http://www.cnbc.com/2015/12/11/saudi-prince-slams-trump-as-disgrace-to-america.html Yes. he can't possibly win so he should withdraw... Do you morons even read what you write? Seriously,. on top of that this guy likely doesn't even know how American politics works.
Coming from a guy who probably watches stoning videos for a laugh, I'd say this little prince needs to shut up and go polish daddy's gold plated Ferrari .
For some reason I doubt the motivations of the Prince's supposed concern. He's probably worried about the $1 billion + of our tax dollars his country gets.
To be fair, Trump is a disgrace to America but so is America's relationship with Saudi Arabia, one of the most brutal, autocratic and backwards regimes on the planet that only exists due to US patronage. Anyone who ever makes the farcical claim the US gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) about democracy and human rights need only be pointed to Saudi Arabia to dispel that notion.
I doubt they get any money from America, they have plenty of their own. They own a lot of American debt, for example. They do get massive diplomatic, political and military support though, which is the only thing that has kept them in power for so long. They don't need money though, relatively speaking they are much richer than the USA.
Saudi Arabia is blessed with one of the very most backward, oppressive regimes on Earth, complete with approximately 15,000 members of "royalty": http://www.economist.com/blogs/pomegranate/2014/03/saudi-royal-family . And so one of these towel-headed clowns has the gall the call Donald Trump a disgrace? Will the Saudi "prince" like it better when some squishy-ass liberal ("Blood Clot Hillary" comes to mind) looks the other way while Iran rolls out nuclear weapons and removes the whole damned "royal" family from power...?
From a "prince" of a country with roads for muslims and non-muslims, where girls were locked inside a burning school and murdered because they were not modestly dressed, where there is no free speech, press or assembly, a "prince" who supports hamas and other terrorist groups, they really should shut the f--k up. - - - Updated - - - To obama lovers perhaps...

Al-Waleed is the founder, the chief executive officer and 95 percent-owner[6] of the Kingdom Holding Company, a Forbes Global 2000 company with investments in companies within various sectors such as banking and financial services, hotels and hotel management companies, mass media, entertainment, retail, agriculture, petrochemicals, aviation, technology, and real estate.[7] The company has market cap of over $18 billion in 2013.[8] Waleed is also Citigroup's largest individual shareholder, the second-largest voting shareholder in 21st Century Fox, he owns Paris’s Four Seasons Hotel George V and part of Plaza Hotel.[9][10] His business acumen and shrewd entrepreneurial prowess have earned him comparisons to American investor and business magnate Warren Buffett. Due to his prominence as a businessman, he was acknowledged by Time, who labeled the Prince as the "Arabian Warren Buffett".[11] In June 2015 Forbes listed Al-Waleed as the 34th-richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$28 billion.[12] wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Waleed_bin_Talal - - - Updated - - - No girls were locked in a burning building ...

No they do, we give money to almost every country on the planet, inluding Russia and China. I could be wrong on the amount this year, last figure I saw was from 2011 or so.
Yes they do. Looks like I was way off on the planned amount for 2016 but they get it. http://beta.foreignassistance.gov/explore/country/Saudi-Arabia
You should READ your own link. Foreign Assistance in Saudi Arabia Bilateral U.S. foreign assistance to Saudi Arabia is limited to International Military Education and Training (IMET). A minimal U.S. investment through IMET serves to encourage large numbers of Saudi military officers to pursue training in the United States - with Saudi national funding - deepening bilateral security cooperation and improving Saudi interoperability and performance when working with the U.S. military to employ U.S. systems. U.S. assistance also continues relationships that result in purchasing of U.S. manufactured defense articles. These training and exchange programs are designed to build Saudi Arabia's capacity to thwart terrorism, deter regional aggression, protect against proliferation of nuclear material, and protect critical infrastructure and key air and shipping routes. (Source: Congressional Budget Justification FY 2015) The number for PLANNED, OBLIGATED, SPENT is ZERO. http://beta.foreignassistance.gov/explore/country/Saudi-Arabia
Yes I read the link. Do you understand assistance=aid? The number planned for 2016 is $10,000. Why are you being dishonest?
On my screen it says $10,000 planned for 2016. Why are you being dishonest? Your all caps doesn't cover up a lack of substance and dishonesty. So typical.
Scroll down.......... See "Obligated and Spent".... Zero. You consider yourself a conservative, right.. Well, you don't have to be half-baked.
It is planned for 2016, of course it's not spent yet. No I don't consider myself conservative. Sometimes I've been known to get completely baked but what does that have to do with your dishonesty.
It is impossible that he becomes the president, and even if he wins, he can't and will never be able to keep these promises. First of all, think about the economic consequences for America if he cuts ties with Middle East .. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Emirates are the most important allies in the region. Saudi Arabia stops buying US arms, a loss of 80 billion dollars ,UAE does the same , huge loses for US defence industry as nobody could fill the gap , if they withdraw their $ reserves from the US.. 600 billion dollars or so..If Emirates, Qatar airways stop buying Boeing planes ! I mean this is crazy.. Unthinkable, as a schrewd and cunning businessman he should know better.
If he cant possibly win they should want him to be the candidate. I can translate. Mr trump please withdraw otherwise I wont be able to control American politics with daddys money. Without our oil money all we have is sand.
Maybe if the Saudi's didn't fund international terrorism we wouldn't have to pause immigration to more carefully screen for terrorists. Is this Saudi "Prince" another one of those slightly inbred pantiwaiste "raised in the palace" clowns they produce in such abundance?
I'll take your word for it, though think you are mistaking the US as some sort of charitable organisation, it is nothing of the sort, google 'one dollar aid for three dollars trade', the US has operated a mantra for decades that it tries not to give any aid at all it doesn't think it can subsequently triple in trade, leaving the US in profit. If they give Saudi money it will just be added to the massive pile they can't spend anyway, they really don't need any money from anyone. Are you sure it wasn't a billion dollars worth of military equipment? They do that for Israel and more, giving money to the Saudis is like giving ice to eskimoes, they are rolling in money already.
The Saudis don't fund international terrorism and Price Talal is a self made billionaire. You don't know a single Saudi, do you???
