Saudi Billionaire Prince Demands Donald Trump Exit 2016 Race

[Balthazar]

Foreign donations should be strictly prohibited. That's how it works in any civilized country.

[Wilikon]

Due to a small technical issue, like not being a citizen of USA, I can't vote for or against Trump or whoever runs for whatever position there...
This said, it's not my business. But if you're experiencing the same technical issue as me, keep posting your opinion, maybe someone who is will give a rat's ass about it... or not.  

These small technical issues DID NOT PREVENT overseas donations of > 90M to Obama's 2008 campaign, which were undocumented and never investigated.

Not just oversea. Anything. Any names.

I doesn't work. The Saudis and the other Arabs own more than half of the American corporations. So they could easily circumvent any such rule, by donating funds using their corporate offices. Anyway, Hillary won't be able to survive without generous donations from Arabs and the Turks. She will never allow a total ban on foreign donations.

Which corporations do the Saudis have a share in?

Which corporations do the Saudis have a share in?

A few examples:

1. Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud was one of the owners of News Corporation (now split in to 21st Century Fox and News Corp).
2. Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud is one of the owners of Twitter.
3. Fairmont Hotels and Resorts is co-owned by the Kingdom Holding Company.

There are many more examples, but in most of the cases, the holdings are anonymous or hidden.

That is right. Internal donations should also be restricted so the candidates cannot buy influence. There should be a limit of TV time.

guys in general I hate Saudi Arabia , they are feeding the war in my country by the name of democracy while they don't have democracy
but honestly Alwaleed bin Talal is a great person unlike other princes , he is really in the good side and he is well known in helping others
in general if all the princes were like Alwaleed bin Talal you wouldn't see SA the way it's now

I also wonder why this Alwaleed bin Talal is interfering in other countries election. Its their own matter. What they are gaining or losing. Its their issues. If he gets some problems then its all right. At present saudia Arabia is investing a lot of money there. So might be they wants a kind of power control in their friends hand.

I do not know why people do not get that. It is so obvious. Unlike Putin saying something like "Hey! Trump seems pretty smart BUT it is the American voters who should decide", this $27B prince is saying "Do not vote for Trump!"

... Or what? Is he gonna force us to eat camel meat or something?

Muslims are prejudiced against non Muslim people; they are not respecting culture different than their own; silently supporting injustice and violence against other religions.
And now they are surprised that Trump is trying to do something similar with them? For me tt is one more reason to vote for Trump if he is hated by that Saudi Arabian Price.

[BADecker]

Let's provoke the oil Arabs so that they cut off our oil. After all, if we do this, they won't be getting any more of our money, and we will become stronger by finding alternatives... which we will do, of course.

[helloeverybody]

"demands" .  Why should he have any say in American affairs.  What a joke.

Perhaps he and other Muslims should open their mouths against their co-religionists and condemn the terror which they bring to countries all around the world. I am sure if they were peaceful Mr. Trump wouldn't have suggested banning them in our country. But Islam is not noted for being very peaceful.

Exactly. He can demand whatever he wants, doesn't mean it will be taken into any consideration.

But supposedly he is powerful enough, he can influence quite a few parties to get Trump to exit.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Is it correct that you're not ready for losses on the way to achieve some significant goal? Are you really such a coward?
