Trump Slams The Voters: I Will Keep Self-Financing, ‘But Not Worth It!’
Donald Trump is finally speaking at length on his second-place finish in the Iowa caucuses — and where else, but on Twitter?
The Donald started off seemingly gracious, in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
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. 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. Great honor

But then he started to get a little resentful:
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!

I will be talking about my wonderful experience in Iowa and the simultaneous unfair treatment by the media-later in New Hampshire. Big crowd

And finally, he unloaded on the real culprits: The voters, who don’t truly deserve him and all his money.
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!
