Answers:
- What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?I will promise to the convention floor that I am a true conservative on gun rights, abortion, taxes, and many other issues. It would be terrible if we let these issues divide us in the face of Hillary Clinton.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?We need to elevate the tone of this campaign. I'm not going to continue digging into these old issues.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?A lot of Republicans made themselves look pretty silly over this issue. We have plenty of over things to bring up.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a private email server in her home, while Secretary of State?Whenever Ms. Clinton implies that I'm unqualified to serve as President, we will immediately ask what was going on her brain when she installed this server?
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq?Whenever Ms. Clinton implies that I'm unqualified to serve as President, we will immediately ask 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?Hillary Clinton has been on both sides of so many issues it's pathetic. I'm not going to give a speech between now and November where I don't talk about her views on Iraq, gay marriage, illegal immigration, criminal justice, drug policy, free trade, and so much more.
- What do you have to say in response to allegations that your Trump University used a number of unethical practices?I will apologize about this whole mess. And I'll ask where Clinton's apology is for the email server, the war in Iraq, the dead ambassador in Benghazi, and so many other issues of importance.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?I probably won't use the word “rapist” again. But I will, you know, remind people that Hillary Clinton was saying she was “adamantly against illegal immigrants”. What made her change her mind?
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?Bill and Hillary Clinton have thrown millions of American jobs away. And also, a lot of these were jobs that African-Americans could be doing right now, which is why unemployment is so terrible in that community.
- 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 think we can do everything we can to discourage abortion. But I'd say it depends ... if we're talking about making abortion illegal then that's a different story. You can be pro-life without saying it should be illegal.
- Will you stand by your calls to keep all Muslims from entering the United States?I never meant that I was going to keep all Muslims from entering the United States. All I meant, was that we can't have people coming here with possible ties to ISIS until we figure out what's going on.
- Many accuse your heated rhetoric of fueling violence at your rallies, which have become known for their protestors and altercations. What are your thoughts?It's so unfair what's happening, it's a tragedy. You have paid outside agitators breaking up my events and violating my 1st Amendment rights, and then the media is covering them to discredit my campaign.
- In the wake of your nomination, a number of prominent anti-Trump Republicans are organizing to cast votes for Libertarian Gary Johnson as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?My conservative credentials are beyond all question. It's really just sour grapes, and not accepting the will of the Republican voters in the primaries which is driving this.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?Winning a nationally televised debate with Hillary Clinton will be the greatest experience of my life.
- What was your rationale behind selecting Ben Carson as your running mate?Ben Carson knows just how badly Clinton and Obama have failed the black community. Not to mention, he's a very patriotic, conservative figure who is more than qualified to be my Vice President.
- While giving a speech today, Hillary Clinton suddenly stopped speaking and appeared to briefly faint. A Secret Service agent supported her, and she came to and quickly finished the speech. Do you have any comment?I'm amazed that Clinton has even been allowed to run. But you know, she's had health issues in the past. It's a huge risk to elect her this fall.
- In a hearing today, a New York judge has set the trial date for the Trump University lawsuit to August of this year. Do you have any comment?This entire case is a farce from start to finish. It's a minor civil case.
- Protests at a Trump rally in Oakland, California degenerated into a riot last night, with extensive property damage and at least one death. What are your thoughts?MoveOn, the Clinton campaign, and other groups will risk lives to get protestors to my rallies. It's a terrible thing, really.
- Do you support the construction of a 20-foot wall along the entire length of the U.S.-Mexico border?We're going to build the wall, and Mexico is going to pay for it.
- What steps will you take to reduce or increase spending as President, per your priorities?We're going to support anyone in this country who tries to get a college education. We're going to protect Social Security and make sure our veterans are adequately cared for.
- Do you support the practice of fracking? What is your overall view on energy policy?I love fracking. We need to do anything we can to support it.
- What is your take on the Black Lives Matter movement?I believe that black lives matter. I fully support this group in their objectives. They are the civil rights group of our time.
- Where will you spend your final day of the campaign?Florida
- To what extent will you connect the dots between the Clintons' support of free trade and tough sentencing, and the huge unemployment in the black community?We're going to be putting out 2-3 tweets a day about how the Clintons have failed the black community on trade and immigration and criminal justice. We have an opening to do much better than Romney or McCain did with this group.
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?Any story we can get, let's throw it out there. We're going to go with the tactics that have gotten us this far.
