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 Sarah Palin as your running mate?The sexist liberal media continues to blame this phenomenal woman for lazy John McCain's implosion in 2008. When I win this election, the failing New York Times will see just how wrong they've been!
- 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?The leadership of this country has been a disaster, and because of this many lies have been spread about me. I am the one who can fix our problems with trade, with ISIS, with Obamacare, and with many other issues.
- 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?Evan who? Have you seen this guy? I'm not too worried!
- 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 equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?I will do a much better job than the clueless Democrats when it comes our national security. Democrats couldn't even guard a single embassy, and they say they can defeat ISIS?
- 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.
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?I will relentlessly focus on the issues like our terrible trade deals, our decaying military, repealling and replacing the Obamacare disaster, and more.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?You better believe that TPP is dead, from day one of my Presidency. And we're going to be looking into some of these other deals too and we'll be very careful about the trade deficit.
- 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?One thing we've really got to do is make the Republican Party more inclusive. We used to get so many votes, and there are a lot of people out there more concerned about their jobs, about this illegal immigration farce, and many other things.
- 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, this is hard for me. Really it's not something I usually do, I'm very against it. But this one time, I am willing to apologize for what I said a couple of times. Emotions were heated, and I may have helped push a couple of individuals over the line.
- 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?In spite of everything, I hate to see something like this. You know, she was at my wedding. A lot of people forget that, but I never want to see her undergo physical harm. I wish Hillary a speedy recovery and I'm sending her my thoughts.
- 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?If Hillary wants to go around claiming that we're corrupt somehow, I think there's more than enough ammunition here to fight back.
- What is your position on gun control?I've seen some of the catastrophes we've had, and maybe something like a better background check system could help, within reason you know.
- Do you plan to promise further tax cuts as you hit the campaign trail?I really want us to look into increasing the child tax credit, in closing some loopholes for the banks on Wall Street, and so on. We have some good things there that will send the right message to the American people.
- 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.
- 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?If it's really true that Russia collaborated to release this information about Hillary Clinton's private speeches to Goldman Sachs, then I totally disavow and denounce these illegal leaks.
- 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?We're going to do some tremendous rallies in Nevada and Colorado. Some truly unbelievable rallies.
- Some advisors are privately alarmed at the long, meandering, and aggressive stump speeches that Sarah Palin is giving. Do you have any thoughts about reining her in?I really hate to do this, but we gotta try and lower her profile. I love Sarah, she's incredible, but we need her to be incredible around the people who appreciate her incredibility.
