Donald Trump indicated he would most certainly consider jumping ship and running as an Independent Third Party candidate if the GOP 'mistreats' him, according to recent interviews.
Pressed on whether he would run as a third-party candidate if he fails to clinch the GOP nomination, Trump said that “so many people want me to, if I don’t win.”
“I’ll have to see how I’m being treated by the Republicans,” Trump said. “Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor.”
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called Trump earlier this month asking him to tone down his controversial rhetoric. More recently, the RNC rebuked him for saying that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is not a war hero. Trump didn’t apologize but has since said that the 2008 Republican presidential nominee is a war hero.
Trump told The Hill that the GOP establishment in Washington dislikes him because he’s not part of the political class.
“I’m not in the gang. I’m not in the group where the group does whatever it’s supposed to do,” he said. “I want to do what’s right for the country — not what’s good for special interest groups that contribute, not what’s good for the lobbyists and the donors.”
The real estate magnate has upended the Republican presidential primary, with recent national polls showing that he is leading the 16-candidate field. Many in the party’s establishment, pointing to his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants and McCain, say that Trump is badly hurting the GOP brand.
Yet he is connecting with a significant chunk of GOP voters. And despite criticism from party leaders and other presidential candidates, Trump appears fueled by controversy.

NO Way In "L".
From What I'm Hearing I Can Only Calculate, The Only People Whom Support Trump Are Those Whom Listen To What He Has To Say ~ But Tend To Ignore What He Does.
`
~~ This Just In This AM On The National News: ~~
WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance scolded Volodymyr Zelensky to stop “badmouthing” President Trump on Wednesday after the Ukrainian leader accused his US counterpart of spreading disinformation — heightening an escalating spat following initial peace talks to end the three-year-old Russian invasion.
~~ “The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president’s mind by badmouthing him in public media, everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,” Vance told the Daily Mail in an interview.
~~ Trump tore into Zelensky earlier Wednesday as a “Dictator without Elections” — after the Ukrainian president said Trump was “living in a disinformation space.”
~~ The animosity increased between the men this week after Zelensky reportedly instructed his aides to reject a proposal by Trump for the US to gain access to up to 50% of many of the Eastern European country’s natural resources, including rare earth elements.
Does Any Of This Make Sense From What We've SEEN & HEARD?

I've voted third party most of my life. Until Trump, GWB was the only Republican Presidential Candidate I voted for before Trump, and that was because I despise John Kerry.
The 2012 election made me realize that the demographic shift away from the Democrats had added a new element to the Republican Party that made for some revolutionary change, so I started supporting the Rebels (Rand Paul is my Senator). This election was the final battle. What is more important is the fact that the Young Rebels have taken over the positions that were usually reserved for party favorites.

Not six years ago, and not now. He's lived like a King on other people's money. There is a huge difference between wealth and the appearance of wealth. He's also morally bankrupt.
