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?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?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 will compare and contrast my stellar business record with the corruption and incompetence of Hillary Clinton, and remind voters of my views on Obamacare, tax cuts, and immigration. We're going to Make America Great Again.
- 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.
- 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?This is a minor civil case, pursued by a few disgruntled people for political purposes. Many many people were very satisfied with Trump University.
- 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 for her changing views on gay marriage, criminal justice, illegal immigration, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or other issues?No matter what she says now, we know Hillary Clinton was a hawk on Iraq, she opposed gay marriage, she loved NAFTA and China, she was anti-illegal immigration, and much more. I don't know how her supporters can trust her.
- 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?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.
- 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.
- 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?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.
- 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.
- What is your position on gun control?We're going to be incredibly strong on the Second Amendment. If you look at Hillary, she's very obviously someone who hates guns. And I mean, I'm just talking about the facts here. But we're going to make guns even more legal.
- 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.
- 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?The pundits might say this is crazy, but we're going to visit Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I think I can do four, maybe five rallies in one day. Maybe six.
- 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 the biggest disaster in the history of the United States in at least the last 100 years. Dr. Carson and myself, he is a medical doctor you know, we might use different words to mean the same thing.
- 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.
