Think Lord Sugar safely won it.

I love Lord Sugar's Twitter arguments! In this case, I agree with him. Trump does not own The Apprentice, Mark Burnett does. It's not Trump's format. (Plus, I support wind turbines, but that's irrelevant.)

"Without MY show, you'd be nothing"?
Really!?
I'm not a huge fan of Shoogs himself, but I do love the (UK) show. Irrespective of this, I do think that his previous achievements before "Apprentice" would have ensured his stature, and probably still result in his honours.

As oppose to Trump, who is easily one of the most hateful people in the US, and only picks a fight when it goes against his business plans or leisure activities.

Wretched Individual!!

No wonder Piers Morgan has that permanently screwed up look on his face, it must be the smell of s**t from Trump's backside.

I don't like Sugar or Trump but wind turbines are an ugly, noisy blot on the landscape and the jury is out on their cost effectiveness .

Suges managed to win without bringing up Trump's bankrupcies, his show being a homage to nepotism, and US apprentice being a prolonged advertising space for groups like Kodak, his latest hotel/ golf course/ Trump branded water and his daughters latest range of clothes.

Well played Lord Alan, well played.

If people think some of Sugar's decisions are random, just watch any series of Trump's Apprentice. I watched teh first four or five seasons of the American version, and his decisions were simply baffling week after week.

Perhaps if Mr Alan Sugar had achieved something more than a few mediocre grades at O level before leaving school to become a mere Barrow Boy, and had made the grade for additional O levels, A levels, and then completed College and University, he may be sufficiently qualified to become an Apprentice to any of his Peers on The Apprentice.

Until such time, however, I don't think that Donald Trump need worry about such an intellectual pygmy of the calibre of the unqualified Mr Alan Sugar.

I was following it all last night. Trump is like a big wean and as much as I love watching him have a melt down, all I'm doing is adding to the attention that he craves. I think when I first found his Twitter account I thought it was a parody or a fake

I think Lord Sugar has done well for himself, and is an icon for people who haven't been well educated.

I love the photo of them at the top of this page! Sugar looks so dignified compared to Trump.

His meltdown after Obama won was a thing of beauty.

Why the sniffy tone? Academia is not for everyone and there's no reason why it should be. There is no reason to respect someone more because they have A Levels or a degree. People who don't go to uni are not 'intellectual pygmies', what a prejudiced thing to say.
Sugar went straight into work and later business after leaving school and clearly he had enough qualifications to succeed in business, being now worth almost a billion £.

To suggest that Trump is also some kind of intellectual giant is also laughable, unlike Sugar he inherited his wealth and essentially went into the family business. He also spends a great deal of time making a fool out of himself with his dog whistle theories regarding Obama's origins.

Though I would generally prefer Lord Sugar was a little quieter on Twitter... it is incredibly rich for Donald Trump to try and speak on behalf of Scotland after he infuriated half the country with his golf course, and just as ridiculous to try and waggle his Apprentice-dick at Lord Sugar, given that the Apprentice only ever rates in the US when they throw celebrities at it.

Wish he'd tidy up his grammar, but... yeah, fair play, Sugar.

So Donald Trump points his finger at Lord Sugar

He says "you're fired"

How would Lord Sugar respond?

This would be good

Trump can't fire Sugar, Sugar doesn't work for Trump. Despite Trump's claims, he does not own The Apprentice, it's Mark Burnett's concept.

Nice bit of intellectual and occupational snobbery there.

I think more Scots want wind turbines more than trumps golf coarse.

Modern direct drive wind turbines have a rather decent power output of 6MW+ and we have a fantastic wind resource here so it makes sense to make use of it.

The winner for me is this

Sugar: "you only have 1.9 m followers not good for your ego how comes I have 2.5m and you have 6 times more population than UK."
