There are reports going around this morning that the RNC Chair, Reince Priebus, called Trump and told him to tone it down. However Trump just tweeted and said that is totally false:
Totally false reporting on my call with @Reince Priebus. He called me, ten minutes, said I hit a “nerve", doing well, end!

And just as a side note, apparently Trump has taken the lead in a NC PPP poll:
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is the leading choice among North Carolina Republican primary voters in a recent Public Policy Poll.
Trump received 16 percent, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush received 12 percent.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker came in tied for second with Bush at 12 percent.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was third with 11 percent.
Dr. Ben Carson got 9 percent with Sen. Marco Rubio.
Sen. Rand Paul got 7 percent while Sen. Ted Cruz got six percent.
Gov. Chris Christie received five percent.
Carly Fiorina followed with four percent and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry had two percent.
Sen. Lindsey Graham had one percent, as did Gov. Bobby Jindal, and former Sen. Rick Santorum.
Gov. John Kasich and George Pataki were under one percent.
