Twitter exploded last night as CEO of T-Mobile, John Legere, went head-to-head with business magnate Donald Trump in a war of words.
Legere began tweeting about musicians keeping him awake during his stay at a Trump Hotel in New York, prompting the entrepreneur to swipe back at T-Mobile.
.@JohnLegere T-Mobile service is terrible! Why can't you do something to improve it for your customers. I don't want it in my buildings.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 12, 2015
The T-Mobile boss replied saying that the musicians had been removed, rather than being offered a new room himself.

Not one to back down from a fight, Trump indirectly responded with another quip about T-Mobile’s services.
.@TMobile gives terrible service and has many complaints, just check.

Many Twitter users egged the two on with several backing Legere. One person tweeted: “Global corporatism sucks, your greed sucks, you suck.”
Twitter user @TrumpDefender dubbed the T-Mobile topcat as “sad”, accusing him of obsessively tweeting about Trump, to which Legere responded:
This is the saddest archaic Twitter tactic and a secondary handle not even cleverly disguised ..actually quite sad https://t.co/IfBkanxnDC

Needless to say, Legere did not remain in the Trump Hotel and moved to another hotel.
It all seems rather petty to us.
