Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said on Twitter that hes bailed the billionaire out twice and suggested the GOP presidential frontrunner might need his help a third time.

The princes tweet included news stories showing that he bought Trumps 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 Citys Plaza Hotel from Trump in 1995. As part of the deal, bin Talal paid off Trumps debt on the hotel in what the New York Times said was a defeat for the real estate developer.

The Republican Draft & Tax Dodger is such a role model for the KGOP & their rug rats. He's deep in debt not just to the Russian mob, but also to the Saudi oil cabal.

Trump must be ready to explode right now. Edit to add: (Oops, that was a year ago, so I guess he's probably moved on by now)
