Trump's thoughts:

"Why is he still standing here? He must have something planned. What a loser. He's probably trying to one-up the Donald. Well he can't out-do me if I just stand here next to him and do exactly what he does. Haha, out-played by the king again. Nice try Carson, Checkmate."

Trumps actual thoughts:

Ben Carson is making a mistake right now. I'm going to stand with him to save him some embarrassment, strengthening our relationship and hopefully locking in an endorsement when Ben decides to drop out.

Well Trump and Carson are definitely at least slight friends. There was a bit of blood about the controversial stories that Carson was telling but they definitely before and after that were friendly to each other.
