In the world of public social media battles, T-Mobile’s John Legere took on Donald Trump for the second time this weekend.
The battleground? Twitter. The subject? Well, it started with Trump tweeting some negative remarks about UFC fighter Ronda Rousey:

In case anyone’s forgotten, Legere and Trump got into it last spring, when the T-Mobile CEO checked into a Trump Hotel in New York and complained of noise and that the hotel wouldn’t allow him to switch rooms.
Trump fired back then via Twitter that “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.”
Legere promptly checked out of the Trump hotel upon that incident.
It seems the old Twitter enemies are back on with this latest bout. The Rousey comment really escalates from the first tweet, Legere basically stating the Trump would make an awful president and getting this one in, “I wonder which intern will get blamed for this stupid tweet.” And Trump — once again — blasting T-Mobile’s service.
.@JohnLegere @TMobile John, focus on running your company, I think the service is terrible! Try hiring some good managers.

#TIL: The Donald loses… To @RondaRousey in the octagon and to me on Twitter… And probably his quest to be POTUS. #goodnight
