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 Chris Christie as your running mate?Christie showed that an agenda of fiscal responsibility and pragmatic, outsider solutions can win in so-called blue states. I know this might sound crazy to the liberal media, but I will win New Jersey in this election.
- 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?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 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.
- There has been a violent terrorist attack in Nice today, resulting in the deaths of almost 100 people. How will you address this?As President, in spite of what people in the liberal media say, I will work very closely with our foreign allies on issues of importance. Together we can unite against and defeat radical Islamic terror.
- 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?They say there's a war on women, but we now have reports that Bill Clinton is a rapist and women who are coming forward, and Hillary is right there trying to silence them.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?I am really hoping to keep this campaign focused on the issues, but if Hillary wants to use this "war on women" nonsense, I reserve the right to call her out on it, along with Bill.
- 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?We're going to end NAFTA and we're going to get a new deal with China when I'm President. What's happened with trade in the last twenty years is a disgrace.
- 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?I think you've seen with my running mate that I take the Republican Party very seriously, and believe me, I want to see us win in November and prevent a complete disaster under Hillary Clinton.
- Will you stand by your calls to keep all Muslims from entering the United States?The media totally leaves out the part where I said the ban should be temporary, until we can figure out what's going on. But they want to paint me as some kind of bigot to further their liberal agenda for America.
- 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?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?Believe me, I can't wait to debate Hillary Clinton.
- 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 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?It's not often that I feel shame. People who know me can agree. But I am very sorry for the way I acted in this situation, and we can't allow one ill-advised conversation to derail the entire future of the United States.
- 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?Let's not complicate this too much. The election pivots around Pennsylvania -- we're going to spend the morning in Pittsburgh and the evening in Scranton.
- The questions surrounding the so-called "Bridgegate" scandal and New Jersey aren't going away, and today Chris Christie snapped at a reporter over the issue. Was his behavior appropriate?Chris Christie is a fighter. And we will never apologize for our efforts to fight for the American people, whether it's in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or many other terrific states across this wonderful, blessed nation.
