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?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?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?The leadership of this country has been a disaster, and because of this many lies have been spread about me. I am the one who can fix our problems with trade, with ISIS, with Obamacare, and with many other issues.
- 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?We have some strong statements to make on foreign policy, on federal judges, on religious freedom and taxes, that I think are really gonna show people I'm serious.
- 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?Some people under me put this scheme together, and when I found out, I fired them. It's as simple as that. This whole thing is the media trying to set up a false equivalency between myself and Crooked Hillary.
- 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 equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?I will do a much better job than the clueless Democrats when it comes our national security. Democrats couldn't even guard a single embassy, and they say they can defeat ISIS?
- 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?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.
- Many accuse your heated rhetoric of fueling violence at your rallies, which have become known for their protestors and altercations. What are your thoughts?This is a total overreaction as usual. And how about the fact that the Democrats were sending fake protestors to my rallies to get these headlines up in the first place?
- 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?This whole situation with the Clinton Foundation really should be against the law. You have foreign governments giving this charity millions of dollars, and that's supposed to have no effect on her Presidency?
- What is your position on gun control?We're going to be incredibly pro-Second Amendment. And it's definitely a factor I'll consider as we're making appointments, you know, with judges and so on.
- 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.
- Do you have plans to attack the Supreme Court for their ruling on gay marriage in 2015?What's wrong with letting New York decide this issue one way, and many other states can decide it the other way? I mean, am I nuts here?
- 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?I said some things in a private conversation that I shouldn't have, but think about what's at stake in this election. And think about all the times that Hillary Clinton helped her husband abuse and silence women.
- 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?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?I love our military. We're going to do a gigantic rally in Pensacola, Florida, and we're going to win Florida on election day.
- 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.
