"My Social Security payroll contribution will go up, as will Donald's, assuming he can't figure out how to get out of it," Clinton said, referring to a New York Times report that claimed Trump that could have legally gotten out of paying federal income taxes for nearly two decades based on a leaked 1995 return.

"But what we want to do is to replenish the Social Security Trust Fund," she continued, as Trump fired back, "Such a nasty woman."

The response on social media was swift and skewed heavily in Clinton's favor.
