GOP frontrunner Donald Trump said in a letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker Tuesday that the network’s “tremendous” profits off the second Republican presidential debate should go to veterans’ charities – since it’s “due 100%” to Trump in the first place.

In the letter, Trump tells Zucker that he has heard ad rates have skyrocketed, increasing by 4,000 percent, and will only go higher.

“While I refuse to brag, and as you know very well, this tremendous increase in viewer interest and advertising is 100% due to ‘Donald J. Trump,'” Trump wrote in the letter.

The letter, which really is worth reading in its entirety, is embedded below:

Your move, CNN.
