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?We won't say anything about this, except when Ms. Clinton attacks us. We will bring it up in that case as a counterattack.
- 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?This is definitely going to be part of our campaign, along with many other things.
- 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?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.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?This has been misunderstood from the first day. All I'm calling for is for us to not send unqualified hacks to negotiate our trade deals. I love trade.
- 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.
- 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?What grand gesture? I'll just remind them that Hillary Clinton is going to be President if I lose.
- 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 Chris Christie as your running mate?Chris Christie has walked the walk as Governor of New Jersey. I'm going to work with the best people as 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?We've all seen Hillary Clinton lie about this scandal from the first day until now, and she's still lying about it. It's unbelievable what she thinks she can get away with.
- 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.
- Do you support the Supreme Court ruling in 2015 which struck down any prohibition on gay marriage?I fully support gay marriage, but I'd like to see every state make this decision for itself.
- Do you support the practice of fracking? What is your overall view on energy policy?I'm opposed to fracking, and I think we need a lot more regulation of the practice.
- 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?Is it any coincidence that the Clintons had Chelsea during the roughest part of Bill's political career? The people of Arkansas were beginning to figure out that there's no love in Clinton relationship. Just a naked ambition for power, that's all.
