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 Mike Pence as your running mate?Mike Pence is an incredible, incredible human being. He's been in there for many years, fighting for religious liberty, tax cuts, and a strong military.
- 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'm deeply concerned about this whole episode. We don't know yet whether there was a crime or not, but you can be sure that a Trump Administration will be looking into this some more.
- 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?What happened in Orlando last right was a terrible tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
- What will your message be as you accept the Republican nomination for President on national television?I am self-funding and independent from special interests. Hillary Clinton has taken money from Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and many large donors within the United States. Who do you trust?
- 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.
- In a hearing today, a New York judge has set the trial date for the Trump University lawsuit to December of this year. Do you have any comment?Where is Hillary Clinton's apology for the email server, the war in Iraq, the dead ambassador in Benghazi, the Goldman Sachs speeches, and so many other issues of importance?
- 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 decision to set up a private email server in her home, while Secretary of State?Hillary Clinton continues to say that I'm unqualified to serve as President, so 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?No matter what she says sometimes, we know Hillary Clinton is weak on national security, supports open borders, radical social change, and probably gun confiscation while we're at it. I don't know how the American people can trust her.
- 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.
- What do you have to say to conservatives who doubt your commitment to their cause in this election? Do you have any gestures to make?There's a list of 20 federal judges that I will promise to make appointments from? If that will make Ted Cruz endorse me, it seems like a small price to pay.
- Many accuse your heated rhetoric of fueling violence at your rallies, which have become known for their protestors and altercations. What are your thoughts?Hillary Clinton would be a disaster for this country, her husband signed NAFTA, and now she says she wants open markets and many other things.
- 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?The Russians gave her $2 million. The Saudis, the Arabs, they gave her a lot. Millions from the Bank of Switzerland and Deutsche Bank. It's all about the charity, right?
- Do you plan to promise further tax cuts as you hit the campaign trail?I promised no cuts to Social Security and Medicare. And we're going to repeal and replace the Obamacare disaster. You should see how people cheer when I talk about that!
- How do you plan to address Obamacare as you campaign?We're going to repeal and replace Obamacare under my Administration. And under my new plan, people are going to get unbelievable health care like they've never seen before.
- 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?This outrage is an elitist conspiracy to undermine my chances in the final days of this race. NBC was sitting on this video for 11 years! It almost reminds you of what they did to Bush in 2000.
- 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.
- Pundits have started questioning the so-called Pence Rule, based on your running-mate's refusal to dine alone with a woman. What are your thoughts?Can you really blame Mike in this day and age? One false accusation or misinterpreted statement, and suddenly your entire career can be at risk.
