For the record, we do NOT condone brigading or /r/the_donald, and do not take this as an endorsement to ask questions on our behalf.

Here are some of the questions that should be asked but won't be (part 1 - I'll add links for every claim I've made, give me time as I didn't expect this to be posted so soon)

One of the key platforms of your economic policy is putting 'America First' when it comes to trade. You've threatened to place tariffs as high as 45% on Chinese goods, in order to protect manufacturing jobs. But there is almost unanimous consensus amongst economists that free trade is good, that NAFTA, which you've railed against, was more beneficial than harmful (see the 2nd question of the first linked poll), that the poor and middle class disproportionally benefit from trade, and that it does not cost jobs on net (some are gained, some are lost). Why do you think you understand his issue better than the vast majority of economists, even those who would normally be ideologically opposed (I.E. Smith, Friedman, Krugman, DeLong, are all in agreement here)?

Deporting over ten million illegal immigrants could cost hundreds of billions of dollars. It would also lose the Federal government revenue, as most of them pay the payroll tax. What benefit justifies this massive increase in our debt, and breaking up millions of families and destroying the livelihoods of people, most of whom are just trying to escape the violence and poverty of the nations they came from?

In a debate, you were asked how your tax cuts would be paid for, when the Tax Foundation estimated they'd cost $10 trillion over 10 years, even when adjusting for the increased economic growth they'd generate. You responded that they'd be paid for by.... growth. How do you really plan on paying for them?

If immigrants reduce our wages and take our jobs, is population growth bad for the economy, too? Should women be prohibited from working to boost wages? Do you not think these people contribute to the economy too - by working, creating businesses, investing, etc.?

You promised to increase spending on military and the vets, while not cutting Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security. You also say you plan on balancing the budget. Yet, looking at the plans you've listed, a conservative estimate would be that, combined with current deficits, they'd add at least $2 trillion a year to the debt. With interest rates set to rise and the boomers retiring, this will only get worse as your administration continues. Given that you've stated you won't cut the biggest budget items, how are we going to even remotely get near a balanced budget? What if a recession or war occurs?

Let me tell you, free trade is bad. China is crushing us. We need to put America first!

The immigrants are taking over America. This flow must stop and it must stop now. I will use the supply of gold in Fort Knox and use it to both use money for the wall and the tax cuts!

For the other economic policies, I have a plan. It's a great plan, and it will get America back on track. It is America First!

The best plan. So good you wouldn't believe. It will... the plan.. there are parts. Amazing parts. I haven't decided on them yet. I'll get the best people. Good brains. The best. The best people. Everyone says it's the best plan. I've been talking to people. I'll let you know who when the time is right. Everyone says I have the best plan.

Here are some of the questions that should be asked but won't be (part 2 - I'll add links for every claim I've made, give me time as I didn't expect this to be posted so soon)

If you really don't have financial interests in Russia, or economic ties to the oligarchs or state-owned industries, as you claim, why won't you release your tax returns to prove it? You promised to release them before the election, and now you have backtracked. Why should we take your word for it?

You've gotten the GOP to remove pro-Ukrainian language from their platform and have [stated you won't protect the Baltic states.]http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/21/trump-would-not-leap-to-defend-baltic-states-from-russian-attack-nyt.html) Do you think this might empower Putin to try to conquer parts of Eastern Europe? Would this start a new cold war?

Apparently, you believe NATO should both be forced to spend more on defense (fair enough), and also pay a membership fee. Given that you've now promised not to protect NATO members, and want them both to "pay their fair share" and then some, do you think this will effectively be the end of NATO and our longstanding alliances with the various western democracies? If so, why is this desirable?

You're also anti-EU, as evidenced by your support of Brexit, and against intervening in Syria against Assad. While I also take those positions, given all these other stances I've listed, how can I be sure these are genuine commitments to decentralization and not attempts to break up the west's unity, especially considering you don't seem to be too heavy on the decentralization here at home?

Your advisors have ties to Russia. Should we be concerned about this? Could this have an influence on your policy?

Why haven't you said anything critical of Putin? Given your willingness to attack just about anyone, it seems a bit odd you won't say anything negative about perhaps the most dangerous and corrupt leader on Earth.

You have been endorsed by Putin, and have now had hackers that were likely agents of the Russian government attempt to sabotage your opponent in order to help you win the election. Given that, and all of the above, how do we trust that you aren't a Russian plant/puppet/Manchurian Candidate?

[–]JPetermanRealityTourShort fingered vulgarian[S] 68ポイント69ポイント  (9子コメント)

I'm not going to release the returns because it's a distraction from Making America Great Again

First off, let me say Putin is a genius. He can do whatever he puts his mind to, and he's very generous. Putin will lead Russia into prosperity and abolish Ukraine!

It has to be the end of NATO. We need it to be ended! We're blowing our money and NATO will not Make America Great Again.

I will not say anything critical of Putin because he's helped me through some hard financial times and he is a genius. I'm not a Russian plant because I, unlike Crooked Hillary Clinton, am going to focus on putting America First!

Trump "I'm going through an audit. A routine audit. Happens to rich people like me every year. Can't release with the audit."

IRS "It's no problem Mr. Trump, the audit doesn't mean you can't release your returns."

Trump "Uhhh...."

[–]memetrash15 32ポイント33ポイント  (6子コメント)

Will you stick it to the haters and losers by proving your self-proclaimed $10 billion net worth and $557 million income by releasing your tax returns? After all, you yourself said that you really think releasing tax returns is a positive thing when asked during the 2012 election: "I actually think that it’s a great thing when you can show that you’ve been successful and that you’ve made a lot of money and you’ve employed a lot of people." As the IRS has already reminded you, the audit doesn't prevent you from releasing them.

