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 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?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.
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?My position on this issue is clear, but we're going to focus on immigration and other issues more than trade.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do you believe that the Senate should confirm Merrick Garland, an Obama appointee, to the Supreme Court?This is congressional obstructionism at its worst. We've seen any number of judges be appointed in the final year of a term. We can't have what we're seeing right now.
- Do you support the recent reopening of relations with Cuba?I fully support Barack Obama's actions in regards to Cuba.
- 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.
- 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 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.
- 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?You know, I almost hate to bring it up, but there are credible accusations that Bill fathered a black child with a Little Rock hooker. And furthermore... Hillary has conspired to threaten these people into keeping silent.
