Donald Trump finally posted a tweet late Tuesday morning following an unprecedented 15 hours of Twitter silence after being upset in the Iowa caucuses by Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz.
“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,” the celebrity real estate tycoon tweeted before launching into a tweetstorm.

He offered a measured speech Monday night congratulating Cruz after the Texas senator took 28 percent of the vote compared to Trump’s 24 percent. Marco Rubio took 23 percent for third place.
