During the interview with Florida radio host Joyce Kaufman, Carson said Trump was approached by multiple people to discuss his freewheeling use of the social-media platform.
"I hope that somebody closes that Twitter account, really," said Carson, a former presidential candidate who endorsed Trump.
"Well, I think he will come to understand," he added. "We talk about it, and a number of people have talked about it, including his family. And he knows that it's a problem. And the first part of solving the problem is recognizing that it exists."
Trump's tweets have sparked a large number of firestorms, including a recent one that promoted an unflattering photo of rival Ted Cruz's wife.
For his part, Carson has made a series of confusing remarks for a campaign surrogate in recent interviews. In a Thursday interview on CNN, he defended Trump's campaign manager, who faces a misdemeanor battery charge, by saying that most people face misdemeanor charges. He then suggested that one of the CNN hosts "probably" faced such a charge.
The host, John Berman, insisted he never faced such a charge.
Carson also told a radio host over the weekend that Trump has "major defects" as a candidate.
