During your rapid fire Press Q&A this morning, you mentioned the hundreds of days it's been since Hillary's last press conference.
What do you think is/are the reason(s) for Hillary refusing to hold any press conferences for such a huge amount of time?
follow up,
Do you think Hillary will attempt to decrease the number of times she has to debate you like she did to Bernie during the Democratic Primary, or even avoid debating you altogether like she's avoided press conferences altogether this year?
[–]the-realDonaldTrump45[S] 2222 points2223 points2224 points x3 (272 children)
Crooked Hillary Clinton will not do press conferences because she cannot explain her illegally deleted 33,000 emails, or her disaster in Libya, or her role pushing TPP (which she would 100% approve if she got the chance), or her support for a 550% increase in Syrian refugees, etc.

This is something I keep mentioning to my friends and family... people's opinions on your responses aside, you are taking ANY questions and responding to them (such as doing this AMA) on almost a daily basis, while Hilliary wont even give people the chance to ask questions... at all.
I can't wait to vote for you in November!

We’re going to win. We’re going to win so much. We’re going to win at trade, we’re going to win at the border. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.’” Trump said. “And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again.

America has a proud tradition of stealing the most brilliant and talented people from countries around the world for ourselves. Albert Einstein, Wernher von Braun, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Melania Trump... the list goes on and on. In recent years, however, H-1B visa abuse has become rampant.
A program meant bring truly exceptional talent to America has been twisted by globalist politicians and corporations, allowing low-cost, short term labor to steal jobs from everyday Americans and take everything they learn back to their home countries. Will you curb H-1B abuse and make sure visas are going to people who want to become American, stay American, and make America great?
[–]the-realDonaldTrump45[S] 2712 points2713 points2714 points x2 (345 children)
I have put forward a detailed plan for H-1B reform to protect American workers which can viewed on the immigration paper on my website. My plan is the exact opposite of Crooked Hillary Clinton.
[–]MeowntainManUT 98 points99 points100 points  (0 children)
For the lazy
“
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program's lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.

Mr. Trump, as a self-employed young American, my health insurance costs have skyrocketed under Obamacare. Paying close to $300 a month with a $6,000 deductible is a challenge as I try and grow my business. What will you do as President to ensure that myself and others can not only enjoy the security of having health insurance, but also afford to keep it?
[–]the-realDonaldTrump45[S] 2002 points2003 points2004 points  (284 children)
One of the first things I will do is to repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare. I will put forward an amazing new plan, which will include many reforms, such as letting people buy insurance across state lines, increasing choice and competition, and bargaining for better, cheaper drug prices.
[–]TexSC 65 points66 points67 points  (0 children)
“
Congress must act. Our elected representatives in the House and Senate must:
  1. Completely repeal Obamacare. Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.
  2. Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.
  3. Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns under the current tax system. Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions? As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance. We must review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want healthcare coverage can have it.
  4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate. These accounts would become part of the estate of the individual and could be passed on to heirs without fear of any death penalty. These plans should be particularly attractive to young people who are healthy and can afford high-deductible insurance plans. These funds can be used by any member of a family without penalty. The flexibility and security provided by HSAs will be of great benefit to all who participate.
  5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals. Individuals should be able to shop to find the best prices for procedures, exams or any other medical-related procedure.
  6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Nearly every state already offers benefits beyond what is required in the current Medicaid structure. The state governments know their people best and can manage the administration of Medicaid far better without federal overhead. States will have the incentives to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve our precious resources.
  7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.
[–]DJ__TrumpMAGA 51 points52 points53 points  (14 children)
I have a great idea! This commercial could help win the election if made right. We should make a video of dozens of Americans reciting different lines from your RNC speech and then edit it together with clips of Mr. Trump to make a very powerful unifying video. It's a genius idea for an hour long video that the campaign could then cut a few different ads from since Mr. Trump covered everything in that fantastic speech.
It would be awesome to see trump supporters of every walk of life and every part of the country recite his words as their own. Cops, vets, teachers, moms... One after another showing how united this country is behind a man who is fighting for us. And as it continues the cuts speed up into a mighty crescendo. There is a Stanley Cup Final spot that I love that I think could replicate the emotion. https://youtu.be/NYwA9s-hjMs
Maybe a subtle and very quiet soundtrack of Nessun Dorma being played as it is the victory opera and quite beautiful and inspiring. https://youtu.be/rTFUM4Uh_6Y
What would be really great, getting all the big hitters like Rudy, Hannity, Flynn, Christie, Pence, The Trump kids, Carson, and even online press guys like Ann coulter and Milo ect mixed in with the everyday joes. Showing everyone in this country is equal. That's a walk off home run right there.
Also had an idea about the ending but am not totally sure about it. By the end of the video as everyone is reciting their final lines they are all suddenly dressed in black or dark navy suit jacket. White shirt. Red tie. American flag pin. American flags behind them, just like Trump's RNC speech. https://i.redd.it/331tm6tp7pax.png It ends with each person saying I am Donald Trump I AM DONALD TRUMP I am Donald Trump and finally Trump saying and I'm with you!
The idea I like even better is it ends with the each person reciting each line of that incredible ending from last night over and over for dramatic effect :
I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads: “I’M WITH YOU – THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.”
I am your voice.
So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight:
I’m with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and in all of our towns, I make this promise:
We Will Make America Strong Again.
We Will Make America Proud Again.
We Will Make America Safe Again.
And We Will Make America Great Again.
God bless You And Good Night. I love you!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I also have an idea for a Clinton hit ad:
Open with Bill Clinton's speech last night.
“
She had thick blond hair, big glasses, wore no makeup, and she had a sense of strength and self- possession that I found magnetic.
Dark filter falls over the clip
“
After the class I followed her out, intending to introduce myself. I got close enough to touch her back, but I couldn’t do it. Somehow I knew this would not be just another tap on the shoulder, that I might be starting something I couldn’t stop.
Cuts to a jump cut of Juanita Broaddrick (https://youtu.be/pgFha2zOsJk) describing her violent rape at the hands of Bill Clinton, Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky hug, and Paula Jones.
Then a clip of Hillary saying "all rape victims deserve to be believed." (https://i.sli.mg/Ga6N0Z.jpg)
And then the clip of Mr Trump in 1998 calling him a huge embarrassment (https://youtu.be/O50NvGrOx2k)
Next back to a clip of Bill from last night saying Hillary fought for abused children's right. Scramble cut to the interview Hillary gave when she laughed about getting a child rapist off on a mistake by the crime lab and her getting him to pass a polygraph even though she knew he was guilty. (https://youtu.be/Tor00iWUhDQ)
Back to a clip of Bill saying she has fought for African American teenage boys. Cut to a clip of her calling them "Superpredators who need to be brought to heel" quick cut of black men behind bars and newspapers explaining her prison policy led to the incarceration of millions of black men. (https://youtu.be/ALXulk0T8cg)
Back to Bill saying how she worked on Watergate cut to clip of her boss saying he fired her because she was a liar and completely unethical. (http://hardnoxandfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/27-year-old-hillary.jpg)
Back to Bill, talking up Hillarycare cut to the scores of congressmen and experts saying what a jumbled mess the bill was and what a massive waste of money it was. (https://youtu.be/BxFSlbhI8kc)
Back to Bill talking about her charitable contributions across the globe. Then hit them on the Clinton foundation corruption and pay to play scandal. Laureate University and the Saudis being emphasized (https://youtu.be/3KbU-5s7NfA) especially now that we know for a fact the Saudis funded 9/11.
Back to Bill lying about her Secratary of State resume. Cut to clips of Benghazi, Isis, Lybia, Syria, Egypt fighting in he streets. Followed up by a supercut of her and Obama lying about the YouTube video that supposedly caused these protests. (https://youtu.be/nXTTJNiEG4U and https://youtu.be/a3RfxNJBArU and https://youtu.be/QSooz2wXpes and https://youtu.be/hAZ_O07PXkg and https://youtu.be/0BQGMzmzcd0) you can choose to connect this to the arms sales that the state department ran in the region if you want.
And then finishing it all off with her yelling what difference does it make anyway. (https://youtu.be/Ka0_nz53CcM)
Thanks for coming here for this AMA Mr. Trump but more importantly thank you from the bottom of my heart for running. You have saved my faith in this country. Keep fighting. I love you man.

