Answers:
- What message will you emphasize as you accept your party's nomination for President of the United States?I will compare and contrast my business record with the corruption and incompetence of Hillary Clinton, and question why she is even allowed to run for President. We're going to Make America Great Again!
- 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?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 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?
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?Absolutely not. I don't want him anywhere near the convention. He was a loser in 2012 and he'd lose again if we were crazy enough to give him the nomination.
- 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.
- 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.
- What do you make of recent news that Bernie Sanders has declined to endorse a candidate for President?He's probably concerned about associating his name with a felon. I would be too.
- What actions would you take in Syria to help stabilize the situation there, and to combat ISIS?I would consider a pretty heavy bombing campaign there. We're going to bomb ISIS. We're going to bomb Assad. We're going to bomb the oil.
- Do you support the recent nuclear deal between the United States and Iran?This is a signature accomplishment of the Obama Administration, and I support it whole-heartedly.
- Do you support the Supreme Court ruling in 2015 which struck down any prohibition on gay marriage?This decision was a milestone for equality in our country. I will appoint judges who feel the same way about it.
- Do you support any type of comprehensive immigration reform, and if so, to what extent?I will push for comprehensive immigration reform within 100 days of taking office. This will bring security to millions of families and make it harder for companies to exploit foreign workers.
- How concerned are you about the $17 trillion debt that the United States currently owes?I will increase taxes on wealthy Americans to stabilize the federal budget and reduce our debt.
- What is your position on the European Union? Do you believe that countries such as the United Kingdom should exit the Union, given the current problems?We've all seen the issues with the European Union, and it obviously hasn't been perfect. But I'd hope that any country consider things very carefully before they decided to leave.
- 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?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.
