What do you do when you have beef with someone and you can't sleep? You post your messy feelingsall over social media. It may be drivel, but it makes you feel better.

The rich and famous aren't immune to the satisfaction that comes with the hate tweet. AndRepublican presidential candidate Donald Trump had something eating him up this morning.

Las Vegas celebrity magician Penn Jillette is in Trump territory -- New York City -- performing onBroadway, and Trump finds it ... well, this is what he tweeted early this morning.

If Trump were president, more important things might be keeping him up at 3 a.m. For now,Jillette's New York invasion is plenty.

In text messages today to the Las Vegas Sun's John Katsilometes, Jillette responded: "I've alwaysliked Trump for having no filter. I'm embarrassed to say I even like this. He's never seen our show,and I think that matters."
