Saudi Arabia – Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has called Donald Trump a disgrace to the United States following his call for a ban on Muslims entering the country, and demanded the Republican front-runner withdraw from the U.S. presidential race.

Trump triggered an international uproar when he made his comments in response to last week’s deadly shootings in California by two Muslims who authorities said were radicalized.
“You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America,” Prince Alwaleed, the chairman of Kingdom Holding 4280.SE , said on his Twitter account, addressing Trump and referring to the Republican Party.
“Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win,” the prince added.
Within hours, Trump’s response came back, also on Twitter.
“Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy’s money,” he said. “Can’t do it when I get elected.”
Trump’s comments have already cost him business in the Middle East, with a major chain of department stores halting sales of his glitzy “Trump Home” line of lamps, mirrors and jewellery boxes.
On Thursday, Dubai real estate firm Damac, which is building a $6 billion golf complex with Trump, stripped the property of his name and image.
Prince Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, has holdings in a number of international companies, including Twitter and Citigroup. In July he said he will donate $32 billion to charity in coming years via Alwaleed Philanthropies.
This guy is the biggest funder of terrorist
Whenever arabs complain and fret about what someone said, as in Mr. Trump, it’s time to listen to that persons message.
Unless you want Billary or some PC Republican version of Obama, Donald Trump, is the next POTUS !!!
go to hell prince alaweed your a discgrace because you and your cohorts support the wahabism that fuels the sharia law and the terrorism rising all over the world.and last time i checked most of the 9/11 terrorist came fro saudia arabia .
Yes. After having a brother Muslim as the american president (as well as a terrorist-sympathizer) for the past 7 years, it’s not easy for th Saudis to get used to the idea that the US might finally elect someone who,will be tough on these terrorists!
Saudi Arabia is not a democratic country and therefore has no fair election system as we do here in the US, so they should STAY OUT OF OUR POLITICAL AFFAIRS, AS WE DO WITH YOU!
Reminds me of the fat pig that called the slim fox a dirty slob. Does his words carry any value?
How many terrorist are rooted and get funding from Saudi arabia??
Look, I agree with all the comments. But don’t you just LOVE that snazzy hat?