    Mr. Trump,
    Reports estimate that 90% of US media is owned by 6 companies. The US mass media has fused into a gross alliance with big business and big government as this election has shown more than any other. The dishonest media is rigging our democracy with a radical agenda that divides Americans and causes nothing but sensationalism and hatred at the expense of the USA. They are killing our country for ratings and profit, with impunity.
    How will you, as president, tackle this protected class of media elites without stepping on the first amendment rights of average Americans?

    Mr. Trump, thank you for doing this AMA.
    You have promised to support our law enforcement agencies, and to ensure that our great nation is defined by the rule of law once more. In this, I support you 100%. You have mentioned that one of the Clinton legacies that has been most damaging to the black community is the 1994 Crime Bill, which has resulted in an astounding incarceration rate of 1 in 3 for black men, and turned us into the country with the most prisoners in the world.
    In addition to robbing many members of our minority communities of their futures over minor offenses, as of 2012 the average U.S. taxpayer cost per prison inmate was $31,286, with an estimated cost of prison operations at $39 billion annually.
    Do you have any thoughts/plans to reform our expensive and overloaded penal system, which not only fails to rehabilitate criminals, but treats incarceration as a one size fits all solution?
    Thank you for running for our President, and for getting us on track to MAGA!

    Question 1: We firmly believe Hillary will try and steal this election through vote fraud, especially given recent events. What is your campaign doing to ensure that we have a fair election?
    Question 2: What role should NASA play in helping to Make America Great Again?
    Question 3: How do you feel about WikiLeaks? Does it change your opinion on Snowden?
    Question 4: What is your opinion on Net Neutrality?
    Question 5: Has your campaign ever gotten any ideas from the_donald?
    Thank you for taking the time to join us today and we look forward to continuing to Make America Great Again with you.

      Can you elaborate a bit on this? It would be great to have a POTUS that actually pushes NASA and America's private space companies to be great(er) again. China is quickly catching up, and will eventually overtake America in space if we don't act.

        How will you, as president, tackle this protected class of media elites without stepping on the first amendment rights of average Americans? I have been very concerned about media bias and the total dishonesty of the press. I think new media is a great way to get out the truth.
        What do you think is/are the reason(s) for Hillary refusing to hold any press conferences for such a huge amount of time? Crooked Hillary Clinton will not do press conferences because she cannot explain her illegally deleted 33,000 emails, or her disaster in Libya, or her role pushing TPP (which she would 100% approve if she got the chance), or her support for a 550% increase in Syrian refugees, etc.
        What would say to a young college student like myself who is considering a job in law enforcement, but might have been discouraged by the recent attacks on police? We will always stand with and support our nation's amazing police. There is nothing more honorable then serving your community and your country as a law enforcement officer. My administration will protect those who protect us. Thank you to all the incredible police officers in our country tonight.

        Hello Mr. (future) President!

        I have 3 topics I would love to hear your thoughts on! Feel free to answer all or some!

        Space Exploration

        What are your thoughts about America’s future in space exploration and what role will the Trump administration have in it? Assuming budgeting allows it,
        • 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

        Do you have any plans for antitrust laws? In the past, America had laws aimed at preventing a small number of hands from pulling the strings of very large monopolistically competitive corporations. These companies, such as Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, crushed competition and held far too much power. So, then president Roosevelt enacted antitrust laws to break up these monopolies as best he could. Today, we have multiple monopolistically competitive corporations that are far bigger than Standard Oil ever was and hold far more sway over the public psyche than any of the monopolies of the past ever could. The essence of Capitalism is healthy competition so,
        • 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

        This is an issue that is not very well know or discussed by politicians because it doesn’t provide much political capital with voters, but it is nonetheless very important to our national and personal security. Chinese (and others) hackers routinely hack American companies involved in science, research, and engineering and steal technologies developed by them. Our government does little to prevent this. Many companies collect and store personal data from customers and don’t enact proper security protocols to maintain its privacy. Just look at the DNC and Crooked Hilary!
        • 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

        What do you think about /r/The_Donald?
        If you haven't figured it out, this subreddit consists of a lot of young folks and the immaturity clearly shows. What are your thoughts?
        Thank you for doing this AMA. MAGA!

