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?

To be perfectly honest, and speaking as a Trump supporter, I don’t have the slightest idea what he was trying to say there.

Big Trump supporter, but this is an ill-advised tweet (not that Trump takes advice from anyone). But yeah, it’s not a good look to complain that “the voters” aren’t giving you credit for something.

I believe Rush thought Trump may have been saying that the effort to constantly try and tell voters that he was funding his own campaign “was not worth it”.

It sounds to me like he is saying “Look at how much of my own money I spent and you Iowan rejects didn’t vote for me! What’s wrong with you people? You are so not worth it. I will keep spending my own money to influence people who appreciate the importance of being a billionaire.”

That is my take. Unfortunately, much of what Trump says is completely open to interpretation. Everyone walks away with a different idea about what he really means. No one knows for sure. It’s Trump. Others will have a completely different interpretation. They don’t really know either. It’s Trump. Trump probably doesn’t know. His fingers Tweet faster than his brain engages. It’s Trump.

I’m still wondering why the media isn’t blasting Trump for trying to buy the presidency. Maybe Trump called in a few favors, or perhaps they’re just holding on to that attack for later.

When Bloomberg spent $102,000,000 in the NYC Mayoral election, it was not unusual to hear how he bought his victory.

I had never thought of it in those terms, but hey-—Great job Donald!! I give you credit for trying to buy the Oval Office!!!

If I had a Twitter account, I would give him this credit all over Twitterdom.

Someone embedded with his campaigb posted on another forum and said they (amd Trump) are livid and think there was a lot of corruption in the counting. Said he has been advised not to dwell, but to concentrate on NH. FWIW.

“Not worth it” = “ I wasn’t given credit for the great sacrifices I have made and the stupid, fat common voters from Iowa are stupid and fat. I donated all this money so the stupid, fat Iowans could vote for me. I will punish them by not letting them vote for me ever again.”

Ok. I hang my head a little for trump support. That said the tweet is another reference to his lack of. campaign contributions and another I’m so rich comment. Another defeat or two and he’ll go into melt down. I’d almost call that tweet the beginning of the end. A couple more states and we’ll know. I still have major doubts about cruise winning a general though. Please don’t confuse doubt and dislike.

Oh people starting to understand that anything other than a complete win is not acceptable to the Donald.... Look we can’t take another narcissistic egotistical maniac in the Presidency hasn’t Obama taught us anything?

But this is an honest attempt at understanding...

Without calling his wife and daughter whores? Wow, you've changed. Not. #sorrynotsorry

I lost all respect for you on that other tread.

Looks to me like he’s hinting that in the future he will begin to accept donations.

????????????

Anybody can issue a bogus tweet. Maybe it comes from the same Cruz guy rewsponsible for the Carson drop out story.

Once Trump and Cruz demolish themselves over this stupid crap, only Rubio is in the way of Jebber. Unless of course, Goldman Sachs and the other Crony Capitalists succeed in buying Rubio off with their filthy money.
