Real estate mogul Donald Trump fired off a number of his signature, bombastic zingers during Thursday’s primetime Republican presidential debate despite taking something of a drubbing from the debate’s moderators.

The billionaire appeared unfazed as Fox News hosts Bret Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly hammered him on his inability to commit to endorsing the eventual Republican nominee, his various business empire’s record of bankruptcy filings, and his unsavory comments about women. Instead, Trump deflected criticism from the moderators and his presidential rivals with taunts that could have worked just as well on a school playground as on the debate stage. Here are some of his more outrageous comments from the two-hour debate-a-palooza.

On Megyn Kelly

On Hillary Clinton

On Rand Paul

On President Barack Obama

On America’s political class

On a potential third-party run

On his record of making sexist comments
