Twitter spat between yacht owners

We all know some yacht owners can be opinionated but its rare we get to see them having an argument with another owner… until now.

The Saudi Prince (Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz) who owns an 85 Meter Motor Yacht has taken to twitter to have a go at another owner… none other than Donald Trump.

The Prince who is a member of the Saudi Royal family took to twitter to make his feelings clear to Mr trump…

“@realDonaldTrump
You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America.
Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you will never win.”

This isn’t the first interaction between the two. During the 1990s it was no secret that Donald Trump racked up debts to the tune of €900 million US. His beloved 85m yacht had to go. And who bought the yacht? You guessed it… Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz. She is now called Kingdom 5KR. Not only does the Prince now own Donalds old favourite yacht (The Trump Princess) but he also bought the controlling stake in trumps Plaza hotel in NYC.

Earier in the year Mr Trump tweeted an Alwaleed parody account “Saudi Arabia should be paying the United States many billions of dollars for our defense of them. Without us, gone!” It was down to Alwaleed’s son to bring the mistake to Mr trumps attention “lol wrong twitter user. Just FYI”.
