After calling for a boycott of Glenfiddich whisky and attacking the British Prime Minister over wind turbines, he got into a prolonged public feud with Lord Sugar over who really owns The Apprentice franchise. The fight peaked when Trump demanded Sugar "drop to your knees and say thank you, Mr. Trump" — the most unhinged moment of the day. Between bouts of rage, he squeezed in some nostalgic boasting about renovating an ice rink and made gloomy predictions about the fiscal cliff.
