| Trump Threatens Independent Preside |
| Trump Threatens Independent Presidential Run If He Does Not Get 'Fair' Treatment

| US presidential candidate Donald Trump threatened to run as a political independent if he does not get "fair" treatment from the Republican Party, he said in an interview published today.
Trump said any third-party bid would depend on the Republican National Committee's actions during the party's primary selection process, according to the Hill.
"I'll have to see how I'm being treated by the Republicans," Trump was quoted as saying. "Absolutely, if they're not fair, that would be a factor."
The comments by the real estate mogul and TV personality followed rebukes by the party establishment over his criticism of Mexican immigrants and US Senator John McCain's war record and for personal attacks against fellow Republican White House contenders.

With Trump hovering near the top of the field of 16 candidates seeking the party's presidential nomination, an independent run would split Republican voters and could give leading Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton an edge in the November 2016 election.
Trump said the RNC was "always supportive" when he donated to the conservative party, the newspaper reported.
But now, "the RNC has not been supportive," he said in the interview on Wednesday. "The RNC has been, I think, very foolish."
