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?These are the same people who said my campaign was hopeless and gave me terrible advice for the last year and a half. Not too smart!
- What was your rationale behind selecting Mike Pence as your running mate?Mike Pence is an incredible, incredible human being. He's been in there for many years, fighting for religious liberty, tax cuts, and a strong military.
- 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?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?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?Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?There have been some interesting investigations into this that the American people should look into. But my focus now, we have the economy, China, and so many of these other issues.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq?The political establishment on both sides got it dead wrong on Iraq. And now we have ISIS. I am the candidate who can destroy ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism!
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?Have you seen this kid in Arkansas? He looks just like Bill Clinton but there was probably a big cover-up there too.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?Over the years I've actually been tremendous friends with the Clintons. I really have. While they would be a disaster for the country, I don't want to get into that messy personal stuff.
- 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.
- 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?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.
- 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?You know, sometimes if the program grows by 4%, and then you do something and you don't even know you did something, especially when it's a Republican, and the program grows by 3.8%. The liberal media loves to call that a "cut".
- How do you plan to address Obamacare as you campaign?We need to be talking more about a massive infrastructure bill, and putting our factory workers and our coal miners back to work.
- 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?I don't want to speculate on what kind of incriminating new evidence might be in these emails. I just want to focus on our Make America Great Again agenda during the closing stretch of this election.
- 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.
- Pundits have started questioning the so-called Pence Rule, based on your running-mate's refusal to dine alone with a woman. What are your thoughts?Can you really blame Mike in this day and age? One false accusation or misinterpreted statement, and suddenly your entire career can be at risk.
