Dear Trump supporters..Happily, a level of civility seems to have returned to FR, after being absent for several months. And I'll own up to having tossed fuel on the fire, on more than one occasion.

But this is an honest attempt at understanding. After being in quiet mode for almost 12 hours, Trump has started Tweeting again.

And I don't understand what he means? Is he saying that it is NOT worth his while to self fund for the office of the president?

George Soros could tweet the very same thing.

Not worth it? Does that mean he is going to seek donations or that he is dropping out?

It’s twitter being one of the worst inventions in the world for a man who just speaks his mind.

if he had spent more on a ground game, he might have won.

i’m sure all the candidates are thinking things we dont want to hear. they just dont put them to twitter.

thank goodness

It is hard to understand.

Sounds like he’s feeling sorry for himself.

He does, though, take donations from which he pays himself back.

He does not self-fund.

Hate on the voters.

Cruz already tweeting that Trump has dropped out?

Oh wait. He’s saving that move for election night.

Compared to the other candidates he definitely does self fund. What donations he has gotten are peanuts compared to what expenses he has. And what candidate does not pay himself back for personal expenses. Be honest!

To my point of view it appears sour grapes he didn’t win last night. I believe he will regret posting this albeit never stating as much.

He is just saying he is the only one in the party not taking money from Wall Street and silicon valley and he is not getting credit for it.. Since Iowa elected another career politician hack that’s taking New York values money.

He is saying why spend his own money when it doesnt matter.He could get plenty of donations from his friends.

That’s my interpretation lol. Attack away Cruz bots

I think he means that by self funding he is not beholden to any special interest groups but voters don’t seem to care.

Don’t worry, Donald. Michael Bloomberg hasn’t thrown his wallet into the ring yet.

Rush covered this today...he is basically saying he is getting no street creds for self financing, nothing more or less.

I think Trump is preparing to start accepting larger donations and Super Pac support.

I don’t know.

I do appreciate him self funding but I don’t think he should have said not worth it.

Keep fighting Trump, you’re our only hope. Think how much fun you will have debating Bernie.
