Yet another #Trumpertantrum… @realDonaldTrump very angry w/the people of Iowa. They actually looked at his record. https://t.co/S85mxlhLK1

As Twitchy reported, a bitter Donald Trump is raising eyebrows with his tweets today, accusing Ted Cruz of stealing his Iowa Caucus victory through “fraud.” And, doggone it, he wants something done about it!
Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

The State of Iowa should disqualify Ted Cruz from the most recent election on the basis that he cheated- a total fraud!

But it looks like he was only getting started:
Trump says he’ll probably sue over Iowa results, accuses Cruz of “voter fraud” https://t.co/xYDyO6v0jG pic.twitter.com/VEgqW6j3ZE

More from BuzzFeed:
In an interview on Boston Herald Radio on Wednesday, Trump criticized the Cruz campaign for spreading a CNN report saying Ben Carson would not travel to New Hampshire and South Carolina after the Iowa caucuses, suggesting Carson was getting out of the race. Cruz apologized to Carson on Tuesday for his campaign not sending out updates that Carson was doing laundry and not dropping out.
“One of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen. They said he was quitting the race and to vote for him,” said Trump.
Asked if he would sue, Trump said, “I probably will; what he did is unthinkable. He said the man has left the race and he said it during the caucus. And then when the clarification was put out by Ben Carson saying it’s untrue, they got the statement and they didn’t put it out.”
Yesterday, many tweeters remarked on Trump’s calmer demeanor when he spoke in New Hampshire:
Trump very subdued in press conference — dare I say, "low energy?"

But that’s apparently gone out the window. Which is fine with some tweeters:
@thehill He has a point. Cruz has sign his own fate.

And now, well, he’s getting pummeled for his perceived petulance:
@thehill "The lawsuits will continue until the voters elect me."