        Mr. Trump,
        As a Police Officer and Iraq War Vet, I want to personally thank you for showing so much incredible support towards law enforcement officers and military personnel. It means a lot!
        My question: If (when) you’re elected to be the POTUS, what will you do about the Fraud, Waste and Abuse in the military? As a 10 year veteran of the armed forces, I can assure you that BILLIONS of tax payer dollars are wasted due to the unnecessary red tape and hoops the military must jump through to accomplish their mission(s). I’d rather see those billions be invested into our nation’s infrastructure! What will you do to ensure this happens?
        Bonus Question – I’ve emailed your campaign and my states Republic party representatives to figure out how to get involved in your campaign to turn my blue state red and I’ve received no response! Is there someone I can reach out to? I want to do everything I can to support you to ensure we can MAGA!
        Bonus Statement – Your children are very articulate and impressive speakers. I hope they consider getting involved in politics. They would represent the US very well. Extremely impressed by them.
        *edit - Hijacking all these upvotes to say THANK YOU to everyone who is showing Police Officers support in these devastating times right now. We LOVE you and we APPRECIATE you for being so wonderful towards us!

        Mr. Trump,
        My husband will leave for his 6th deployment early next year. We recently found out that they will deduct from his paycheck his BAS (Basic Allowance for Subsistence…$368 monthly). He will not get paid combat pay, his pay will be taxed. He will receive Family Separation Pay ($250 monthly).
        This means that my husband’s check will be $108 less monthly while being overseas, then it would be if he were back home, not missing our 15th wedding anniversary, our son’s 11th birthday, and countless other events.
        What are your plans to help rebuild the military so those that volunteer to keep this country safe can deploy knowing that their families aren’t having to worry about money or safety? I’m excited to see you on Friday in CS, CO! Army Wives for Trump! MAGA!
        Edit: First, thanks for the gold, kind stranger! Second: I super appreciate all the messages of people calling me a dependasaurus. You guys are class! This dependasaurus works full time, and my paycheck is what pays for our mortgage on our recently purchased house and pays my own car payment which is in my name. I would love to make it clear that I know how the pay system works, I understand the concept of what BAS is for, I also fully understand the idea of combat zones. And as I have said before, this is the FIRST of six deployments where he will be losing BAS. The point of this is that losing money from your already kinda sad paycheck, while being deployed, is disheartening. Making less money for being away from your family can make a very awesome soldier question why he is even bothering to sacrifice to a country that doesn't care for him. But hey, what would I know...like, just give me that Starr card and Tricare!

        MIGA - Make the Internet Great Again!
        America's internet costs more and does less than in many other countries. We used to be first. Sad.
        We stopped being first when the free market got destroyed for American Internet. Consumers used to have choices. ISPs used to have competition.
        You know the great things that free market capitalism can do. But we need a free market for that to happen. The ISPs have local monopolies or duopolies that have strangled the free market. I have seen two proposals for fixing this:
        1) Separate ISPs from the "last mile". The companies that physically connects you is separate from the companies that provide service. This way, even if you only have one (i.e. cable or fiber) connection, you will still have access to multiple ISPs (providers). This strategy has been used successfully in the alcohol industry. See the three tier system. This would restore competition and the free market.
        2) Regulate ISPs as a utility and force them to wholesale services to competitors. This will also create competition. For examples of wholesale services providing competition see the cellphone industry's MVNOs. Also see the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which required the telcos to allow competitors access to their local lines at regulated wholesale rates.
        We know competition is the answer thanks to Google Fiber. When Google Fiber comes to town suddenly the incumbents can offer faster speeds and lower prices.
        Personally, I prefer option 1 as it gives the government the least power while restoring the free market. There also may be other options I am unaware of.
        American voters are very dissatisfied with the poor service and high cost caused by a lack of competition.
        What is your plan to MIGA?
        [–]SmokehTheBearUSA 793 points794 points795 points  (29 children)
        Dear Mr. Trump,
        Thank you for taking time out of your extremely busy day and life to come here and answer some of our questions! It's very much appreciated, and this transparency you're bringing is one of MANY reasons I've jumped on the TrumpTrain!
        I'm a disabled American, who's been unable to work fulltime in over 6-7 years. I have a very debilitating stomach disease which prevents me from enjoying the basics of life, such as eating or sleeping. After years of going through pharmaceutical products in hopes that something will help(nothing has), I've found the one thing that's been able to truly help this 24/7 pain, cannabis/marijuana.
        My question for you, Mr. President; what are your plans for the legalization of cannabis, whether medicinally or recreationally? Are you going to hinder the current progress made by almost half the country(who currently have either medicinal laws or full recreational laws on the books) https://i.sli.mg/PoTdNp.jpg or will you help propel this new lucrative business opportunity for our country into new heights?
        Take Colorado for example, https://i.sli.mg/U73Stu.jpg in one year since legalizing cannabis, their economy is booming better than ever, there's more money for the school systems, crime rate is down, traffic fatalities are down, the drug cartel's revenue is down, and even opiate deaths are down! https://i.sli.mg/2owZaa.jpg Imagine this type of growth for the entire country!
        Even a new poll out today shows that positive interest in Cannabis Legalization is increasing in not only everyday Americans, but Republicans as well https://i.sli.mg/DEVGYs.png
        And the best part about this wonderful plant which helps me get some semblance of a life? It has never, EVER killed anyone from an overdose, it's literally impossible to die from using this plant, no matter how much you take https://i.sli.mg/2ca8Fr.png
        Will you help push for legalization of cannabis as President?
        I know that on the list of priorities in this country, with ISIS threats and disgustingly horrible attacks happening in the Western world almost everyday, with a crumbling infrastructure, with many Americans not having fulltime jobs(me included), with even more jobs being sent away overseas to other countries, etc etc, I know that legalizing this plant may be on the lowest end of the spectrum of priorities. But for me, and many other sick Americans who rely on this plant, this issue is as important as life itself.
        Thank you so much for your time in doing this AMA for all of us, thank you for taking the time to campaign around the country and giving the silent majority a voice, we all know you never had to do this, so thank you for stepping up when the time was right to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AND SAFE AGAIN!

