On Friday Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal slammed Donald Trump for proposing a ban on Muslim immigrants in the US until the government could alleviate security concerns.
Prince Alwaleed called Donald Trump a "disgrace" for his popular plan.
@realDonaldTrump You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America. Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win. @Alwaleed_Talal) December 11, 2015
On Sunday Donald Trump responded to the Saudi Prince in epic fashion.
"@Michael2014abc: @Alwaleed_Talal @realDonaldTrump Has your country, Saudi Arabia, taken ANY of the Syrian refugees? If not, why not?" Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 13, 2015
Of course, Trump is right. Saudi Arabia has banned Syrian immigrants from its country due to security concerns.
Over one million migrants will relocate to Europe this year.
But the wealthiest Muslim nations - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Oman and Kuwait have accepted NO SYRIAN REFUGEES!

Oh, don’t be so literal. Did I say in my post he was going to build a wall in every single place along the border? No, I did not. He’ll build it where it needs to be built.
What about oil money? Cruz said he was agin the ethanol subsidies. I am, too. But I am, on PRINCIPLE, come H... or high water. I wonder why he’d take a stance 180° opposite every other career politician; unless he he was paid for it. To confuse matters more, I understand he did a flipflop on a vote in the Senate Friday, switched his vote, and now he’s FOR ethanol.
It hurts me to see that. He was my back-up behind Trump.
The Clintons and Their Royal Saudi Friends: More Dubious Donations to the Family Foundation---Money from Saudi Propagandists / by Joel Gehrkem / NRO / June 2, 2015
In December 2008, as Hillary Clinton prepared for the hearings that would confirm her as the next U.S. secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation disclosed a list of its donors — separated into tiers by amount given — to reassure the public and Congress that the former first lady would avoid any potential conflicts of interest in her new perch atop Foggy Bottom. “I agree that these are matters that have to be handled with the greatest of care and transparency,†Clinton said during her confirmation hearing.
A look at one organization that made a donation in the range of $1 million to $5 million shows how the Clintons gestures toward transparency often revealed little. Meet Friends of Arabia, or FSA, a thinly veiled public-relations organ of the repressive Saudi regime. In a testament to the Clinton Foundation’s confusing, tangled, and secretive finances, Friends of Saudi Arabias former CEO, Michael Saba, denies that the nonprofit ever made the contribution. He suggests, rather, that the group’s founders, which included members of the Saudi royal family, made the donation before filing papers with the IRS.
For three years, the now-defunct FSA functioned as a propaganda tool for the Saudis, a mission that put it at odds not only with some parts of the State Department’s assessment of the regime, but also with Hillary Clinton’s attempts to position herself as a champion for women’s rights across the globe. --SNIP---
The Wall Street Journal reported in February that the foundation had accepted such donations throughout Clinton’s tenure as the nation’s top diplomat; the scandal expanded with the publication of Peter Schweizers book, Clinton Cash, which chronicles a pattern in which governments and private entities with business before the State Department donated heavily to the foundation and then received favorable treatment.

In the case of FSA, Saba warns against overstating its ties to the Saudi royal family, despite the connection to Prince Alwaleed and a 2008 news account suggesting that the group was founded at the behest of King Abdullah. “It was more minor princes that were involved in it,†says Saba, who described himself as a personal friend of the late king earlier this year.
In the judgment of Alyami, of the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia, FSAs apparent donation to the Clinton Foundation shows how the Saudi Arabian regime uses money to gain support in the United States. “Our government and our people are for sale, and the Saudis know how to buy,†he says. FSA has closed its doors, but Saba maintains his Saudi ties. A presentation for a recently formed business venture touts Saba’s unparalleled access to Saudi Arabia and other Middle East and overseas markets.It features a photo of Saba, King Abdullah, and the pilot who was honored by FSA, with a simple caption: access.

Now that one I think is definitely real.
Thanks.
TPA, to name just one.
Well, OK, I'll toss in a second. HB-1.
Oh, hell, let's go for three easy ones.
His inability to rule out amnesty.
Since you are an ‘editor’ perhaps you could have pointed to something that Trump was documented to have done regarding retirement accounts rather than give lefty boogiedie-boo corporate names like Enron. Or perhaps trying to imply that Trump was involved in Solyndra.
Someone got thwacked. The Donald is teaching school today, Listen up
Only TRUMP speaks TRUTH to power. Who else would say this stuff? I mean, DAYUM is right.
Very well played, AGAIN! Keep it coming, TRUMP!
As it turned out , Cruz and the rest of the Gop traitor party were doing there Fat cat donors bidding since it was all about lifting the Iranian sanctions and letting the DC Crony capitalist crowd get a cut of the Iranian billions and markets . Cruz then tried to cover his treachery by criticizing the Corker bill he voted for !
Good catch there. Hope Trump picks up on the Hillary 2016 connection.
The other irony - Saudi Arabia is paying American defense contractor Raytheon to build a massive multi-layer wall all along its border with Yemen to keep terrorists out.
So American companies can build walls to keep everyone out in Saudi Arabia, but not the US.
Yea, that was the worst sellout by Cruz.
He probably will never top that in his entire career.
I couldn’t even bring myself to include it on the list.
Trump sure knows how to hand it back, that’s for sure.
More power to him.
Even if he doesn’t get elected, I sure love hearing about him making fools out of others.
Bingo !!
Has anyone else noticed how they keep trying to win with words what they'd have to fight many a bloody state contest with bloody daggers (figuratively of course) to win?
They pussies. Thanks Colonel Peters!
Correct !!
