Donald Trump and Mark Cuban are in a Twitter war for the umpteenth time. The last time they fought, the Mavs owner dared the quasi-real estate mogul to shave his head in exchange for $1 million, and later asked him to donate to Sandy relief. The jab was in response to Trump’s “surprise” announcement in which the personality-less personality challenged President Obama to show his college transcripts in exchange for a $5 million donation.
Now, the Donald is at it again. On Sunday, Cuban’s team, the Dallas Mavericks, lost against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Trump tweeted:
Why does @mcuban continue to embarrass the 31-35 & 11TH place @dallasmavs with childish behavior? Really unprofessional!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
.@dallasmavs is 1-12 against the Western Conference’s top four seeds after Sunday’s loss & @okcthunder swept the season series.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
Trump then asserted that he is “much better looking” and “far richer” than Cuban, who plays golf with “the power of a little girl,” “is physically weak,” “pathetic,” and a “weak man with a big mouth.”
Donald Trump’s tweets:
"@MagicJeff: @realDonaldTrump @dallasmavs @okcthunder how many rings do you have? #donthateontheCubes" Nine billion!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
"@benjamin_abey: @realDonaldTrump @mcuban @dallasmavs So? what the fuck is your problem ? The people love him. Nobody loves him!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
"@n_vranas: @realDonaldTrump @dallasmavs @okcthunder ur a pussy trump @mcuban is way richer than you" Not even close, dummy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
"@ThisNBAgirl: @realDonaldTrump You are not as smart as Mark Cuban, no matter what you think. Keep to what you know. Lets do an I.Q. test!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
"@kmac5911: who would win on the golf course @realDonaldTrump or @mcuban" Did you ever see Mark swing a club - the power of a little girl!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2013
Golf match? I've won 18 Club Championships including this weekend. @mcuban swings like a little girl with no power or talent. Mark's a loser
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
"@Greenolive_r: @mcuban is trumping the trumpster himself @realDonaldTrump" Where do you live, moron.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
.@mcuban is so short off the tee he can't have much of a punch. He's just a weak man with a big mouth!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
But @mcuban is physically weak, he has no clubhead speed or game!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
Sorry folks, but Donald Trump is far richer and much better looking than dopey @mcuban!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
Does anyone remember the fight @mcuban had w/ the referee—he was weak & pathetic—a non-athlete trying to live life thru his players.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 19, 2013
Not all of those claims can be verified (after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder), but according to Forbes, Trump is right that he’s richer than Cuban by almost a billion dollars, at $3.2 billion.
But Cuban, who has called Trump a “first-class idiot,” didn’t fire back with any equivalent claims. Instead, he asked “do u really want to keep doing this? I don’t care what you think & you are so easy to pick on…” and then proceeded to have some fun:
. @realDonaldTrump let's settle this like gentleman.I challenge u to a Harlem Shake duel.@SharkTank cast vs Apprentice cast.For charity
— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) March 19, 2013
. @realDonaldTrump on that Harlem Shake offer, we can all bring our birth certificates if that helps...