        Dear Mr. Trump
        Do you think you can shut down the massive H-1B, L-1, B-1 visa scams which have been going on for 25 years and has completely obliterated the US tech worker families (and US families who depend on US tech worker spending)? These visas are mathematically absurd and are bad for both US workers AND immigrant workers.
        The total losses for "just the US tech workers" over the last 25 years is approximately $12 Trillion. That is not a typo. These visas are a "massive worker ponzi scheme" (i.e, replace older workers (i.e., workers over 35 years!) with younger H-1B, L-1, B-1 workers for the last 25 years).
        NOTE: TISA (a small part of TPP) is even worse and it is H-1B, L-1, B-1 on steroids.
        These are the links for your staff (Please talk to Senator Sessions. His (and/or his staffers) math is VERY GOOD and he knows these visas are mathematically absurd and it cannot work and is bad for ALL WORKERS i.e., both US and immigrant workers). A small limited immigration is not a problem, but the H-1B, L-1, B-1 math is absurd.
        The title that the author chose for this book should perhaps convey the information clearly. “Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America's Best & Brightest Workers” https://www.amazon.com/Sold-Out-Billionaires-Bipartisan-Crapweasels/dp/1501115944
        Conservative Wing: https://youtu.be/ndHKRWkQkeE
        Senate testimony of US tech worker on this topic (again this covers only H-1B. L-1, B-1, OPT are much worse) https://youtu.be/YSyRMtT0-sM
        Senate testimony of top labor researchers and immigration lawyers on this topic (again this covers only the mathematical absurdity of the H-1B. The L-1, B-1, OPT visas are much worse) https://youtu.be/7PO00fbH6zY
        The legal key words to understand in the video below are “clear statutory design”. https://youtu.be/nzIu4sWy2Ws
        The entire video streams of the above congressional testimonies are available through C-SPAN and Senate Judiciary website (it might take a while to load these videos). There are also prepared testimonies available in text format along with the videos.
        More info:
        US tech workers are frustrated and leave the industry in droves and/or forced out and end up on long term unemployment. The following US census bureau report might help understand this systemic issue. http://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2014/cb14-130.html

        Mr. Trump,
        Everyday, when I leave my Manhattan office, I stop to have a friendly talk with our front desk/security manager, Larry. Larry is an African-American man in his early 50’s, a lifelong democrat, and of the true “salt of the earth” character that makes this city and, indeed, this country, great.
        For the past few months, Larry has talked almost exclusively about the election and routinely expressed fear and doubt about you as a candidate. Today, however, for the first time, Larry said that he “liked how Trump sounded today” and now thinks "this guy could win”.
        Mr. Trump, if you were to speak to Larry, a working class African-American man in his 50’s, what would you tell him as to why he should vote for you? I promise I'll pass it along to him tomorrow.
        Also, are we having the victory party in front of Trump Tower in November?
        Thanks, and MAGA!

        Dear Mr. Trump,
        My name is William, and I am a Nuclear Engineering student at North Carolina State University. The Democrats have treated nuclear power horribly. Nuclear power struggles to compete in the market because of unfair subsidies placed on solar and wind energy by the Democrats. Many of our plants have been shut down, and many more are expected to close in the next 20 years. The Democrats have opposed the construction of new plants, which would create many high paying jobs in construction and engineering, because they believe nuclear power is not safe, even though there have been no deaths from over 60 years of nuclear power in the United States. I want to be a part of America’s nuclear future, but I am worried about finding a stable job with all these obstacles.
        Do you support American nuclear power? What are your thoughts?

        Mr. Trump, you've been on record saying the "war on drugs" has failed. The "war on drugs" has cost the US hundreds of billons of dollars over decades. Building the wall is one way to stop the crossing of hard drugs into our country, but as some states have shown legalizing marijuana or medical marijuana has lead to tax and tourism revenue. Under a Trump administration, what will the federal stance be on recreational marijuana/medical marijuana and is there any possibility of legalization for much-needed revenue?
        [–]QasaurSWE 370 points371 points372 points  (22 children)

        Mr. Trump,

        You stated on Twitter during the primaries that auditing the Federal Reserve System is something that you deem necessary and is something that you could get behind. You may also be aware of the policy of extensive quantitative easing (money printing) that has been pursued by Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve, and indirectly by the Obama administration as a way to "restart" the economy after the 2008 financial crisis.
        However, we all know that the economy has barely recovered (if at all, just look at the employment and production figures), and there are some economists (who are not affiliated with the Federal Reserve, of course) who believe that the policy of quantitative easing which has inflated the money supply by over 440% since 2008 has made the situation even worse (inflated the bubble) and may be the foundation of an even larger economic crash and depression in the near future. These same economists believe that centrally planning our money supply through the manipulation of interest rates and the money supply will always end like all other times where government has attempted to plan and coordinate a complex market - in total disaster.
        With all this being said, my question to you is the following:
        With the Federal Reserve being a common denominator in major financial and economic crises in the past and present, what is your opinion on the monetary policy currently pursued by the United States and what do you think should be done about the Federal Reserve, if anything at all?
        Thank you!

        Mr. Future President Trump
        I know you will have much to do in the oval office and far greater problems to resolve, but could you please reform our Copyright & Patent laws?
        The duration of copyright makes authors works end up in the ownership of big corporations who only exploit them for profit, the expiry date is ludicrous (time of author’s death + 70 years) and it was never supposed to be that long.
        The first Copyright Act was in 1790, it was only for a term of 14 years, with the right to renew for one additional 14 year term should the copyright holder still be alive. Ever since then big corporations did everything they could to extend the expiry date (biggest example is the CTEA of 1998, amici curiae economists in court against the CTEA said that it was highly unlikely that the economic benefits from copyright extension under the CTEA outweigh the costs) and now they stifle creativity in favor of profit for them as owners.
        The duration of copyright is not compatible with today’s economy and the laws were not made with the Internet in mind.
        As for patents, many companies claim patents for inventions they have not even made yet or ever will. Because of this there are many patent troll companies that hold patents ransom, blocking attempts at making an invention and set back many other legitimate companies from technological progress just so they could earn undeserved profit.
        There might be many more intellectual property laws that do not function as they were originally intended, I wish that these problems could be looked at as right now they only serve big corporations, stagnate technological progress and stifle creativity.

        Mr. Trump,
        I’d like to address the elephant in the room and say that you LIED sir! You told me I would get tired of winning and I’m NOT EVEN CLOSE!
        My question is related to nuclear energy: I’ve watched nearly every rally but I haven’t seen you mention nuclear energy too much. What do you think about aggressively building nuclear plants in this country so that we can be completely energy independent?
        Also, I’d like to say, from the bottom of my heart, that we’re with you. When you said that “we’re a team” during the convention it felt genuine. I hope you know that we’re with you 100%. We ARE a team. We’ve got people at this very moment manually going through the DNC e-mails looking for felonies, we’ve people manually looking through Hillary’s e-mails, we’ve got people analyzing and mapping out all the connections of the Clinton Foundation, we’ve got people posting and sharing your tweets everywhere - everyone is doing their best to get you into the Whitehouse. We’ve got your back Mr. Trump! We’re with you until the end!

