Fox News released a clip of an interview set to air on Sunday with Donald Trump where he seems to tease the idea of still running third party if he isn’t treated fairly by the GOP at the convention:

Trump met with GOP chairman Reince Priebus earlier this week, calling the meeting “terrific”:

Although the New York Times reported that Priebus was very clear with Trump that the delegate issue wasn’t some scheme to steal the election and it’s his team’s responsibility to make sure they understand the rules in each state:
Reince to Trump: your delegate issue is not coming from the RNC https://t.co/VAAGoaBWBW

It was also leaked that the Priebus won’t give Trump’s campaign control of the RNC’s infrastructure if he is the nominee:
.@Reince signals that he won't be bullied by Trump and won't cede control of the RNC if he's the nominee. Good for him.

Exit question: How soon until team Trump clarifies on this, too?
