefully exit the stage. He can’t accept that he already lost the fight over the direction of the party.

Former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro:
A good, standout performance as the young, energetic candidate in a primary where age will be an issue.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker:
Death by a thousand platitudes. His riff about living in Newark has gone stale.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
Strong, erudite and the only one who could effectively explain why the economy isn’t working for everyone. She’s clearly leading this pack.

Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke:
Surprisingly cautious and clearly uncomfortable. He failed to connect with the audience and took more arrows from his opponents than anyone else. It was painful to watch.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar:
Showed that she’d be a formidable, moderate nominee, but she is still struggling to lay out a compelling rationale for her candidacy.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard:
Missed opportunity to stand out as the foreign-policy candidate despite her military credentials. She could not muster specifics on any foreign-policy question.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee:
Really strong and effective emphasis on organized labor, renewable energy and jobs. He was the only one to lean into his executive-leadership experience.

Ex-Maryland Rep. John Delaney
Sounds like someone still running for Congress.

What did you expect? They're all fucking idiots.
