“I think I did very well in Iowa”, Trump said, “especially considering how Ted Cruz got some votes”.
The billionaire then hastily deleted his tweet, only to repost his words after correcting an error and taking out “illegally”.
CNN has accused the campaign of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz of making false statements about the network’s reporting on the campaign of GOP rival Ben Carson.
Cruz’s campaign said later that they should have sent “around the follow-up statement from the Carson Campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race”.

A relaxed and confident former secretary of state answered questions from voters after clinching the narrowest win in Iowa caucus history with 49.8 percent of the vote compared to 49.6 percent for Sanders.
Both campaigns have been competing to manage expectations for Tuesday’s contest: Clinton has played up Sanders hailing from nearby Vermont, while Sanders has emphasized Clinton’s victory over Barack Obama in the 2008 New Hampshire primary.
But Trump didn’t stop there as he leveled other claims against Cruz, including that the Texas senator falsely suggested he supported Obamacare.
“Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud“, Trump said in one of his tweets. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler earlier Wednesday denied the campaign had spread the message Carson was dropping out-potentially freeing his supporters to support Cruz in Iowa instead-and had merely told supporters about Carson’s travel plans. Cruz said his campaign could have later clarified that Carson was not quitting the race, but that he was not firing or punishing any of his staff for their failure to do so.
Cruz, the conservative senator from Texas, defeated Trump in Iowa Monday night.
