Donald Trump might run as independent if Republicans reject him

Donald Trump is running for President – and it looks like there’s very little anyone can do to stop him.

The billionaire businessman and former reality TV star is currently one of 16 candidates running for the Republican Presidential nomination.

After a shambolic campaign that has seen TrumpĀ fall out with party figures, he is nowĀ threatening to run as a third party candidate if he is rejected.

He told The Hill during an interview: “The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy… theĀ RNC has been, I think, very foolish.”

On a potential third-person run, he said: “So many people want me to, if I donā€™t win [the Republican nomination].

“Iā€™ll have to see how I’m being treated by the Republicans. Absolutely, if theyā€™re not fair, that would be a factor.”

So far during the campaign, Mr Trump has claimedĀ thatĀ Mexican immigrants include ā€œrapistsā€ and bring ā€œdrugs and crimeā€ ā€“ and insistedĀ he believe in ā€˜traditionalā€™ marriageĀ despite beingĀ married three times.

It was later allegedĀ that the realityĀ TV starĀ ā€“Ā who has already been sacked by NBCĀ ā€“ paid actorsĀ $50 each to pretend to support himĀ at his Presidential launch.

 

He alsoĀ leaked the personal phone number of one of his rivals, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, during a televised speech.
