Trump prompted an
uproar when he made his comments in response to deadly shootings
in California by two Muslims who authorities said were
radicalized.
Gold letters spelling out "Trump International Golf Club,"
affixed to a landscaped stone wall at the entrance to the golf
complex being built by DAMAC Properties, were removed on
Thursday, according to a Reuters photographer.
Two days later they had been restored. DAMAC declined to comment
on Sunday on the brief removal.
Trump's comments provoked a backlash in the Gulf, where he has
said he would like to expand business, and one of the region's
biggest retail groups, Landmark, said it was pulling Trump
merchandise off its shelves.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who bought an 85
meter luxury yacht from Trump in 1991, called him a disgrace to
all America. "Withdraw from the U.S presidential race as you
will never win," the prince tweeted.
Trump retorted that the prince, who built up a fortune of $32
billion and announced in July that he would gradually give it
all to charity, "wants to control our U.S. politicians with
daddy’s money. Can’t do it when I get elected."
