"Shots fired"
Following Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal's statement on Friday...
.@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.

... we said, "we now anxiously await Trump's twitter response."
We no longer have to wait, because as of late last night, the Donald responded:
Dopey Prince @Alwaleed_Talal wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddy’s money. Can’t do it when I get elected. #Trump2016

Ironically, as The Hill reports,
Bin Talal told The Economist in 1999 that he started his business with a $30,000 loan from his father and by mortgaging a house his father had given him for $400,000.
Trump, the son of a wealthy real estate developer, has said he received a "small" $1 million loan from his father after he graduated from college in 1968. Forbes estimates his net worth at $4.5 billion.
