A Saudi prince may have just beaten Donald Trump at a game of Twitter trolling.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said on Twitter that he's bailed the billionaire out twice -- and suggested the GOP presidential frontrunner might need his help a third time.
The exchange was initiated by Trump, who had retweeted a badly Photoshopped image showing the prince with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, calling him a co-owner of the network:
The reply from bin Talal:
The prince's tweet included news stories showing that he bought Trump's yacht in 1991, which had been turned over to creditors when he was $900 million in debt, according to Buzzfeed.
He also included a link to a story showing that he was part of the group that bought New York City's Plaza Hotel from Trump in 1995. As part of the deal, bin Talal paid off Trump's debt on the hotel in what the New York Times said was "a defeat for the real estate developer."
Trump's tweet also claimed bin Talal is "co-owner" of Fox News. While the prince is an investor in News Corp, his stake is worth 1 percent, according to CNN.
Trump and bin Talal also tangled on Twitter last month.
After the candidate's incendiary call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, bin Talal urged him to quit the race:
Trump responded:
Note to our readers: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims -- 1.6 billion members of an entire religion -- from entering the U.S.
