Answers:
- Your use of Twitter has garnered outsized attention in your run for the Republican nomination, but some advisors are leery of your erratic tendnecies on that site. How will you proceed?In this day and age you gotta use social media. You gotta. Now I think we can all agree that a general election is different from a primary so I might tone it down a little on some things, but you gotta use social media.
- What was your rationale behind selecting Sarah Palin as your running mate?The sexist liberal media continues to blame this phenomenal woman for lazy John McCain's implosion in 2008. When I win this election, the failing New York Times will see just how wrong they've been!
- The FBI director has handed down a severe criticism of Clinton's email practices while Secretary of State, though he declined to recommend any indictments. Do you have any comment?I have the utmost respect for James Comey and our terrific agents in the FBI. It seems like Hillary may have gotten lucky on this one.
- There was a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando overnight, perpetrated by a Muslim, resulting in 50 people killed. What is your reaction?What happened in Orlando last right was a terrible tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
- What will your message be as you accept the Republican nomination for President on national television?I am self-funding and independent from special interests. Hillary Clinton has taken money from Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and many large donors within the United States. Who do you trust?
- In the wake of your nomination, a few anti-Trump conservatives are organizing to cast votes for Evan McMullin as a protest, with an emphasis on the Western states. What are your thoughts?Evan who? Have you seen this guy? I'm not too worried!
- In a hearing today, a New York judge has set the trial date for the Trump University lawsuit to December of this year. Do you have any comment?This is a minor civil case, pursued by a few disgruntled people for political purposes. Many many people were very satisfied with Trump University.
- There has been a violent terrorist attack in Nice today, resulting in the deaths of almost 100 people. How will you address this?My heart goes out to the fantastic and resilient people of France, it's one of the most beautiful countries, as they deal with unspeakable tragedy.
- To what extent will you attack Hillary Clinton's equivocation on the Benghazi attacks in 2012?She went on television after this attack and she lied. All to cover up her own failures in security. And now she wants to be President?
- Are there any personal attacks you would like to throw at Bill and Hillary Clinton over the next few months?They say there's a war on women, but we now have reports that Bill Clinton is a rapist and women who are coming forward, and Hillary is right there trying to silence them.
- To what extent will you attack Bill Clinton's history of infidelity, impeachment, and so on as you campaign?Over the years I've actually been tremendous friends with the Clintons. I really have. While they would be a disaster for the country, I don't want to get into that messy personal stuff.
- Do you plan to repeat the rhetoric you used about Mexican immigrants when announcing your campaign?Mexicans are beautiful, beautiful people. It's unfortunate how some people in the media tried to twist a couple of words around to make it sound like something completely different. But that's how they operate.
- Should Mitt Romney be given a speaking slot at the Republican Convention this year, given the tension between you two?This is the guy who lost in 2012. He was a loser. And then he gave speeches against me from the beginning. I mean, is this really the kind of guy we want at our convention?
- To what extent will you make opposition to current trade agreements a part of your speeches and campaign?I love free trade. This is another case where the media has taken a couple of sentences in a three-hour speech and made up a totally phony story. All I am saying is we've got to look out for America first in these trade deals.
- 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, this is hard for me. Really it's not something I usually do, I'm very against it. But this one time, I am willing to apologize for what I said a couple of times. Emotions were heated, and I may have helped push a couple of individuals over the line.
- While attending a 9/11 memorial event today, Hillary Clinton was caught on video going limp and being carried into a van, apparently for medical attention. Do you have any comment?In spite of everything, I hate to see something like this. You know, she was at my wedding. A lot of people forget that, but I never want to see her undergo physical harm. I wish Hillary a speedy recovery and I'm sending her my thoughts.
- Do you plan to participate in the traditional three debates, between yourself and Hillary Clinton?Believe me, I can't wait to debate Hillary Clinton.
- What is your position on gun control?I've seen some of the catastrophes we've had, and maybe something like a better background check system could help, within reason you know.
- How do you plan to address Obamacare as you campaign?Obamacare is one of the biggest disasters in the history of the United States. We're going to totally repeal this monstrosity and let free enterprise fix our health care system.
- A video surfaced of you describing how you tried to seduce a married woman, and how you can generally kiss women or "grab them by the pussy". 14 women have also stepped forward to accuse you of assault. What is your response?It's not often that I feel shame. People who know me can agree. But I am very sorry for the way I acted in this situation, and we can't allow one ill-advised conversation to derail the entire future of the United States.
- A leaked transcript from Wikileaks shows Hillary Clinton saying in a closed-door speech at Goldman Sachs that she is "center-left, center-right" and that she supports "open trade and open borders". How do you respond?If it's really true that Russia collaborated to release this information about Hillary Clinton's private speeches to Goldman Sachs, then I totally disavow and denounce these illegal leaks.
- A leaked transcript from Wikileaks shows the Clinton campaign working with members of the DNC to collaborate against the campaign of Bernie Sanders in subtle but definite ways, such as the sharing of some debate questions before a primary debate. How do you respond?I am preparing a severe criticism of Russia as we speak, a very very strong criticism I think you'll agree. For seeking to divide us as a nation by releasing this information about Hillary Clinton and her political tricks.
- James Comey, FBI Director, has made a late announcement that additional emails have surfaced in Hillary Clinton's case, thanks to an investigation into Anthony Weiner. What are your thoughts?I don't want to speculate on what kind of incriminating new evidence might be in these emails. I just want to focus on our Make America Great Again agenda during the closing stretch of this election.
- Where will you spend the final day of your campaign?We're going to do some tremendous rallies in Nevada and Colorado. Some truly unbelievable rallies.
- Some advisors are privately alarmed at the long, meandering, and aggressive stump speeches that Sarah Palin is giving. Do you have any thoughts about reining her in?It's really a ludicrous thing. You have the same people who led John McCain and Mitt Romney to defeat. And now they've given me the same terrible advice for months. We're not gonna change a thing.