        Mr. Trump,
        I am a computer programmer and H1Bs are a near and dear issue to me. I initially started supporting you because you seemed to be the only candidate that actually care about this and understand that there is not a real shortage and that companies are abusing them to replace American workers for cheaper labor (I.E. Disney). You haven't spoken much about H1Bs recently and it was not part of your speech during the RNC. Could you share your plans on how to handle H1Bs and corporations that abuse them?
        Also, not a question but as a father of two young daughters I just wanted to thank you for your strong and reasonable position on immigration from countries compromised by terrorism. You give me hope for a safe America in their future.
        Thanks and lets MAGA!

        Mr. Trump,
        I am an industry computer software engineer. Hillary has spoken of creating a Manhattan project to break encryption. The necessity of encryption technologies is paramount in today's hyper-collaborative world; cybercrime is rising and taxpayers are losing a lot of money in losses from insurance and online credit card purchase frauds. We as a nation have tried to restrict keysizes for encryption developed in the United States and we are still dealing with the clean-up from old machines and software implementations that are still online, performing mission-critical tasks in industry, that are still susceptible to stupid attacks that allow us to exploit the same weak encryption we sponsored to harm international, and more importantly, American-owned businesses. These kinds of downgrade attacks are plentiful here is another, and making encryption globally unsafe will cause a rise in cybercrime by increasing the risk of doing business online both domestically and internationally. The philosophy of compromising this brilliant field of research and security over an argument of essentially, "we don't want the bad guys to have it", imposes a horrible precedent that can open our doors to more national security threats than before.
        What is your stance on encryption?
        Thank you kindly for your time.

        Hello Mr. Trump,
        I am currently an undergraduate college student. In recent years, free speech on college campuses have quickly become an issue. Political discourse is dominated by liberal-minded thinkers and colleges have become increasingly hostile towards right-leaning students like myself. We have seen this madness with the student protests in Mizzou and Yale last year. My concern is that we might be seeing the start of a disturbing political trend. Some of these students will be our future politicians and I’m afraid that our civil liberties will be compromised in the future for the sake of political correctness. My question to you is what can you do as president to help mitigate the growing polarization in our country, especially in environments like college campuses?
        [–]rozz_toxFL 1237 points1238 points1239 points  (26 children)
        Mr. Trump, it's truly an honor.
        What are your thoughts on electronic voting machines and the potential for election fraud? It is well-known that the two major manufacturers of electronic voting machines in the U.S. —Dominion Voting and H.I.G. Capital—are supporters of Hillary Clinton and donate to the Clinton Foundation.
        I believe this represents a conflict of interest unprecedented in U.S. politics, and the only potential threat to your candidacy. Do you have plans to shine light on this issue for the rest of the country?
        [–]WVUmeUSAF 518 points519 points520 points  (53 children)
        Good Evening Mr. Trump,
        Air Force Officer here. The proposal by the Senate Armed Services Committee, and championed by Sen. McCain, would drastically cut Basic Allowance for Housing for our Active Duty troops of all branches.
        Many young Airmen that I have talked to would seriously consider leaving the service if these cuts were made.
        Our troops are relatively under-compensated compared to their civilian counterparts, especially in non-combat roles such as contracting and engineering.
        The politically correct culture now has infiltrated the Armed Services, and frequently acts as ankle weights for those in leadership. It keeps good ideas from being shared and acted upon and penalizes troops for very small missteps.
        Mr. Trump, my question to you is, what is your plan to support and retain the fine folks serving in our military?
        V/R,
        Lt WVUme
        [–]TheRealRobMontyGA 101 points102 points103 points  (3 children)
        To the untrained eye, if often seems that your actions as a candidate are very off-the-cuff and unplanned. However, many here have perceived a very intricate methodology to many of them, with a great deal of them revealing hidden depth as time goes on, or casually subverting the untrained mind into patterns of thinking that lead them to question their long-held beliefs. This “4D Chess”, as we refer to it here, has confounded your opponents throughout your campaign, most recently leading Hillary Clinton to reveal that her emails may have sensitive information in an illegal fashion.
        How much thought do you put into these complex and nuanced words and actions? Do you have to make an effort to plan them, or do they just naturally come to you?
        [–]Eonadari1ARMY 607 points608 points609 points  (13 children)
        Mr. Trump, as a veteran and former employee of the NSA, I find the revelations that the agency focused on American citizens to be appalling. When I served (‘98- ‘02), we were specifically instructed NOT to target Americans and if any were involved in our data collection, we needed to contact the appropriate agency (FBI/Local law) and abort our mission immediately. What are your thoughts on the policies set that "allowed" for Americans to be secretly monitored, and what steps will you take to ensure security without compromising the rights of the American public?
        [–]Sugnoid 221 points222 points223 points  (3 children)
        Thank you for doing this AMA. This has really been an exciting campaign season and I was so excited to see you will be doing an AMA right here on /r/the_donald These are the questions I have, feel free to answer as many or as few as you would like.
        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?
        On a side note, would you consider tweeting the link to the Clinton Cash documentary; after watching this today I believe it is extremely important for all voters to be aware of this.
        Finally, as an Ohioan I strongly believe this state will vote Trump in a landslide. Thank you again for granting us this opportunity; MAGA!

        **Mr. Trump,
        Reports estimate that 90% of US media is owned by 6 companies. The US mass media has fused into a gross alliance with big business and big government as this election has shown more than any other. The dishonest media is rigging our democracy with a radical agenda that divides americans and causes nothing but sensationalism and hatred at the expense of the USA. They are killing our country for ratings and profit, with impunity.
        How will you, as president, tackle this protected class of media elites without stepping on the first amendment rights of average americans?
        PS: I went to your Houston rally, it was burning and I was one of the last ones in but it was worth it to see you speak, thank you so much! MAGA!**

        Hello!
        In your speech at the RNC you referenced a desire to build the railroads of the 21st century. I’d be interested in hearing from you on what types of projects you have in mind when you said this.
        I’d also like to take the opportunity to outline one of my own suggestions.
        To summarize the benefits of the proposal upfront:
        • 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
        In other words, in your final year as president you can:
        • 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
        The project outline:
        • 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
        The purpose of this system is to launch 17TW/s of solar power capacity into GEO.
        • 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.
        To maintain the orbit of our capturing device, we have to provide thrust equal and opposite to whatever is imparted on the arriving payloads. NASA uses 25 kilogram ion thrusters that produce 90 mN of thrust which is the same as requiring 500 second burn time to correct for its own capture. A practical launch sequence for the project is something like this:
        • 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
        Finally, the weight of the wireless transmission capacity is roughly equal to the weight of solar panels + mirrors + structural support, etc., so we need one last doubling cycle to send up the necessary equipment to beam our 17TW of power back down to Earth.
        • 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
        The global average electricity cost is about $0.12/kwh so 17TW/s power generation is equivalent to $18T in revenue.
        Some practical notes:
        • 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
        Therefore the more reasonable cost estimate is something like $1.1T (material) + $1T (GEO capture device + railgun launcher) + $3T (human labor at high salaries) but all of this should be considered revenue neutral due to stimulative effects.
        If you’d like a much more detailed take on this project or other ideas, feel free to contact me via PM.