Why do you want to defund Planned Parenthood even though federal funds are already banned from going to abortion and have been for 40 years, defunding PP would result in a $130 million increase in direct spending, an estimated 217,000 abortions are avoided each year because of PP's contraceptive services, and you yourself acknowledged that PP helps millions of women annually?

When you accepted the nomination at the RNC you said, "Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it." Why, then, do you plan on leaving domestic and foreign (aka all) policy to your VP?

Your position on abortion laws has fluctuated during the last few months of your campaign. Please explain what your position is, how you plan to enforce or change existing laws, and how your plan compares to the GOP platform. You've stated that you want to defund planned parenthood, which sounds in line with how Republicans have been hastily shutting down women's health clinics through TRAP laws despite the fact that these laws don't improve outcomes,1 don't effect abortion rate,2 cut off access to other gynecological services (particularly for low-income women),3 and are contrary to established standards of medical care.4

Here are statements of yours:

Article

-you say there will be a massive recession (this means less tax revenue, since you don't understand basic macroeconomics)

-you say you will pay off ENTIRE debt in 8 years anyway

-you say we will do so while simultaneously cutting tax revenue by 1 trillion/year

-you say we will do so without touching social security, medicare, or the military

Social Security: $895 billion Military: $598 billion Medicare: $986 billion

Total: $2,479,000,000,000 (2/3rds of all government spending)

Annual tax revenue after your cuts: $2,400,000,000,000 (not even enough to cover those three alone)

How is this even remotely possible?

edit: I copy pasted this question to the donald (minus the "don't understand macroeconomics" part) and got banned within 15 minutes

  • What about Ben Carson? That !#**@$ looks like he's always practicing self-hypnosis. Shouldn't we cleanse our community to keep our bloodlines clear?
  • I don't care about your tax return as long as you build us that wall.

I got banned from TD (despite never breaking any rules [all I did was indicate I'm a Muslim]) but I want someone to ask a question that a president would say yes to, but TD would hate.

Like, "Do you support success for all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or ability?"

Obviously, TD would say no (since they hate Jews, Muslims, POC, and the disabled), but I would hope Trump would say yes (otherwise this is certainly the end).

Sorry, lazy copy and paste from a different thread (still by me).

Mr Trump, you've partial to bringing back torture against enemies of the united states that do not respect human rights. The head of CIA at least have said that he won't do such thing, and it's conceivable that other member of the armed forced and intelligence will also refuse to obey that command based on ethical reasons.

Do you think they should be charged or punished for that, and what kind of charge or punishment should that be?

Mr. Trump,

I am quite impressed that you know more about one of our foremost national security concerns, the Islamic State, than our generals. This is all the more remarkable considering that a mere six months prior you were under the impression that ISIS was a competitor of yours in the hotel business and you were not yet receiving security briefings. Would you share with us where you were getting your information? Also are there other national issues where your own privately sourced intelligence is superior to that produced by the various federal agencies? And if so, which issues would those be?

Hi Mr. Trump! Why do you take such a perverse glee in wanting to force our soldiers to kill random people just because they happen to be related to terrorists?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/3/donald-trump-says-hed-force-us-military-commit-war/

“They won’t refuse. They’re not going to refuse me,” he said. “If I say do it, they’re going to do it.”

http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/02/politics/donald-trump-terrorists-families/

"The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. When they say they don't care about their lives, you have to take out their families," Trump said.

Killing innocent civilians just because they happen to be related to a terrorist is a terrible precedent. It goes against all the ideals that America is supposed to stand for, not to mention it would certainly be used to embolden and recruit terrorists. Is that really what you want your legacy to be?

Mr. Trump, in the past you have stated that the current dose rate of vaccines may cause autism, that the "doctors lied" with regard to the autism/vaccine connection and that we should "[g]o back to single, spread out shots!" You have also stated that asbestos is "100 percent safe, once applied," and that the movement against asbestos was "led by the mob." In the same vein, your vice presidential candidate, Mike Pence, argued that the tobacco settlement paid by corporations was "more harmful [than] second hand smoke."

As president, would you appoint a surgeon general and a secretary of labor who support these positions, so that we can use asbestos as insulation, limit vaccines, and smoke indoors again?

  1. You've said that you'll ban either Muslims or people from countries that sponsor terrorism (depending on when you've been asked) from entering the US until we can "figure out what's going on". What exactly does "figuring out what's going on" mean? What would your administration be looking for, and what measurement(s) of success would be used to determine that immigration bans could be lifted?

  2. Specifically, how would you get Mexico to pay for the border wall? I haven't heard any concrete proposal on how this would be possible.

  3. How would a border wall would be effective at stopping illegal immigration? Surely you realize that people could break through, climb over, or tunnel under it. Mexican drug cartels were able to construct a tunnel under a prison to free El Chapo, so why would an unattended, unmonitored wall be considered a serious deterrent?

  4. Wouldn't it make more sense to combat illegal immigration at the root by cracking down on employers that hire them?

Mr. Trump, throughout the primary process, you ran on the message that because you self-funded your campaign, you were not beholden to special interests. You called (and continue to call) your political opponents "crooked" for accepting money from Super PACs. However, you've recently begun accepting corporate donations from Super PACs yourself. How do you reconcile this with the message you sent during the Republican primary? With respect to campaign finance, how are you any less "crooked" than your opponent?
