I think it's a lot harder for a 3rd party or independent candidate to get on the ballot than a major party nominee.

They have to gather signatures for petitions, which wouldn't be a problem for Trump from a numbers standpoint; but having to develop teams to navigate all 50 states would be tricky to ramp up in a few months.

The key date to watch is May 9th. That's the deadline to get on the Texas ballot; a state that would seemingly be crucial to a Trump Independent campaign.
