Donald Trump is a disgrace and should pull out of the United States presidential race, Saudi Arabian billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal tweeted late on Friday.

"@realDonaldTrump You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America," Alwaleed said on his official Twitter account, @Alwaleed_Talal. "Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win."

Alwaleed is an unusually outspoken member of the Saudi royal family, who chairs Kingdom Holding Co. The diversified firm's interests include US-banking giant Citigroup.

A statement early Saturday from Alwaleed's office said his tweet was in response to Trump's "anti-Islam statement".

2. That "disgrace to the GOP" is by far their most popular man right now

He's probably not going to be acting on the urgings of a Saudi Prince.

Because so many Americans love Saudi billionaires . . .

Trump can say the Muslims don't want him because he will put a stop to terrorism - or some such thing.

13. Pot, meet Kettle.

What's the process for a Presbyterian to gain citizenship to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.

Very welcoming of you, prince.

14. What does Alwaleed offer as reason the Kingdom refuses all refugees? Or the Kingdom's total

oppression of all other faith groups? How is the Kingdom not just like Trump only much worse? What does Alwaleed say about the flogging of writers and artists, critics of his precious family or their religious beliefs? What does he say about the punishment and execution of LGBT people by his family, all of these groups and persons are directly harmed by his own family. What does Alwaleed say about that?

America will reject Trump, but Saudi Arabia will just continue on doing the vile crap it does without ever turning a critical eye upon itself. Alwaleed seems to be endorsing supremacist views, for he says his family is allowed to oppress, to kill and to libel while others must never even look crossly at his own kind. His family murders my people for existing. This is the fact.
