President Trump was on a tear this morning, unleashing a slew of hilarious tweets and retweets about last night’s embarrassing Democratic caucus fiasco in Iowa.
As of this morning, the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) has yet to report any official vote totals in the caucuses due to “inconsistencies in the reporting” of certain results.
President Trump reacted, calling the caucus an “unmitigated disaster,” and invoked the disastrous 2013 roll-out of the Obamacare website.
“Nothing works, just like they ran the Country. Remember the 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare Website, that should have cost 2% of that. The only person that can claim a very big victory in Iowa last night is ‘Trump,'” wrote the president.

At 11:30 p.m. ET last night, the IDP released the following statement:
“We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results. In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report. This is simply a reporting issue. The app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion. The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results.”
President Trump also retweeted White House official Dan Scavino, who posted a video of a dumpster on fire floating down flooded streets in response to the Iowa Democrats’ claim that they were “hard at work” to make sure voters had all the information they needed for the caucuses.

The president also retweeted Fox News contributor Guy Benson, who wrote of the Democrats and the disastrous caucuses, “‘No, but seriously, let us run your healthcare,’ they said.”

He also retweeted a video posted by BBC reporter Anthony Zurcher showing a young college student flipping a coin to determine which candidate would receive the last delegate after Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar tied:

Reacting to a tweet from NBC reporter Steve Kornacki, President Trump said, “It is not the fault of Iowa, it is the Do Nothing Democrats fault. As long as I am President, Iowa will stay where it is. Important tradition!
