GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday morning, commenting on the Internal Revenue Service auditing him – a claim he made during Thursday’s GOP primary debate – and also going after rivals Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
I unfairly get audited by the I.R.S. almost every single year. I have rich friends who never get audited. I wonder why?

Tax experts throughout the media agree that no sane person would give their tax returns during an audit. After the audit, no problem!

I am self-funding my campaign and am therefore not controlled by the lobbyists and special interests like lightweight Rubio or Ted Cruz!

Fun to watch the Democrats working so hard to win the great State of South Carolina when I just won the Republican version – amazing people!

Trump also responded to the charge Rubio made during the debate that Trump was given $200 million dollars by his father. Trump argued he was given a one million dollar loan and paid it back.
I only wish my wonderful father, Fred, gave me $200 million to start my business like lightweight Rubio says. He didn't – total fabrication!

I started my business with very little and built it into a great company, with some of the best real estate assets in the World. Amazing!

During the debate in Houston, Texas on Thursday, Rubio charged, “Here’s a guy that inherited $200 million. If he hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches.”
Trump responded, “No, no, no. That is so wrong. We’ll work on that. I took $1 million and I turned into $10 billion.”
