Questions and Answers so far - will keep updated

Hello Mr. (future) President!

Space Exploration

• 1) Would the Trump government be open to expanding manned or unmanned American space exploration?
• 2) What about projects like the Orion spacecraft?
• 3) Would work towards a Mars (or another moon) mission be accelerated?

Breaking up Trusts

• 1) As president would you consider bringing back real antitrust legislation against monopolistic companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc? They have no loyalty to any nation and many are run by megalomaniacs that will do anything to line their pockets. They may be private companies but they provide a public service.
• 2) Would you consider enacting antitrust laws against media conglomerates such as News Corp? A few men and their friends control a massive number of media outlets all over the world and they get to decide the narrative. Would you be willing to support bringing back legislation that limited the number of media outlets that one person/group could be allowed to own?
• 3) Your campaign has pointed out that The Washington Post has been used by Jeff Bezos of Amazon for political purposes. Would you be willing to support independent journalistic integrity by restoring past legislation restricting the owners of big businesses from using their own media holdings for their own political/financial purposes?

Cybersecurity

• 1) As president would you support legislation defining some sort of security protocols that companies would be obligated to follow to insure the security of their data?
• 2) Do you think methods like personal encryption make us safer from malicious individuals (or governments) or do they make us unsafe by preventing law enforcement from doing their job?

Bonus

1. Benefits for the self-employed are difficult. Do you support the separation of insurance and employment? And, what steps would you take to ensure those without traditional employment have access to health care?
2. I am a biomedical scientist-engineer by training. Are you satisfied with the current levels of federal grant funding available? And, what specific plans do you have regarding academic and corporate-sponsored research?
3. Self-employment taxes are high. What steps will you take to reduce the tax burden of the self-employed? (who pay the highest marginal tax rate)
4. Despite living in categorical poverty, I did not receive a large amount of federal or private support for my education. This forced me to take on a significant amount of student loans. Income-based repayment has helped, but is not enough. What options do you support for reducing the burden for high capital, low-wage student loanees? Do you support discharge of loans via Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
5. Most discussions are set around those living in urban and suburban areas. What will you do to support those of us living in rural America?

• can be completed within 2-3 years (less than one term in office)
• costs up to $30 trillion but generates $18 trillion in revenue per year upon completion (costs are very, very conservative high end estimates as you will see later and ~$5T is more reasonable but I don’t want to oversell)
• at the end of 4 years, you have a net profit of $6T plus $18T in revenue every year thereafter

• pay off the national debt
• cut taxes to 0% across the board
• maintain all government spending without any further taxation
• start cutting a check to every American every year for $50,000

• Launch 100,000 tons of material into GEO using the Falcon Heavy at a cost of $1000/kg for total rocket costs of $100 billion
• This 100,000 ton of material is used to build a capturing device for payloads sent into space with a rail gun (the simplest idea, but not the best, is to think of it like a big fluffy mattress in orbit - you can hit the mattress with your rail gun payloads to bring them to rest with respect to your target in geosynchronous orbit)
• To give you an estimate of the railgun costs, high performance maglev tracks cost about $100 million per mile and we need 100 mile long track to keep the gee loading of launches within human survivability. That’s $10 billion, but adding a factor of 10 call it $100 billion for our launch device

• Here, I have used NASA’s estimates of material costs from 2012 with an economy of scale gained from 500MW production (34,000 times smaller than the actual scale, therefore grossly inflated costs on a per unit basis)
• $400 million material costs (solar panels, wireless transmission, mirrors, etc.) per 500 MW translates to $13.6T for 17GW of power.

• Send up 500 MW of solar power generation capacity and 25,000 ion thrusters (what 500 MW can power)
• It takes 50 days for these 25,000 ion thrusters to correct the orbit of the station
• Every doubling of power output thereafter takes only 50 days and we need 16 doubling cycles to reach 17TW or ~26 months

• The net result is that we’ve paid for 850 million ion thrusters at a cost of $10,000 a piece or $8.5 trillion on top of our $13.6 trillion in solar panels / mirrors / wireless transmission / etc.
• If you employ 10 million people at $100,000/year for 3 years as part of the project, that costs a further $3 trillion
• net total is ~$26T

• material costs can be expected to drop ~95% from an increase in production scale factor 34,000 so our material inputs of $22 trillion is more likely close to $1 trillion
• I’ve calculated thrust requirements based on a vertical launch from Earth, but the more practical design is an angled launch so that our projectile arrives with a substantial portion (90%) of its orbital velocity, thereby reducing thrust requirements 90%
• We recapture ~30% of salaries paid ($3 trillion) in taxes plus economists put the multiplier effect of infrastructure programs at around 3 which makes them approximately revenue nuetral (i.e. further recapturing 30% of 3x your expenditure) without considering the benefits of the project in the long run
• we can build an orbital ring to support wired transmission of power back to Earth for less than the cost of sending up wireless transmission capacity

Mr. Trump,

Question: How do you plan to help revitalize the dying private practice medical industry for small business doctors?

