After Donald Trump took aim at independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin, by referring to him as "McMuffin," McMullin decided he would jump into the Twitterverse with the Donald.

“Our charming President-elect @realDonaldTrump has a new nickname for me: ‘McMuffin.’ I like it. Am I now on the hook to reciprocate?”

“I hear Egg McMuffins taste a lot better than the steaks at the Trump Grill. True Story?”

From The Hill:

McMullin has been an outspoken critic of Trump since the election, while the president-elect has frequently called him “some guy” who was trying to beat him in Utah.
On Friday night, however, Trump called him "McMuffin" after an audience member shouted it at the rally.

"That’s correct, that’s his name, he said Evan McMuffin, do you believe this?” Trump said. “I never heard of this guy before. Nobody did. And the polls said he’s even with Donald Trump. My wife said, she looked at the television and she said he’s not even with you. Believe me, he’s not even.”
