The billionaire helped Mr Trump plug debts back in 1991 by purchasing
his yacht, ‘Trump Princess’ for £196 million. Four years later, he
bought a majority stake in the Plaza Hotel as Trump was sinking into
bankruptcy. During a brief interview on his plane in Des Moines, Iowa, on
Thursday, Mr Trump told reporters that Prince waleed was the one who
needed financial bailouts and said he had never liked the royal. Seconds
later, he admitted that the two had never met.
Republican
candidates have traditionally needed the backing of Fox News to win the
party’s nomination for the presidency. Mr Trump, by contrast, is seeking
victory without it, and experts say he is making calculated attacks on
the media empire in an attempt to burnish his credentials as the GOP’s
anti-establishment candidate.
Anti-Muslim sentiment has also
been a repeated theme of Mr Trump’s campaign. In December, he called on
Muslims to be banned from the United States after 14 people were killed
in an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant-inspired terrorist attack in
California.
