More Trump Versus Trump – The Iowa Tweet Edition!!
Trump really seems like the GOP version of Obama – he will change his story completely just to save his own ego.
Here’s what he said about spending in Iowa when he thought he was gonna win:
My campaign for president is $35,000,000 under budget, I have spent very little (and am in 1st place).Now I will spend big in Iowa/N.H./S.C.

But now he’s saying he didn’t spend 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

So he’s blaming the “experts”? But if he’s so smart then why did he listen to them and not spend in Iowa? I thought he was smarter than everyone else. According to those who know him well, he actually doesn’t ever take anyone’s advice. But that’s an easy excuse to make after a loss.
UPDATE: This is an important point to make about his “self-funded” campaign:

The truth is that the media is funding his campaign. If they stopped covering him 24 hours a day, he’d have to pay for it, or lose in the polls. And he’s already said it isn’t “worth it” to spend 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!

Oh and also.. remember when he said how brilliant he was for skipping the GOP debate?
Here’s some irony for ya:
It's no wonder @RickSantorum is surging in Iowa – he agreed to participate in the Newsmax-@iontv debate!

LOL!!! Of course there’s video of him mocking candidates for missing that debate – posted here.
