Trump’s ego bruised: says “Iowa meaningless”, turns into cry baby
Is this what you would want for a president? Me either.
Donald Trump went into the Iowa caucuses on Monday as the Republican presidential front-runner and finished an unexpected second. Now, he is retweeting a follower who declared Iowa is “meaningless” in the overall election picture.
“@restorereality Iowa is meaningless…keep pushing forward, run the table in NH SC NV and Super Tuesday. America needs you! #TrumpTrain“

Trump appeared much more subdued when he met supporters in Iowa after the results were announced late Monday night. He then fell uncharacteristically silent on Twitter, his favorite mode of communication with the public.
But he was back by midday Tuesday, playing his second-place finish to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as a win. He was never expected to do well in the heavily evangelical state anyway, Trump noted, and therefore didn’t spend much effort there.
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

Trump then turned to blasting the media for what he termed unfair coverage of his campaign [even though he was covered more than 10 times as much as Ted Cruz].
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

Finally, Trump sounded unhappy with voters for not giving him credit for not taking money from big donors. He has said he wouldn’t be beholden to special interests since he is using his own massive wealth to pay for his campaign.
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!

Later in the afternoon, Trump fired a zinger at Cruz’s own speech, which was criticized for its length. Trump’s own speech was much shorter.
Anybody who watched all of Ted Cruz’s far too long, rambling, overly flamboyant speech last nite would say that was his Howard Dean moment!

“Trump’s ego bruised: says “Iowa meaningless”, turns into cry baby”
This title feels childish, like a celebrity gossip magazine.
The truth is always difficult for Trump supporters.
LOL, shalom.
Just being a business man does not qualify Trump for the Presidency…he has a big ego, and its his way or the highway….he would not make a diplomatic President.
