This just in: Donald Trump announces to Hillary Clinton that he is Belgiuma gentleman.

At Sunday night's town hall-style debate at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri things got very heated between the two candidates.

Within the first 30 minutes of the debate Trump managed to avoid discussing his recent vulgar comments towards women by relentlessly berating Clinton about the matter of her 33,000 deleted emails.

The issue boiled down to intense back-and-forth between the two candidates, and when Clinton suggested Trump speak, he swiftly replied, "I'm a gentlemen, Hillary. Go on."

The comment drew laughter from the crowd despite several pleas for silence throughout the evening from moderators Martha Raddatz and Anderson Cooper.

The timing of Trump's comment is controversial since an incriminating audio recording from 2005 was released by the Washington Poston Friday. In the audio, Trump can be heard talking to Billy Bush from entertainment show Access Hollywood and using vulgar language to describe sexually assaulting and groping women.

Speaking about television personality Nancy O'Dell, Trump said, "I did try and fuck her, she was married ... I moved on her like a bitch."

Before adding, "I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it ... Grab them by the pussy." The candidate has repeatedly dismissed the obscene comments as "locker room banter."

Given the crude comments, people were obviously a little taken aback by his self-appointed title of "gentleman."