REDDIT, CROOKED ADMINS JUST REMOVED THIS THREAD FROM /r/ALL AND THE FRONT PAGE

1. How do you feel about doing debates on networks that have proven to be colluding with the DNC / Hillary Campaign? Will there be any push to ensure the debates are more fair?
2. In the future debates do you plan on bringing up older issues that the media seems to ignore, such as the speech transcripts or the lack of recent press conferences?
3. Why do you believe your movement has gained such a tremendous following online?
4. You have said before that you plan to deport the illegal immigrants currently in the United States, but many have criticized the difficulty of this task. Once president would you consider a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently in the country if they meet certain criteria?
5. What is your favorite food at Raising Canes?

WAR ON DRUGS

“

Republican candidates historically struggle to appear compassionate and relatable to Americans in exchange for dry policy speeches that many Americans can't connect with. What will you do to showcase your love and devotion towards ALL Americans, and defeat the Democrats' FALSE narrative of a divisive, hateful, bigoted, and self-interested Republican candidate and party come November?

“

Historically, Republicans have done a poor or absent job reaching out to typically Democrat constituencies and campaigning in Democrat districts. How will you reach out to heavily-Democratic groups such as women, and the black, Hispanic, and LGBT communities, and what will you do to change the perception and outreach efforts of the Republican Party to be one of inclusion and prosperity for ALL Americans?

“

I am an American with a learning disability; I am on the autistic spectrum/have Aspergers' syndrome. This makes it challenging to socialize, network, and have initiative in life which are critical to career advancement, but our education system and our workforce fails to adequately recruit, train, and accommodate disabled workers. What will you do for Americans with learning disabilities in regards to our education system and finding gainful employment in our competitive workforce?

Would you consider creating an independent taskforce (and strengthening whistleblower laws) to allow government workers to submit evidence securely and confidentially in order to help eliminate corruption across all aspects of government?

“

Has your stance on whistleblowers and internet neutrality changed at all after having seen the good that can be accomplished by organizations such as WikiLeaks?

Would you consider reviving the Fairness Doctrine to counteract the collusion and bias that have clearly infected America's mainstream media?

Will you change anything about the presidential primary process to make it less of an uphill battle for future non-establishment candidates?

1. I noticed that occasionally, ideas or concepts that were discussed on this page were picked up by your team shortly after they were posted here on /r/The_donald. Do you or your team keep an eye on this page for inspiration at all, or was it just coincidental.
2. I graduated college in 2009 and was welcomed by a cold job market, after struggling for year working menial jobs, I eventually gave up working "jobs", channeled my inner Trump, got a real estate license, and started putting all of those funds toward what I wanted to do. Radio. I started my own podcast, that was quickly picked up by a local FM radio station. We reached the front page of reddit with our previous Donald Trump episode, and I was wondering if you, Donald J. Trump, would be willing to come on our little show for a short interview about how a presidential race is somewhat like a sporting event (our show is sports related), and how you developed your drive to be the best at all you do.

1. Today, if a fair election were held, it's clear you'd come out on top. Further down the road, I think it's safe to say the same, but the operative word is "fair". Given the rampant corruption in the DNC and the terrible lack of principles on Clinton's part, how do you plan to defend yourself against tampering with votes?
2. I haven't heard a strong plan for college and healthcare from you. I'm 100% with you but I have a LOT of friends who are teetering between voting independent and voting you, and college and healthcare is THE deciding factor for them. What would you like to tell them?
3. Many, many years ago, there were a few interviews, specifically between you and Oprah I believe, during which you were asked about a political run. You responded you wouldn't like to be president, but if it came down to it, and America reached a point of corruption and debt, you would consider it. Is that what made you decide to run? If not, could you explain the process?
4. What are your plans for the BLM movement's alleged plans with Loretta Lynch to institute martial law under Obama? Do you think there's any legitimacy? If so, how do you plan to combat that?
5. How do you feel about Twitter (censoring Milo; also how do you feel about Milo), Google (censoring you when searching "presidential candidates"), and Facebook (blocking outbound links to wikileaks), among others? Are you for a free internet?
