Answers:
- Your use of Twitter has garnered outsized attention in your run for the Republican nomination, but some advisors are leery of your erratic tendnecies on that site. How will you proceed?In this day and age you gotta use social media. You gotta. Now I think we can all agree that a general election is different from a primary so I might tone it down a little on some things, but you gotta use social media.
- What was your rationale behind selecting Ben Carson as your running mate?We're out here to show that we understand what it's gonna take to fix black America and open our great prosperity to all Americans. And it could be a really wonderful thing if we get people like Ben Carson in the right place to make a difference.
- The FBI director has handed down a severe criticism of Clinton's email practices while Secretary of State, though he declined to recommend any indictments. Do you have any comment?I have the utmost respect for James Comey and our terrific agents in the FBI. It seems like Hillary may have gotten lucky on this one.
- There was a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando overnight, perpetrated by a Muslim, resulting in 50 people killed. What is your reaction?Around the world we have Islamic terror striking at innocent lives, while the Democrats do nothing. If this attack on the LGBT community, this vicious attack, isn't enough to make them wake up, then what is?
- What will your message be as you accept the Republican nomination for President on national television?I will compare and contrast my stellar business record with the corruption and incompetence of Hillary Clinton, and remind voters of my views on Obamacare, tax cuts, and immigration. We're going to Make America Great Again.
- In the wake of your nomination, a few anti-Trump conservatives are organizing to cast votes for Evan McMullin as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?We have some strong statements to make on foreign policy, on federal judges, on religious freedom and taxes, that I think are really gonna show people I'm serious.
- There has been a violent terrorist attack in Nice today, resulting in the deaths of almost 100 people. How will you address this?Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse.
- 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?There's a terrific video out there -- have you seen it? It's just Hillary Clinton being on both sides of every issue for almost ten minutes. And remember when we thought John Kerry was a flip-flopper?
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?All of the above? This election is a war for the soul of America. There's no attack that I won't make against the Clintons.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?We almost had immigration reform. A beautiful deal, except that some radical Democrats wouldn't agree to the border security. But I think they'll see the light once they lose this fall.
- While attending a 9/11 memorial event today, Hillary Clinton was caught on video going limp and being carried into a van, apparently for medical attention. Do you have any comment?There are some very serious questions out there about her stamina. And another thing, her people lied about this whole incident until that video came out. Notice how Hillary has barely been campaigning at all the last few weeks?
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?Believe me, I can't wait to debate Hillary Clinton.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton for the foreign donations she has taken for the Clinton Foundation, often from Middle Eastern sources. Or, also, for her paid speeches from Goldman Sachs?This whole situation with the Clinton Foundation really should be against the law. You have foreign governments giving this charity millions of dollars, and that's supposed to have no effect on her Presidency?
- What is your position on gun control?We're going to be incredibly strong on the Second Amendment. If you look at Hillary, she's very obviously someone who hates guns. And I mean, I'm just talking about the facts here. But we're going to make guns even more legal.
- Do you plan to promise further tax cuts as you hit the campaign trail?I want to see us pass a gigantic tax cut for the middle and the working class. That's really where the focus should be -- we've got to get everyday Americans spending again to make this country great.
- Do you stand by your statements that there will be absolutely no cuts to Social Security or Medicare under a Trump Administration?We're going to take care of people when I'm President. Absolutely no cuts to Social Security and Medicare. We have millions and millions of people relying on these programs.
- Do you have plans to attack the Supreme Court for their ruling on gay marriage in 2015?I'm going to appoint judges who are extremely strong on the Second Amendment, and on Roe v. Wade. Very important issues.
- A video surfaced of you describing how you tried to seduce a married woman, and how you can generally kiss women or "grab them by the pussy". 14 women have also stepped forward to accuse you of assault. What is your response?I said some things in a private conversation that I shouldn't have, but think about what's at stake in this election. And think about all the times that Hillary Clinton helped her husband abuse and silence women.
- A leaked transcript from Wikileaks shows Hillary Clinton saying in a closed-door speech at Goldman Sachs that she is "center-left, center-right" and that she supports "open trade and open borders". How do you respond?No wonder she was working so hard to cheat Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. She's the Goldman Sachs candidate, folks, plain and simple.
- A leaked transcript from Wikileaks shows the Clinton campaign working with members of the DNC to collaborate against the campaign of Bernie Sanders in subtle but definite ways, such as the sharing of some debate questions before a primary debate. How do you respond?This just shows how terrified the DNC and the political establishment are of substantive change to the system. I am the outsider candidate who will fix Washington and drain the swamp.
- James Comey, FBI Director, has made a late announcement that additional emails have surfaced in Hillary Clinton's case, thanks to an investigation into Anthony Weiner. What are your thoughts?From the start, it's incredible that Hillary Clinton was even allowed to run. We're just fortunate that this news came out before the election. Can you imagine?!
- Where will you spend the final day of your campaign?The pundits might say this is crazy, but we're going to visit Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I think I can do four, maybe five rallies in one day. Maybe six.
- Many have started taking a second look at some of Ben Carson's past statements. Do you agree with his comparisons of Obamacare to slavery?Obamacare is not slavery, period. But one thing that's very unfair with the media -- they will sit there through a three hour speech and ignore the whole speech, and use one phrase in a hit piece. And who knows if he even meant to say it, or he was tired after a long day?
- In light of your scathing and unrestrained jeremiads against Ben Carson before the Iowa Caucuses, what makes you now think that he is a good running mate?We all say things in the heat of the moment that we might not mean later. You do it, I do it, Hillary Clinton has done it thousands of times. I was passionate about winning and I make no apologies.
