Trump blames the VOTERS for Iowa loss: Republican claims he got no credit for self-funding - then claims he isn't getting credit for 'long-shot great finish'
Donald Trump spent this morning doling out blame on Twitter for his Iowa loss.
'I don't believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!' Trump tweeted.
He also pointed fingers at the media for now crowning his second place finish behind Ted Cruz a win.
'The media has not covered my long-shot great finish in Iowa fairly. Brought in record voters and got second highest vote total in history!' Trump wrote.
The usually Twitter-happy Donald Trump kept quiet for 15-plus hours in the aftermath of the Iowa caucuses, where he was bested Cruz, but finally popped back online this morning to thank voters and spin his defeat.
'My experience in Iowa was a great one. I started out with all of the experts saying I couldn't do well there and ended up in 2nd place,' Trump tweeted. 'Nice.'
'Because I was told I could not do well in Iowa, I spent very little there - a fraction of Cruz & Rubio. Came in a strong second,' Trump continued. 'Great honor.'
Trump is looking forward to New Hampshire, a state where his polling edge is in double digits, where he'll campaign tonight in Milford in a bid to bury his Iowa defeat.
'I will be talking about my wonderful experience in Iowa and the simultaneous unfair treatment by the media-later in New Hampshire. Big crowd,' he also tweeted.

But Soros hasn’t given Trump a dime...
I’d swear...you are a liberal. Based on your post..........
It is not at game lil girl.
This is for winning back the republic that America stood for.
If you want to keep playing games, keep supporting The Mouth.
He is all about reality TV shows that Americans like you so desire to watch.
Now go back to your dolls and GAMES and leave me alone I got work to do.
Hell my in-laws are fiscally conservative hate the hell out of taxes and voted for Obama twice.
So just what are you trying to tell me?????
Just what I was telling you, NH is full of LIBTARDS!!!!!!!
then your in-laws aren’t Republicans
America Lost last night
We had a chance to destroy the liberal media and instead we shocked new life into that zombie, that zombie what will destroy us all in the end.
The GOPe won
The liberal media won
We had a guy take on the liberal establishment media by not attending another lousy stooge debate and we punished him for that action. Now they are gloating that they are king makers and no candidate would ever make that “mistake” again.
Yes, it was a great night, for the establishment and their media shills
Why would Trump need Soros’s money?
Think about it
Think about it for a while and get back to us ok?
One reason Trump is “self-funded” (anyone who believes that has got rocks for brains) is so he never has to report how much has really been spent or lost. He has done this with all his projects that went bankrupt, using junk bonds to stay afloat till the bills came due.
See ‘ear’, YOU are exactly what I’m speaking of.
If you are delusional enough to think this name calling ‘game’ is going to keep me in the dirt with YOU, you are sadly mistaken.
You want to believe Cruz is the 2nd coming, enjoy your little fantasy fanboy. He’s as damaged as all the rest.
Grow up
I've seen Ted Cruz, Ann Coulter and Mark Levin all called RINOs in the last few weeks.
FR is weird right now.
I suggest we let them do what they want.
I don’t care to play that game any longer.
If they do destroy Trump, I think the nation is done for.
We can’t make it with anther Bush.
Others may not see it this way, but I see Cruz as a Bush.
Not trying to be offensive, but Ted is not my idea of a Conservative.
I realize that sounds absurd since I back Trump. IMO, Trump has been honest about who he was, what changes he made, and what he intends to do today.
I’m sorry, but I do not see Cruz the same way.
Take care.
Friend, just to be sure that you know, I switched to Trump almost 2 weeks ago....so I agree. ;>)
Thank you. I appreciate the clarification.
It seemed to me you might support him.
You could also have said that if you supported Cruz, but I appreciate the comments.
Take care.
Sorry, I’m tired. Hope this wasn’t too disjointed.
Just fine...good night
He is the second coming. The second coming of Reagan. Just listen to his platform statements and look at his actions
Now that is just weak and pathetic. Did Levin tell you that?!
