Rashida Jones was displeased with Donald Trump’s ‘condescending interjections’ of Hillary Clinton during the debate.

Donald Trump pulled a Kanye West during the first presidential debate by constantly interrupting Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.

Outraged celebrities watching Monday night desperately wished the bombastic billionaire would just let Clinton finish answering questions posed by moderator Lester Holt.

"His condescending interjections and interruptions and mansplaining are hitting the deepest part of my womanly frustration," actress Rashida Jones tweeted.

Celebrities were displeased with Donald Trump's outbursts during Monday night's debate.

Fellow star Constance Zimmer sarcastically noted that 20 minutes was as long as Trump could go without yelling, Debra Messing said the GOP candidate was "losing it" and Eva Longoria pleaded for Holt to stop Trump's disruptions.

Others found the 70-year-old real estate mogul's demeanor excruciatingly obnoxious.

"Wow Trump has decided to yell over Hillary like a drunk uncle everyone hated at a holiday dinner," Comedian Chelsea Peretti tweeted.

While many A-listers were angered by Trump's outbursts, most were just lamenting the future of the United States after the messy debate, which at times felt like watching a reality spectacle.

"It's like the Super Bowl but for the apocalypse. #debates," actor Zach Braff wrote.

Actor Patton Oswalt shared several tweets about the debate, many which featured her daughter tuning in.

"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane tweeted about some of the billionaire's incomprehensible remarks.

"I've never in my lifetime seen babbling incoherence on a Presidential debate stage like Trump is displaying tonight," MacFarlane wrote. "I'm in a nightmare."

Young hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper, a native of Chicago, addressed Trump's comments about law and order after the candidate referenced the high rate of crime and violence in the Windy City.

"Dear God, the words law & order shouldn't strike so much fear in my heart as a law abiding citizen but I am so damn scared of Donald Trump," the 23-year-old wrote.

"Law & Order was once a tv show. Now it's a threat from a tyrant," he continued.

Chance wasn't the only celeb to refer to Trump's "we have to bring back law and order" comment.

David Slack, a writer for the long running TV series, noted that the GOP nominee's actual role in the series would be much darker.

"I wrote Law & Order," Slack tweeted. "The only role Donald Trump could have in Law & Order is as a rich bastard suspected of killing his wife."

Here's a look at what the rest of Hollywood had to say about the first presidential debate of the 2016 election:
