Answers:
- What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?I will promise to the convention floor that I am a true conservative on gun rights, abortion, taxes, and many other issues. It would be terrible if we let these issues divide us in the face of Hillary Clinton.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?We need to elevate the tone of this campaign. I'm not going to continue digging into these old issues.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?We're going to be mentioning Benghazi a lot in our campaign.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a private email server in her home, while Secretary of State?Whenever Ms. Clinton implies that I'm unqualified to serve as President, we will immediately ask what was going on her brain when she installed this server?
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq?This invasion was one of the biggest disasters in the history of the United States. We're going to dredge up a lot of memories about this before our campaign is through.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton for her changing views on gay marriage, criminal justice, illegal immigration, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or other issues?Hillary Clinton has been on both sides of so many issues it's pathetic. I'm not going to give a speech between now and November where I don't talk about her views on Iraq, gay marriage, illegal immigration, criminal justice, drug policy, free trade, and so much more.
- What do you have to say in response to allegations that your Trump University used a number of unethical practices?I will apologize about this whole mess. And I'll ask where Clinton's apology is for the email server, the war in Iraq, the dead ambassador in Benghazi, and so many other issues of importance.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?I'll say whatever comes to mind at a given moment. But the thing is, we're going to get Mexico to build a wall, and then we're going to do something to reform the immigration system.
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?If Romney is willing to endorse me and give a speech supporting me, we can let him into the convention hall.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?Bill and Hillary Clinton have thrown millions of American jobs away. And also, a lot of these were jobs that African-Americans could be doing right now, which is why unemployment is so terrible in that community.
- Do you still hold a pro-life position on abortion? What do you have to say about previous incarnations of your views on that subject?This is the kind of issue that I wasn't thinking about very much when I was younger. But it's clear to me now what a terrible thing abortion is.
- What do you have to say to conservatives who doubt your commitment to their cause in this election? Do you have any grand gestures to make?When I'm President, I'm going to appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. And if he doesn't want the seat, we're letting him name his choice.
- Many accuse your heated rhetoric of fueling violence at your rallies, which have become known for their protestors and altercations. What are your thoughts?You know, I said a few things at the beginning of 2016 for rhetorical effect, and I didn't mean for so many people to take them literally. I should have known that the press would be looking for any excuse to discredit an anti-establishment candidate who doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists.
- In the wake of your nomination, a number of prominent anti-Trump Republicans are organizing to cast votes for Libertarian Gary Johnson as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?My conservative credentials are beyond all question. It's really just sour grapes, and not accepting the will of the Republican voters in the primaries which is driving this.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?Winning a nationally televised debate with Hillary Clinton will be the greatest experience of my life.
- What was your rationale behind selecting Ben Carson as your running mate?Ben Carson knows just how badly Clinton and Obama have failed the black community. Not to mention, he's a very patriotic, conservative figure who is more than qualified to be my Vice President.
- While giving a speech today, Hillary Clinton suddenly stopped speaking and appeared to briefly faint. A Secret Service agent supported her, and she came to and quickly finished the speech. Do you have any comment?I'm not going to wade into this. We have no idea what's going on with her.
- The FBI has recommended the indictment of several of Hillary Clinton's aides, based on classified intelligence which they obtained from secure facilities and emailed to her. Do you have any comment?We've all seen Hillary Clinton lie about this scandal from the first day until now, and she's still lying about it. It's unbelievable what she thinks she can get away with.
- In a hearing today, a New York judge has set the trial date for the Trump University lawsuit to August of this year. Do you have any comment?I've apologized for my role in this university already, and I will again today.
- Do you support the Supreme Court ruling in 2015 which struck down any prohibition on gay marriage?I can't support it. You know, once upon a time we actually had a legislature in this country which debated the laws and made these kinds of decisions.
- Do you support the recent reopening of relations with Cuba?I'm glad that we have reached out to Cuba, but I would like to have seen a little more insistence that they liberalize their country first.
- There has been a coordinated, violent terrorist attack on several American cities over the past day, resulting in the deaths of at least 100 people. How will you address this?The first thing is, let's take a moment of respect for the people who were affected by this horrible tragedy. And I trust that our authorities are on this case and over the coming weeks we will get more information about what happened.
- Where will you spend your final day of the campaign?Florida
- To what extent will you connect the dots between the Clintons' support of free trade and tough sentencing, and the huge unemployment in the black community?I think we have more to lose than to gain by going after the black vote heavily. So many Republican politicians have proven the futility of that course of action.
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?Is it any coincidence that the Clintons had Chelsea during the roughest part of Bill's political career? The people of Arkansas were beginning to figure out that there's no love in Clinton relationship. Just a naked ambition for power, that's all.
