One of the world’s wealthiest businessmen, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, had sharp words for Trump on Friday, telling him via Twitter to withdraw from the presidential race, “as you will never win.”
“You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America,” he wrote. The billionaire prince is chairman of investment firm Kingdom Holding Company.
Trump responded by calling the Prince “dopey” and accusing him of using “Daddy’s money” to control US politicians.
“Can’t do it when I get elected,” Trump tweeted.
The exchange follows Trump’s comments about banning Muslims from the US.
On Friday, Trump’s name was taken off a Dubai gold course and housing development. Meanwhile, the company behind the Trump Towers in Istanbul said it is “assessing” its partnership with the Republican presidential front-runner.
