Donald Trump trolled, again: ‘Need a third bailout?’ Saudi Prince Alwaleed asks

Donald Trump clearly has a lot to learn on how to run his Twitter handle. Yet again, the real estate tycoon was trolled by Saudi Prince Alwaleed.

Donald Trump, the real estate tycoon who is hoping to be the 45th President of the United States, got into yet another Twitter battle with Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

This time, the fight erupted after Trump tweeted out an image – a poorly photoshopped one at that – of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly ‘posing’ with Alwaleed with a caption claiming that the Saudi prince is a co-owner of the news channel.

Alwaleed was quick to respond to Trump, reminding him that he had already bailed him out twice and maybe a third time was round the corner.

In February last year, the Kingdom announced that the Saudi prince had reduced his stake in NewsCorp from 6.6 per cent to 1 per cent.

Alwaleed tweeted out a link to news reports detailing the cases in which he came to the rescue of Trump. Be it the Plaza Hotel in New York or a swanky yacht.  Read that here.

The last week has seen an agitated Trump take on Fox News after he decided not to participate in the GOP debate reasoning that he did not get along with the channel’s anchor Kelly. The day of the debate, Trump stepped-up his attack tweeting: “I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!” Read more about that story here.

This, however, isn’t the first time Trump has got into a Twitter fight with the Saudi prince.

Trump’s anti-Muslim comments forced Alwaleed to call out Trump as a ‘disgrace to America’.

In June 2015, Trump tweeted to a parody account of Alwaleed, forcing his son Khaled to troll the real estate baron.

Clearly, Trump has a lot of learning to do when it comes to social media, specially if you plan on running for President.

He had this to say about President Obama in 2014.

He also had relationship advice for Robert Pattinson

Leaving behind the rush of city life isn’t something most people can do easily, but for Divya Bhathela, it was the only way to truly find peace. Once based in Dubai, surrounded by its gleaming skyscrapers and constant motion, she chose to walk away from it all for a quieter, more meaningful existence in the Himalayas. With a one-way ticket to India and a heart set on change, Divya arrived in Rishikesh, the spiritual capital by the Ganga, to begin her new life as a meditation coach. In a short Instagram video, Divya documented her journey, from boarding her flight to Dehradun to settling into a simple ashram room that she now calls home for the next 30 days. The space, bare yet serene, symbolises her commitment to “living, learning, and unlearning”. Sharing her motivation behind the move, Divya wrote that meditation had completely transformed her outlook on life. “It helped me see myself and manifest the life of my dreams. I thought, what if I could teach others to do it too? So here I am to become a certified meditation coach,” she wrote in her video. Her caption read, “New journey, let me know what more on this journey should I talk about.” Watch the video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQinGnbiXyr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link The post has gone viral, nearing seven lakh views, with people flooding the comments section, some applauding her decision, others relating deeply to her quest. One Instagram user wrote, “I stayed in Rishikesh for six months and it transformed me from within. It’s gonna be a wonderful experience, do soak in all the positivity of Rish. All the best.” Another user, with a hint of humour, remarked, “So now Rishikesh is the new sunburn bcoz this is probably the tenth or twelfth post I am seeing of people going there for retreats and making content on it.” Others were inspired by her courage. “You are inspiring me to do the same as I have always been inclined to Yoga and meditation,” one person commented. “I was in Rishikesh for few hours just to see the Ganga Aarthi, it moved me so much I started to cry, would love to go there again.” Woman leaves Dubai for Rishikesh
