Cruz has put his ass on the line in the Senate before, as you’ve said. Having said that, I do not think Trump’s statement is entirely unjustified.
Let me explain. In a practical sense, Trump is a deal maker. He understands/believes that to make any change in the world of business and politics, you have to be an idealogue in principle but a pragmatist in action. In that sense, an all or nothing personality who doesn’t understand or use incrementalism won’t make any positive changes at all.
Additionally, if I look at this from Trump’s perspective, he just heard a few days ago that Cruz was (apparently?) faking his cameradrae just to try to get voters. If I heard that someone I knew was doing that, I’d be seriously pissed off. This kind of response in this situation is actually MILD coming from Trump.

I just saw on TV what Trump said, and I agree. It was VERY mild. Just more proof that the conservative media can play Drama Queen just like the liberal media.
