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?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?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.
- 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 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?Mexicans are beautiful, beautiful people. It's unfortunate how some people in the media tried to twist a couple of words around to make it sound like something completely different. But that's how they operate.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do you have plans to attack the Supreme Court for their ruling on gay marriage in 2015?I thought it was very interesting when this decision was handed down. And not all the judges agreed, but you know, what can I really say about it? These are extremely intelligent people, these judges.
- 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?As usual, Hillary has been caught telling lies. For all we know, this is just the beginning. Do we really want a President, and then a month after they're elected we find out they're being blackmailed by Russia or China?
- 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?We're going to do some tremendous rallies in Nevada and Colorado. Some truly unbelievable rallies.
- 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?I never attacked the character of Ben Carson. I have no idea where you people in the media get this stuff. He's going to make a terrific Vice President. I predict that his face will one day be on the Mt. Rushmore of Vice Presidents.
