Speaking to reporters in New Hampshire, Cruz quipped that with Trump in charge, Americans might wake up and find he’s “nuked Denmark.”
“It seems his reaction to everything is to throw a fit,” the Republican presidential candidate said, adding: “He’s losing it.”
Fox News reports the tough response came after Trump unleased a hail of tweets accusing the Texas Republican senator of cheating in the Iowa caucuses -- calling for either a new election to be held or the results to be nullified.
He was referring to accusations from candidate Ben Carson that Cruz supporters falsely told caucus-goers the retired neurosurgeon was suspending his campaign, as well as a controversial Cruz mailer that accused Iowans of a “voting violation.”
"It was a fraud as far as I'm concerned," Trump told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Wednesday evening. "I think what he did is disgusting. He said that Ben Carson, who's a fantastic guy, had dropped out."
Trump also claimed “he cheated,” tweeting: “Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!”
Carson, meanwhile, added fuel to the debate as he escalated accusations Wednesday that Cruz supporters spread false rumors on caucus night that he was suspending his campaign.
At a Washington press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Carson said the Cruz campaign tried to “distort” information and claimed the interference impacted the outcome of the race.
Interviewed earlier on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Cruz apologized to Carson.
