Donald Trump, the inspiration of internet memes such as Paint with Donald Trump and a 3D printed butt-plug found himself in hot water with T-Mobile US CEO John Legere. It all started after the UFC fight between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm came to a surprising conclusion.
Glad to see that @RondaRousey lost her championship fight last night. Was soundly beaten – not a nice person!

Legere, clearly a Ronda fan, felt the need to stick up for the defeated fighter.
.@realDonaldTrump @RondaRousey Donald I dare you to get in ring with her and say that… In fact I would pay big $ to see it #RhondaRousey — John Legere (@JohnLegere) November 16, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump @RondaRousey I wonder which intern will get blamed for this stupid tweet #trumpinternblame

Trump, never one for turning down a spat on the social network came back with:
.@JohnLegere @TMobile John, focus on running your company, I think the service is terrible! Try hiring some good managers. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 16, 2015
And then Legere went to town.
.@realDonaldTrump trumps last 4 tweet topics 1. Legere/@TMobile 2. Obama/Putin 3. Tom Brady 4. Legere/@TMobile .. President material? — John Legere (@JohnLegere) November 16, 2015
.@MattJohnsonMBA @realDonaldTrump I am an undecided Republican… Well not totally undecided, I know what I don’t want :)

With Trump’s 4.88 and Legere’s 1.81 million Twitter followers, it was probably one of the most public flame wars we’ve seen in quite a while.
“@StreetR77: @JohnLegere @TMobile didn’t know he was CEO of tmobile, I have T-Mobile, it’s pathetic, dropped calls, no service.” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 16, 2015
Trump’s seemingly impenetrable public persona seems to come out relatively unscathed from the encounter, seeing a huge bump in his Twitter reach in the last 24 hours, according to Simply Measured. 
Get a load of this faggot. https://t.co/jXJNsarzkH — J. John Johnson (@JohnJJohnsonMN) November 16, 2015
