US President Donald Trump gloated over the 'unmitigated disaster' of the Democrats' failure to release results from the Iowa caucuses, while his allies fuelled conspiracy theories.
Democratic Party officials blamed technical problems for chaos in the counting of what was meant to be the official launch of the primary season to pick a candidate in the November presidential election.President Trump won his own Republican caucuses in the Midwestern farm state on Monday night with little effort, as expected, given that it was effectively never a contest.
President Trump's son Eric tweeted that Republican voting"broke ALL-TIME records for turnout for an incumbent president! The energy here in #Iowa is electric!" "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!" he tweeted.
President Trump paints Senator Sanders as a"radical socialist" and says he'd love to face him in the election.
