Two of the bigger personalities on Twitter got into a slugfest Saturday, with T-Mobile CEO John Legere taking on real estate mogul and occasional politician Donald Trump.
It appeared to begin with Legere complaining about street musicians playing right outside his room at one of Trump’s hotels in New York City.
Trump responded with a tweet criticizing T-Mobile’s service.
“T-Mobile service is terrible!” Trump said. “Why can’t you do something to improve it for your customers. I don’t want it in my buildings.”
And then Legere said he was checking out of Trump’s hotel.
“I will serve all customers in the USA openly but I will obviously leave your hotel right away based on this,” Legere said.

The war of words continued with more pot shots in both directions. And it may not be over yet.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