        Mr. Trump:
        First, I just want to give you my utmost thanks for doing this. As a younger, first time voter, I saw the media go from loving you, during the horrible attack on our country on September 11th, to launching a slanderous campaign of misinformation and hatred towards you. I live in a pretty left state and it disgusts me how many people think Clinton isn't all that bad, or sanders still has a shot.
        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?
        Feel free to answer these questions selectively if you don't want bad net from some of them.
        Thank you for your time!
        EDIT: When you posted a caricature of a anthropomorphic frog with your hair next to an American flag and a trump sign, did you understand the implications?
        [–]mikegus15PA 673 points674 points675 points  (11 children)
        Mr. Trump, I’m very excited to see you as our 45th President of the United States and I truly believe this will be the case. Your views, while strong, are what this country needs to steer us away from an otherwise bleak and ‘politically correct’ future.
        My question to you is: As President, how will you handle Edward Snowden? Do you still truly believe he’s a traitor to the American people or do you see how he’s been able to expose just how totalitarian our federal government treats our Citizens’ privacy?
        Thanks so much for doing this AMA with us today!
        [–]XoadraMAGA 236 points237 points238 points  (1 child)
        Thank you SO much for doing an AMA with the community here. It means SO much to ALL of us! I would be so honored to hear your response to either of my questions as they mean so much to me and for the success of our movement.
        “
        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?
        And the second:
        “
        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 also have a personal question:
        “
        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?
        I also want to thank you for sacrificing yourself for this country. I know it must be tough to endure the vicious and extreme character defamation you've had to endure. It means SO much to ALL of us that you would risk your fortunes and your reputation to Make America Great Again! We love you for it, and thank you again!
        I hope you come to Wisconsin again soon. I'd love to have a chance to meet you!

        The pictures of Americans landing on the moon is one of the most widely knows photos in the world. It shows American strength, power, and achievement.
        Will you give NASA a bigger budget and allow them to to make even greater achievements, like going to Mars or building a moon base?

        Mr. President Trump, sir. His Nimbleness. 2017-2025, His Golden Lionself. Thank you for gracing us with your presence.
        My question is about:

        WAR ON DRUGS

        The war on drugs has been a total disaster, particularly the war on marijuana. Colorado has seen great success with legalization and regulation of recreational weed. History teaches us that prohibition only makes things worse by creating black markets. "Medicinal" weed would only serve to make billions for the pharmaceutical industry/lobbyists. Do you agree or disagree? And how would you tackle this issue on a federal level?
        [–]SANDERS_SHRIVELED_PE 587 points588 points589 points  (10 children)
        Mr. Trump,
        I'm a legal immigrant and a US citizen for the past 10 years. My entire family was so happy to finally see someone talking about the illegal immigration issue seriously on the national stage.
        Obviously the most glaring problem is the nearly open Mexican border, but I want to know if you have plans to deal with the other avenues used by illegal immigrants. For example, nearly 500k people overstayed their temporary visas in 2015. That number is sure to increase massively once the border routes are cut off.
        What are your thoughts on dealing with this issue?
        [–]Tennoji-hs 257 points258 points259 points  (15 children)
        Dear Mr. Trump,
         
        I'm a big fan of yours and want to praise you for many things, but out of respect for other people's questions, I'll get straight to my own:
         
        Edward Snowden leaked US secrets to the world and endangered national security by doing so. However, some people argue this is ethically justifiable by ulterior motives. Sometimes the system is so crooked that you need to do something drastic to straighten it out again. Snowden tried to fix the problems he saw via legal ways first and only resorted to illegal ways when the system failed him. I understand you value loyalty a lot and what Snowden did was very disloyal to the US. But in some way it also seemed very loyal to the American people.
         
        Do you believe what Snowden did can ever be justified, for instance if he had opened the people's eyes to the corruption running rampant in the Democratic Party?
        How would you treat him if he were to return to the US, legaly of course, under your presidency?
        Would you agree that what Hillary Clinton did with her e-mails was in many ways worse, since her motives were purely egoistic?
         
        Kind regards and good luck in all your future endeavours,
        Tennoji

        Mr Trump,
        I am a legal immigrant who is currently awaiting his green card. I came here through the L then later E visa. I refused to use the H system (though it would have been cheaper and easier) as I see it as morally bankrupt and severely harmful to both the economy and the job market of America.
        Do you intend to overhaul the H1 system and what will you do to the current biased visa system to encourage more immigration from developed nation to bring in educated workers who intend to commit to America?
        Also, on a completely non rational point, as a Scottish American, I hope your YOU smash it.
        Cheers

        Hello Mr. Trump. Over the past few years, the future of space exploration has come into question with the cancellation of the Space Shuttle, the rise of new aerospace companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, and the race to Mars. Additionally, NASA and its latest project, the Space Launch System, have been criticized as inefficient and wasteful because the program is costing billions while being delayed for years.
        What are your thoughts on the current state of the private space industry? What are your plans as president for NASA, especially in regard to the question of its current role in space exploration?
        [–]Moon__StarESP 415 points416 points417 points  (7 children)
        President Trump, thank you for doing this AMA. My question for you is regarding your stance on NASA and space exploration in general. I know Newt Gingrich feels strongly about this topic, and I hope you may have spoken about it because the scientific revolution involved in the exploration of space in the past century are perceived as one of those details that made America Great in the first place. As president, would you favor increasing the budget for NASA? Would you help and collaborate with private companies such as Spacex to achieve their goals, such as colonizing Mars in this case?
        [–]earlymusicaficionado 292 points293 points294 points  (9 children)
        Mr. Trump,
        I am a family physician. Many physicians are becoming increasingly frustrated as we watch government regulations and mandates invade the physician-patient relationship, to the detriment of healthcare. Insurance and hospital corporations have been just as damaging for the same reasons, chasing out the traditionally independent physician, and eroding physician autonomy. How will you return control of medicine in the United States back to the physicians, so that we can spend more time treating our patients, and less time being mired in red tape?
        [–]nowaygregTX 477 points478 points479 points  (8 children)
        Mr. Trump,
        I was born in the United States, have no criminal background whatsoever, and have no ties to any terrorist organizations. However, the US government still collects my texts, emails, call logs, etc. through the NSA. Do you believe this information helps fight terrorism? Why or why not? Do you believe this violates my Fourth Amendment right against warrantless searches of my property?
        Thanks and MAGA!

