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 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 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?Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!
- 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!
- In a hearing today, a New York judge has set the trial date for the Trump University lawsuit to December of this year. Do you have any comment?Where is Hillary Clinton's apology for the email server, the war in Iraq, the dead ambassador in Benghazi, the Goldman Sachs speeches, and so many other issues of importance?
- 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?You better believe under my Administration, we're going to be focusing on America first, and not on these idiotic wars and trade deals. Do you think Hillary Clinton feels the same way?
- 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?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?We almost had immigration reform. A beautiful deal, except that some radical Democrats wouldn't agree to the border security. But I think they'll see the light once they lose this fall.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?I love free trade. This is another case where the media has taken a couple of sentences in a three-hour speech and made up a totally phony story. All I am saying is we've got to look out for America first in these trade deals.
- 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?I'm probably the most pro-life individual, maybe ever. And you know, one of the big issues in this election is the judges. Very important issue.
- 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.
- 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?If Hillary wants to go around claiming that we're corrupt somehow, I think there's more than enough ammunition here to fight back.
- 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?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?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.
- 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?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.
