So back in December, a Saudi prince tweeted this at Donald Trump:
.@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.
— الوليد بن طلال (@Alwaleed_Talal) December 11, 2015
This Saudi prince is Alwaleed bin Talal, who according to Wikipedia, is 95 percent owner and CEO of Kingdom Holding Company and was one of Time’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2008. In other words, Talal is powerful and loaded.
At the time, Trump responded like so:
Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy’s money. Can’t do it when I get elected. #Trump2016
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2015
Is Trump promising that America’s cozy relationship with Saudi Arabia will change then? Nice. Anyway, when he flounced out of last night’s debate because of Megyn Kelly, Trump retweeted this laughably bad photoshop of Kelly with Talal and someone who is apparently his sister.

According to Mediaite, Talal owns a one percent stake in News Corp, which owns…Fox News! Coincidence or conspiracy? I guess we’ll have to Google it to find out (along with the correct spelling of “Mygan Kelly”).
Unbowed, the Saudi prince has now brought up that time that he bought a hotel and yacht from Trump, thus “bailing him out.”
Trump:You base your statements on photoshopped pics?I bailed you out twice;a 3rd time,maybe?https://t.co/Raco0mvusp https://t.co/jStBl7Ghia

Ooh, what else are you going to buy from Trump? Are you going to pay him to stop running? Are you going to use your one percent pull at News Corp to tell Megyn Kelly to stop hurting our maybe future president’s feelings?
I don’t know what we can learn from this. All I know is that I prefer the Amber Rose/Kanye West beef.