          First of all, I want to thank you for being such an energizing candidate. You have single handedly changed the right wing political field in a way nobody has since Ronald Reagan. You are the first candidate i've had the opportunity of voting for and I couldn't be more happy. Here are my questions:
          “
          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?
          [–]SkittleblendUSA 286 points287 points288 points  (2 children)
          How can we manage to get the wall built to secure our country?
          Most of the land along the Mexican border is owned by private citizens. When the fence approved by President Bush in 2006 was built, the federal government tried using the power of eminent domain to get a hold of border-land, but ended up suing hundreds of families after they refused to sign away their rights to the land. How will we overcome this obstacle?
          Another problem: A 1970 treaty prohibits building anything that may cause obstruction of normal flow of the Rio Grande. Because of this and other reasons, the border fence was built considerably inland, leaving American land and citizens south of the border - unsafe. In some places, treaty obligations and river flood zones would require the wall to be built well into the US.
          These problems face our border-wall plan. How can we overcome them?

          Hello Mr. Trump. I'm 29 years old, registered Libertarian and have voted that way my entire life. I feel closely aligned with what the party stands for, and am passionate about it. However, this election I am starting to think that, while I think a Libertarian candidate is what's best for America long term, that you may be what America needs right now. I also feel like you care about this country so, so much, and you want what's best for it. This is a difficult decision for me, because on the issues I seem to either firmly believe or strongly disagree with what you have to say. I think you may be the best possible candidate for our economy, but I do fear some of your international policies,
          I know that I am not the only 3rd party voter that feels this way. So my question to you is, what do you say to people like me who are on the fence about voting 3rd party(Johnson/Stein) or for you?
          Thank you very much for doing this AMA.
          [–]fitzrays 146 points147 points148 points  (5 children)
          Mr. Trump, you have run an exceptional campaign that has highlighted the corruption of "Establishment Politics" during the primary process. This was further exemplified this week by wikileaks publishing emails that highlight the internal corruption at the DNC (possibly leaked by a disgruntled DNC staffer).
          Sadly, we all know this corruption reaches much, MUCH deeper within the government itself and that many government workers are afraid to speak out since they risk severe repercussions.

          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?

          Mr. Trump,
          As a manual laborer I have seen repeated mass layoffs/terminations of staff that were born here, only for the jobs to be filled with the cheapest immigrants management can find.
          My question to you as someone who's seen our blue collar jobs go from middle class Americans to our factories going overseas and the ones remaining getting filled with the cheapest labor they can find.
          What do you see as the future of blue collar work in America?
          [–]jenkemhuffer 610 points611 points612 points  (19 children)
          Will you and the RNC prepare a plan to prevent and counter any electoral fraud / vote rigging that is committed by the Crooked Hillary camp?
          Knowing how corrupt Clinton is, and how this extends to almost everyone who associates with her, in combination with the huge amounts of funding behind her from her shady owners, I believe this to be a real threat and it would be the only scenario in which you would lose the election to her.

          As president what will you do about the blatant censorship from powerhouses like google who "coincidentally" remove negative things from search suggestions for the candidate (Hillary) that they support? And pushes negative articles about candidates they don't like?
          google is almost monopolistic in how much power it has and can sway many people intentionally on any subject. We have proof as google's Eric Schmidt pumps money into startups that are helping Hillary.

          2.)What is your opinion on term limits for congress?
          3.)Will we be able to pay, let's say, $75 to have our name etched onto the wall to help cover the costs?
          Edit: 4) What are your thoughts on nuclear power?

          Mr. Trump,
          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.
          Thank you for your time Mr. Trump.
          Edit: a phone interview or Skype interview would be more than acceptable. We would also fly to wherever is convenient for you if need be.
          Edit edit: Lots of people asked to link the show.
          Didn't want to post link, didn't want to look like I was link spamming. The sport of a campaign is our last trump episode!

          Hello Mr. Trump,
          Have you ever visited /r/the_donald or other pro-trump online communities for ideas? We have seen tweets that contain similar wording to a comment that was made here or elsewhere hours before the Tweet was sent out. We have also seen memes and the "Can't Stump The Trump" video that you have Tweeted before. So my last question is do you think your social media presence has impacted your popularity amongst young voters.

          Good morning Mr. President,
          My question involves legal immigration to the USA. I married my wife in November 2014. I am a natural-born US citizen, and she is from and was living in South Asia at the time of our wedding. After we were married, I worked on getting all the information needed to the appropriate offices (USCIS), and it took TWO YEARS for her to finally get the chance to come be with me here in the USA.
          There were no issues with my application, the problem was the bureaucracy. After a document was sent to the Department of State, or DHS, they would acknowledge receipt, and then it would be six months or longer until any further action was taken with no support or explanation of what the cause of the delays were. This process grows longer and longer for immigrants to come to the USA lawfully, while it seems illegal immigrants are given instant access to the country, and provided with government programs for which legal immigrants are unable to obtain, e.g. medicare or food- stamps. When you are elected, what will you do to improve the legal immigration process to make sure that immigrants who are qualified to enter the country are able to come and reunite with their spouse or family without unduly long delays? Also, what will you do to make the prospect of coming illegally less appealing to potential illegal aliens, or once they’re here, how can you ensure once they are sent back they do not return?
          Thank you Mr. President,
          My wife and I are rooting for you, and you had my vote since the Arizona primary. MAGA

            Mr. Trump,
            Thank you for fighting the good fight. Your historic presidential run has been an inspiration to me. I am a mid-thirties middle class American whose goal in life is to provide for his family so that my children can grow up in a better place than I did. Working in the IT industry, one of the biggest challenges to that goal is H1-B visa abuse. Your tough stance on this solidifies my vote.
            However, another big threat I see is the outsourcing/offshoring of back office jobs to other countries. I’m not just talking about IT support and call centers. Recently, I’ve seen entire accounting and even HR departments being sent overseas for no other reason than to provide more value to an already healthy stock price. Do you have anything in your platform to address back office offshoring?

