Good Lord. A trans-Atlantic battle of the egos is producing some unpleasant mental images today, as Donald Trump lobs insults at his British equivalent, Alan Sugar, star of the U.K. version of “The Apprentice.”
What is it exactly that has Trump and Sugar tilting at each other? Windmills.
You’re all wrong—check the facts! UK is massively subsidizing Scotland’s wind turbines & the people don’t want them.

@realDonaldTrump RT Scottish don't want wind turbines……..I think you have that wrong . The Scottish don't want you !

.@Lord_Sugar If you think ugly windmills are good for Scotland you are an even worse businessman than I thought…

… and, in my opinion, should not be doing The Apprentice.

Trump is displeased with his Mini-Me. Bow down before Trump, Sugar!
Sugar: @Lord_Sugar—unlike you, I own The Apprentice. You were never successful enough…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
…You have little persona, but The Apprentice concept is great and lucky for you!

Sugar: @Lord_Sugar–Keep working hard so I make plenty of $ with your show…

Trump delivers the finishing blow.
… and many others. Drop to your knees, Sugar, and say thank you, Mr. Trump.

Wow. What could make this Twitter spat more pathetic and uncomfortable? Enter Wormtongue.
Don't wish to interfere obviously @realDonaldTrump – but it may be time to fire @Lord_Sugar from YOUR show for his impertinence?

Update:
Lord Sugar is still at it:
@realDonaldTrump RT:A general is good as his troops…..You must have bad troops. If Wikipedia is right you have failed so many times
