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 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?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?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 Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?Bill Clinton is a sick man and his people, including Hillary, have silenced a number of women over the years who tried to speak out.
- 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?I'm not the one who has a say in the matter. It sounds like he doesn't want to speak there anyway, and so be it.
- 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?Life is one of those beautiful, beautiful things, it really is. And a lot of people, you know, it's always surprised me how many people have mixed feelings about life.
- 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?It's pathetic how losers like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush, these guys couldn't even get 10 percent of the vote, and now they're the judge and jury? Sad!
- 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 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.
- How do you plan to address Obamacare as you campaign?Obama's disastrous management has driven this program into the ground. We're going to stop the rate increases and the disaster stories of people being turned away from the health care they deserve.
- 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?If you're a Bernie supporter, you should be outraged by this manipulation of the democratic process. It looks like the fix was in for Crooked Hillary from the day she started running!
- 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.
- 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?Obamacare is not slavery, period. But one thing that's very unfair with the media -- they will sit there through a three hour speech and ignore the whole speech, and use one phrase in a hit piece. And who knows if he even meant to say it, or he was tired after a long day?
- 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.
