Saudi Prince Epically Burns Donald Trump: Remember Those Two Times I Bailed You Out Financially?

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2016/01/28/saudi-prince-epically-burns-donald-trump-remember-those-two-times-i-bailed-you-out-financially/

But Trump apparently never learned to not bite the hand that feeds him, because his tweet came back to bite him on the ass on Thursday prior to his rogue event running at the same time as the GOP Debate he declined to attend.

In an epic response to Trump’s tweet, Prince Alwaleed fired back with a revealing tweet of his own reminding Trump of those two times back in the 1990s when Trump needed a financial bailout and Alwaleed came to his rescue.

According to Buzzfeed, when Trump was $900 million in debt in 1991, it was Prince Alwaleed who purchased The Donald’s Trump Princess yacht for $40 million.

In 1995, Alwaleed would save Trump’s ass again by purchasing New York City’s Plaza Hotel from him for a whopping $325 million.

But if I was having financial problems and needed money and decided to sell my car. My neighbor buys it. Does that mean my neighbor bailed me out?




I still think this is ok since it makes trump look bad which if it keeps trump out of the White House, I'm cool with it.
