Billionaire Saudi prince: Trump should end campaign
The Hill ^ | 12/11

Posted on 12/12/2015 9:09:10 AM PST by Lera

A Saudi royal is calling for Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to end his campaign.

“@RealDonaldTrump, you are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America,” Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal tweeted Friday. "Withdraw from the U.S. presidential race as you will never win.”

Bin Talal’s request follows Trump’s controversial call for a ban on admitting Muslims into the U.S. Trump has repeatedly defended the measure as necessary to prevent radical Islamic terrorism on American soil.

Forbes reported last June that Bin Talal is Saudi Arabia’s wealthiest billionaire, boasting a $24 billion personal fortune. He ranks No. 34 out of the world’s 100 richest individuals overall.

The self-made investor is primarily known for his role as the CEO of Kingdom Holding Company, Forbes said, adding that Bin Talal also has extensive stock holdings in Twitter, Citigroup and Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts.

Bin Talal’s criticism of Trump is not the first time the prince has entered American political life. He also drew the ire of then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York.

Anyone wondering why this Saudi believes he has a right to inject himself into our election should pay attention to how many "gifts" these jerks give our politicians.

I just donated to the Ted Cruz campaign. I did so because our nation is at a cross road. Socialism, racism, Islam, and financial disaster are at our doorstep. In the last 8 years or national debt has doubled, employment and GDP are stale. I believe this generation will determine whether we go the route of Venezuela, Europe, or our Patriots, who fought and died for our freedoms again tyranny. My prayer is that you will look at our candidates carefully, vote, even in the primaries, as though your children’s and your grandchildren’s future depend upon it, because they do.

I support Ted Cruz, because he stands with our founding fathers and their dream. He is the real conservative candidate and his track record proves this. while I’m not asking you to donate to Ted Cruz, please consider supporting Ted. He is the Ronald Reagan of our generation.

Listen here Prince Pizza Hut. When Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out. Go count daddy’s money and mind your own business. We adults can handle this.

People still think our politicians don’t have to serve these people. The kind of money these people have is tremendous.

Some people find it impressive and powerful It’s just money.

And we need to get off of the addiction to mid east oil

Jeb is out.

Trump is forcing the globalists’ hands. They did pretty well with the R vs D paradigm for about 20 years, then they had to go to the “vote for a R, get a Progressive” plan for a decade and a half.

But, now the People are waking up and the globalists see the need to play out their endgame now. Feudalism or Freedom: the battle is coming.

The Saudis have been saying that the United States will be a muslim nation in 15 years

Isn’t this the mope who offered $10 million to Mayor Giuliani after 9/11?

Rudy appropriately told him to shove it and this is exactly what Trump should do.

Trump already did. Here is Trump's tweet:

Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy's money. Can't do it when I get elected. #Trump2016

The opinions of an inbred oil tick do not interest me. Maybe W can hold hands with him for some comfort.

How many refugees is the prince letting in his country? How many bibles are allowed into their country?
