No.
It wasn't the force of the jab or even the fact that he criticized Cruz.
It's the substance of the criticism. Cruz called McConnell a liar. Trump takes the side of every Dimocrat, Senate RINO, the media and the Turdle himself.
You interpret Trump saying “C’mon Chris, he’s a little bit of a maniac” to mean Trump supports Dems, Rinos, and McConnell. OK that’s cool. You sound like a bit of a drama queen though.
Hell, I watched every minute of Cruz’s filibuster, loved it, and thought to myself “This guy’s a bit of a maniac, but I love him!”
Can you say “overreaction”?
