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?Ben Carson is one of the most terrific choices we could have come up with. He's another one of those outsider figures who really got some traction in this race, and he'll help us unite our supporters accordingly.
- 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?First of all, our hearts and prayers really go out to everyone affected by this shooting, and particularly the victims. But it would be a real tragedy if we used this incident as an excuse to restrict our constitutional rights.
- What will your message be as you accept the Republican nomination for President on national television?I am the true conservative when it comes to gun rights, abortion, taxes, and many other issues. It would be terrible if we let the left-wing media divide us in the face of Hillary Clinton.
- 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?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?Hillary Clinton keeps saying that I'm unqualified to serve as President, so what was going on her brain when she voted for the war in Iraq?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?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?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?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?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?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?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.
