Answers:
- Where will you spend your final day of the campaign?Virginia and North Carolina
- 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?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?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.
- 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.
- 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 not going to wade into this. We have no idea what's going on with her.
- What do you make of recent news that Bernie Sanders has declined to endorse a candidate for President?His supporters, the ones who aren't paid agitators, they ought to be voting for me. Good for him for standing on principle.
- 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?I've apologized for my role in this university already, and I will again today.
- What is your position on gun control?We need to hold gun stores accountable when their weapons are used in violent crime. We need extensive measures to keep guns off the streets and away from criminals.
- What actions would you take in Syria to help stabilize the situation there, and to combat ISIS?We should establish a safe zone in Syria for refugees, while doing anything we can to effect a transition from Assad.
- 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 believe that the Senate should confirm Merrick Garland, an Obama appointee, to the Supreme Court?You can't confirm him. We've got to let the people decide this November.
- 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.
- 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 position on the European Union? Do you believe that countries such as the United Kingdom should exit the Union, given the current problems?The European Union has been a complete disaster, and I can't blame any country, especially the United Kingdom, that would want out.
- 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?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.
