…if Donald Trump hates them, they can’t be all bad!
How can George Osborne reduce UK debt while spending billions to subsidize Scotland’s garbage wind turbines that are destroying the country?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
You’re all wrong—check the facts! UK is massively subsidizing Scotland’s wind turbines & the people don’t want them.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
And by “the people”, Donald Trump means himself.
@realdonaldtrump RT Scottish don’t want wind turbines……..I think you have that wrong . The Scottish don’t want you !

.@lord_sugarIf you think ugly windmills are good for Scotland you are an even worse businessman than I thought…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
@realdonaldtrump Donald, you don’t care about Scotland. You care about your golf course. Do you think we are idiots?
— Alan Holliday (@Tigers2iron) December 6, 2012
@realdonaldtrump the ugly windmills will bring more revenue and green power to Scotland than your golf project

@realdonaldtrump RT: in my opinion you should not be doing the apprentice……..well you have NO SAY in that. The British like me not you
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) December 6, 2012
Sugar: @lord_sugar—unlike you, I own The Apprentice. You were never successful enough…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
…. to do The Apprentice but I approved you anyway. Without my show you’d be nothing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
@realdonaldtrump you approved me! What a load of rubbish dream on You don’t own apprentice Mark Burnett does. Shut up and argue with Obama
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) December 6, 2012
This is actually true. Mark Burnett talking about the process of editing The Apprentice: he is the creator and executive producer, Donald Trump is just the star performer, with – evidently – star attitude that it’s somehow “his” show.
Sugar: @lord_sugar–Keep working hard so I make plenty of $ with your show…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
…You have little persona, but The Apprentice concept is great and lucky for you!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
@realdonaldtrump RT: you have little persona …….in England we say the pot calling the kettle black . You have hada charisma bypass
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) December 6, 2012
When I made the Apprentice the #1 show in the US, that was a good day for you…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
… and many others. Drop to your knees, Sugar, and say thank you, Mr. Trump.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
Ooh. Does Donald Trump fancy Alan Sugar, then?
Dopey @lord_sugar—Look in the mirror and thank the real Lord that Donald Trump exists. You are nothing!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
Aw… rejected!
Lord Sugar vs Donald Trump on Twitter is like a 50ft high Mr Burns and a 50ft high Del Boy fighting in the middle of Tokyo#rivetted

@realdonaldtrump you only have 1.9 m followers not good for your ego how comes I have 2.5m and you have 6 times more populationthan UK
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) December 6, 2012
@realdonaldtrump did I miss your reply if you have bank debt on your real estate . Do any American followers know about Trumps financials ?
— Lord Sugar (@Lord_Sugar) December 6, 2012
Oh wait:
Don’t wish to interfere obviously @realdonaldtrump – but it may be time to fire @lord_sugar from YOUR show for his impertinence?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 6, 2012
@piersmorgan @realdonaldtrump the only one who drops to his knees is Morgan he kisses ar… I trained him how to win your celeb show

…And Donald’s still drinking it:
Sugar @lord_sugar—you should say thank you, Donald, like a good little boy… …
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
…instead of biting the hand that feeds you! Don’t bother, just keep making me money!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2012
We just don’t like you, Donald.
(I didn’t include all the tweets from Ego Trump, Ego Sugar, and Mini-Me Morgan. Alex Hern did though: Donald Trump v Alan Sugar: whoever wins, we lose storify.)
I have somehow managed to miss all of this utterly classic Twitter bitchfight. Thank you. @caitlinmoran has it right.
After the Glenfiddich spat I linked to a list of Wm Grants brands you should probably support if Trump doesn’t like them, which may be of interest.
Oh, yes. “You’d be nothing without The Apprentice”, says The Donald? I owned an Amstrad CPC twenty years before reality television existed. Sugar might have his flaws, but once upon a time he was a damn good businessman; Trump has only ever been scum.
*nods* Watched half of one episode of “The Apprentice” once, concluded I couldn’t stand Alan Sugar, but by comparison with Donald Trump … well, low bar but even Siralan looks good next to the Donald.
It’s one of those Twitter moments you can’t believe happened til it does. Still slightly regretting I didn’t grab the Donald’s calls for a revolution after Obama won.
Oh, they’ll be around somewhere. I think there may have been a Tumblr dedicated to it somewhere!
Does Donald think that Success is measured by fame? Also doesn’t he think that if someone is making him money he should be keeping him sweet?
Well, Donald Trump just lied about The Apprentice. It’s not “his show”: it’s NBC’s/Mark Burnett’s. He’s the star performer: I just added a link to a video where it’s clear that though Trump is the star, he has no editorial control. I have no idea if the British edition of The Apprentice is actually “making Trump money”: but I see no reason to believe him,
Ah, didn’t know he did the US apprentice. I’d only vaugely heard of him!

Never thought I’d be forced to look upon Alan Sugar this favourably! But, then, I think if Kim Jong Un was having a bitch-fest with Trump I’d have a sudden surge of love towards North Korea…
My tweet about this got retweeted by Graham Lineham.
https://bitly.com/UqkPjG+ now has 4000-odd clicks.
I hope this gets you some well-deserved readers!
I saw! And then got picked up by Lauren Laverne! Thank you – my post currently has 9,759 views, so, um… I probably owe you cake!
I can’t eat cake (having a body that doesn’t like gluten _or_ sugar is No Fun), but the thought is appreciated. Glad I can point people in your direction occasionally – you have an excellent blog.
This isn’t real.
No and … well it’s not really very funny either.
Reblogged this on ArtMinx and commented:
You couldn’t make this up!!
Thanks Edinburgh Eye for posting this (as I couldn’t see Sugar’s tweets at all)
