Several grown men aired their grievances on social media.
There was panic at Trump Tower Tuesday when a suspicious package forced an evacuation, but once the all-clear was given, a social media war of words broke out between aides of the president-elect and New York City's mayor.

Cameras captured a scene of pandemonium as people rushed to leave the Fifth Avenue building that is home to Donald and Melania Trump.
It turned out to be a false alarm, as the package found at nearby Niketown was just a backpack filled with children's toys.
What followed was a bizarre Twitter war between Trump's people and city hall.

Trump’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, tweeted: “Back to work at Trump Tower after false alarm. Thanks NYPD."

That prompted Mayor Bill de Blasio's press secretary Eric Phillips to fire back: “No problem. We'll send you the bill.”

Trump social media director Dan Scavino then responded to Phillips: “You are an embarrassment to the @nycmayorsoffice & the amazing #nypd.”

Phillips also included a link to a Wall Street Journal article which discussed how much it is costing New York City to help protect Trump’s abode.
That's not very nice, Dan. But about that bill...work on it with us? https://t.co/mrN6vio9tp https://t.co/42znPvj7m2
