Answers:
- What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?I am calling out the leadership class on their failures, and because of this many lies have been spread about me. I support legal immigration and a safe zone for Syrian refugees, but you'd have no idea if you were listening to the folks in the media.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?I will casually refer to Mr. Clinton as “the rapist” and imply that his people, including Hillary, have silenced a number of people over the years who tried to speak out.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?We're going to be mentioning Benghazi a lot in our campaign.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a private email server in her home, while Secretary of State?The American people are sick and tired of hearing about Clinton's emails.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's 2002 vote to authorize the war in Iraq?She's probably expecting a lot of attacks on this issue -- let's keep her off balance by focusing on other things.
- 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?We've both changed our opinions about things in the past. Let's be judicious about the attacks that we make.
- What do you have to say in response to allegations that your Trump University used a number of unethical practices?It's a minor civil case, pursued by a few disgruntled people for political purposes. Most people were very satisfied with Trump University.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?I'll say whatever comes to mind at a given moment. But the thing is, we're going to get Mexico to build a wall, and then we're going to do something to reform the immigration system.
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?If Romney is willing to endorse me and give a speech supporting me, we can let 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?The President is supposed to do what the American people want them to do, and the people in this country are pro-life, and I will respect that.
- What do you have to say to conservatives who doubt your commitment to their cause in this election? Do you have any grand gestures to make?When I'm President, I'm going to appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. And if he doesn't want the seat, we're letting him name his choice.
- 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?You know, I said a few things at the beginning of 2016 for rhetorical effect, and I didn't mean for so many people to take them literally. I should have known that the press would be looking for any excuse to discredit an anti-establishment candidate who doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists.
- 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?What is the point? Are they going to make Gary Johnson the President? Why don't they just vote for Hillary and cut out the middle man.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?At this point, it's hard to have any faith that the media will moderate these debates in an impartial manner. I will buy a half hour of time on every major network and make my case directly to the people.
- 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.
- The FBI has recommended the indictment of several of Hillary Clinton's aides, based on classified intelligence which they obtained from secure facilities and emailed to her. Do you have any comment?I've gotta tell you, I'm pretty surprised. It would be a shame if we decided this election based on politically motivated prosecutions, rather than the issues.
- Do you support the construction of a 20-foot wall along the entire length of the U.S.-Mexico border?This is one of the most far-fetched ideas that I've heard in my political career.
- What is your opinion of Barack Obama's performance as President?I will be very proud to continue with the policies and economy that Obama has left our country with.
- What is your position on the abortion issue?I will defend a woman's right to choose against any type of outside attack or meddling. We need to fight the recent attacks on abortion access.
- What are the next steps that the United States should take to combat global warming?We need to extend our tax credits for green energy installations, and increase the amount of spending on research. We also need to take active steps to reduce carbon emissions.
- 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.
- 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?I think we have more to lose than to gain by going after the black vote heavily. So many Republican politicians have proven the futility of that course of action.
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?We can't even be sure that Bill is Chelsea Clinton's father. There are a lot of good arguments pointing to other people on this one.
