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?I'm the best thing that's happened to CNN since the Gulf War. If I stop tweeting for a couple of weeks, they'll run a story about me every hour asking why!
- 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?This investigation by our so-called FBI was a farce from start to finish. How can someone destroy massive amounts of evidence in the midst of a federal investigation and not be charged?
- 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 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?Hillary Clinton deleted 32,000 emails under House Subpoena, along with many other crimes. When people see that I'm the only one who can defeat Crooked Hillary, they will reject this nonsense.
- 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?This is a minor civil case, pursued by a few disgruntled people for political purposes. Many many people were very satisfied with Trump University.
- There has been a violent terrorist attack in Nice today, resulting in the deaths of almost 100 people. How will you address this?My heart goes out to the fantastic and resilient people of France, it's one of the most beautiful countries, as they deal with unspeakable tragedy.
- 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 Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?We need this campaign to focus on the substantive issues, like Obama's assault on religious freedom and free speech. There are plenty of people out there digging up dirt on the Clintons.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?I was using "rapists" as a figure of speech. But I will, you know, remind people that Hillary Clinton was saying she was "adamantly against illegal immigrants". What made her change her mind?
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?The failing New York Times and many others have totally exaggerated this to make us look divided in the face of Hillary Clinton. I would be glad to work with Mitt and get him into the convention hall.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?I love free trade. This is another case where the media has taken a couple of sentences in a three-hour speech and made up a totally phony story. All I am saying is we've got to look out for America first in these trade deals.
- 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?The most important thing right now is to remember our heroes from 9/11. I will be making a number of campaign stops these next few days where I mention our veterans, and our other heroes.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?These moderators ganged up on John McCain. They ganged up on Mitt Romney. I don't understand why Republicans keep going up there to let some hack from MSNBC browbeat them in front of 50 million people.
- 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 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.
- 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?I am preparing a severe criticism of Russia as we speak, a very very strong criticism I think you'll agree. For seeking to divide us as a nation by releasing this information about Hillary Clinton and her political tricks.
- 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?Whatever you want to say about Obamacare, it won't be around for long when I'm President, believe me. We're going to repeal and replace the Obamacare disaster so fast, it's going to be truly something.
- 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.
