Donald Trump and Mark Cuban are clearly not friends. At least anyone with a Twitter account knows that. The self-made billionaires have been actively engaged in a full-on Twitter feud for the past several days in a battle that started back in November when Cuban offered $1 million if Trump would shave his head via Twitter as a response to Trump’s $5 million challenge to President Obama to produce his birth certificate, reports Yahoo! Sports.
The internet battle escalated last Thursday when Cuban read a nasty letter written by Trump back in 2004 on the Tonight Show that mocked the cancellation of his show at the time The Benefactor, which was an obvious spin off of The Apprentice.
“When I initially called you to congratulate you on The Benefactor – little did you or I realize how disastrous and embarrassing it would turn out to be for you. If you ever decide to do another show, please call me and I will be happy to lend a helping hand,” the letter said.
“Can I just say, Donald, how’s that working out for you now?” Cuban told Jay Leno’s audience.
Trump’s response on Twitter ignited the Twitter fued.
I watched Mark Cuban on Jay Leno last night – what a jerk!

Since then, the real estate mogul hasn’t stopped firing off Tweets about Cuban.

Well, let’s hope they stop embarrassing themselves soon, but I wouldn’t protest to a Harlem Shake duel.
