WASHINGTON – Following technical difficulties during the first Democratic presidential debate that resulted in an abrupt commercial break, President Donald Trump weighed in to criticize the TV network and the hosts.

"Thank you @MSNBC, real professionals! @chucktodd @maddow," he tweeted with tags for moderators Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow, along with a doctored video of the incident.

The video starts with a clip of the technical difficulties on stage before fading to images of Trump walking on screen and waving at a crowd, set to Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" and looped audio of Todd and Maddow scrambling to fix the technical problems.

The video closes with a logo that, according to Mediaite, belongs to a pro-Trump group called the Lion Guard.

The moderators had been forced to call an unexpected commercial break about an hour into the debate when audio from other microphones in the building was picked up in the auditorium.
