Republican gadfly Donald Trump announced a new campaign strategy on Tuesday: whining.

"I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "I am a whiner, and I'm a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win. I want to win for our country, and I'm going to make our country great again." You can listen to his whining remarks beginning at the 26-minute mark in this video:

The future Whiner-in-Chief also explained that he is leaving the door open to a third-party run in case the GOP is not "nice" or "fair" to him.
