audi prince has slammed Donald Trump after
being dragged into the Republican presidential
front-runner’s battle with Fox News, saying he
“bailed out” the businessman twice in the past.
The war of words erupted on Twitter on Thursday
after Trump posted a photoshopped image that
showed Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal bin Abdulaziz
with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly describing Al-
Waleed as a “co-owner of Fox News”.
Al-Waleed hit back soon after on Twitter, saying
in a tweet that he had bailed out the billionaire
invested twice.
The prince, who is chairman of the board of
Kingdom Holding Company, an investment
holding company, included a link to a news report
about him buying Trump’s yacht Trump Princess
in 1991 after the billionaire was in debt for $900
million.
The news report also said Al-Waleed took a
controlling stake in Trump’s Plaza Hotel in New
York in 1995, when Trump was unable to make
loan payments.
This is not the first time Trump and Al-Waleed
have faced off on Twitter. After Trump called for
a ban on the entry of all Muslims into the US last
month, Al-Waleed said the Republican front-runner
was a “disgrace” to his party and should withdraw
from the presidential race.