            Mr. Trump,
            My family legally immigrated to this country and we are all voting for you. We think that immigration is a very important issue and we want everyone coming in to follow the rules just like we did. However, the legal immigration system is currently a mess and encourages illegal immigration. What is your plan to reform the legal immigration system?
            [–]Birdorcage1USA 305 points306 points307 points  (2 children)
            Mr Trump, never did I think we would have a major candidate running for president who was opposed to globalist practices such as NAFTA, TPP, and open borders. Could you expand upon when you first began to be skeptical of these ideas, and what lead you to being pro-American sovereignty? Would a Trump Administration place the United States Constitution above any international agreement, including the UN Charter?

            Hello Mr. Trump,
            Where do you like to get your news and information from?
            I was wondering, since you think most of the mainstream media is biased and incompetent, if you follow any independent news sources, like Breitbart or Regated, that have stepped up to cover your campaign more accurately?

            My name is Emily Banach and this will be the first time I will give my vote to this country’s office and help elect the 45th President of these United States. You and your policies are plainly what this country has been looking for, for the past 8 years but never had an embodiment of our combined voices to speak. There is no doubt in my mind that you will win, and that you will win “Big League.”
            As I understand, you will have many issues to discuss and many to rectify and as the President you will strive to live up to what you promised. However, you may find that in between these moments people will ask you for your input or your favor. Today, I am one of those people. You will have a lot of power as the President. One of them will be to pardon someone of their crime.
            You are a great father, your children seem to absolutely adore you and are proud of all you achieved. As a father, you must know what value it holds to protect your children. I hope then, that you will understand what I’m asking of you.
            My father’s name is David Banach and about 10 years ago he was tried in court for shining a laser at helicopter. I was about 8 years old. A few days prior, someone had done the same at an airport, but escaped. The police, assuming my father was the culprit of both crimes, came to my home. What they didn’t understand at the time, was that it wasn’t my father at all who shined the laser that night, it was me. Although he tried to explain this, our family was hushed by the outcry of the media and they called my father terrible names for trying to “pin the blame on me.”
            I’m not sure of everything that transpired after that, my parents aren’t fond of talking about that time although we’ve grown stronger as a family through it. All I am asking is that you look into this particular event and help make it right again. I know my father would have voted for you if he had the ability.
            Thank you for coming to this subreddit today,
            —Emily
            My father has no idea that I've written this and he's not a man to ask for help, that being said, I do believe in trying.
            (P.S. Thank you for not choosing Chris Christie as your VP Pick)**

            Thank you for spending the time to answer our questions tonight.
            You have been vocal about your desire to potentially audit the Federal Reserve. Do you see this as a high priority for your first few years in office? To that end, do you have any specific steps in mind at this stage of your campaign? As President Trump, will you consider enlisting the help of former Congressman Ron Paul in an advisory role to accomplish this?
            Thank you for running and thank you for putting America first. Make America great again.

            Hello Donald, my question concerns NASA. I feel NASA is an important program to keep the United States competitive with the rest of the world. They are under constant fear of being defunded, and we are using the Russians for rides to ISS. Can you clarify your stance on NASA?

            Thank you Mr. President for doing this AMA!!!!
            I know you are extremely busy, but please answer my question if you can, I do not care how long it takes for a response!

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

            There is a massive doctor shortage in the US. Nearly 50% of private practitioners have closed their doors since Obamacare was enacted. Because of the ever increasing costs and regulations, doctors went from making ~ 75 cents on the dollar to now ~ 15 cents. They also have every decision second-guessed by bureaucrats and insurance agents who never went to medical school.
            By 2025, it is estimated the US will lose over 100,000 doctors. Every doctor I speak to advises potential medical students NOT to go into medicine! Applications to medical schools have decreased drastically over past 3 years. A lot of potential doctors do not see the personal cost/benefit of practicing under socialized medicine. That is why most of the qualified students end up going to law school. Less than 50% of recent Mayo Medical School graduates plan on practicing medicine!

            Both Bernie supporters and Trump voters discovered how corrupt our two-party system is. It took a billionaire TV star and strategic mastermind to defeat the GOP game while Bernie succumbed to the carrot and stick of the DNC and Crooked Hillary. When you are President, what will you do to reform the crony U.S. political system so that real Americans will have a chance to serve as, and vote for, elected officials who actually care about our country?

            Mr. Trump I thank you for taking the time to visit the most enthusiastic and motivated place on internet when it comes to making you the next President.
            My Question is one that gets left behind in the politics of today. IF WHEN you become the next President what are your plans on improving the funding to NASA and revitalizing our space program?
            Thank you! -Mike

            Hi Mr. President! It’s an honor to have you here! I just have a couple of questions.
            *How does it feel to go from being a fringe candidate on a stage with 16 other people to being the man single-handedly reinventing the GOP?
            *What policy can we expect concerning NASA? Will you help us be first not only in trade but in scientific progress too?
            *With rumors of voter fraud surrounding the Democratic primaries, how can we make sure the general election stays fair?
            Thank you so much in advance, and best of luck beating Crooked Hillary!

              I am an ex-Bernie supporter who switched over to support you after the rioters in Chicago denied you your right to free speech. As you may know, many redditors are Sanders supporters disappointed by Crooked Hillary. So, what do Bernie supporters gain from Donald Trump's presidency?
              Also, what's the best piece of advice for someone who wants to become as successful as you?

              Hello future President Trump! This question is about both the public and private sectors of the space industry.
              First, what are your thoughts on NASA and the budget of NASA? Do you believe that with better management NASA could accomplish more with its 19+ billion budget, or do you have something else in mind about NASA.
              Secondly, what are your thoughts on the private sector of the space industry(SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, Virgin, etc.)? Many have said that the future of space is not in government agencies but in corporations? Do you believe so and how would you encourage the growth of the private space industry as President?
              Thanks! November can not come soon enough!

              Hello Mr. Trump,
              In the past 7 months, we've had mutliple major terrorist attacks occur in the US. All of these attacks resulted in the deaths of many US citizens, and have instilled fear into the American people. We all know who is causing these attacks, and what their motives are, but the media chooses to ignore the truth in order to further push their globalist agenda. We have Obama in power, cabinet members, so many people, yet no one wants to stand up and say who is responsible for these chaos except you, and your supporters. We know it is radical Islamic terrorism, but the media insists that they can't "untangle the motives" of the terrorist. What is keeping the people that are supposed to keep us safe from recognizing what is causing this chaos? Why can't they be honest? Is it simply political correctness at play or is it something more?
              [–]CitationDependentCAN 73 points74 points75 points  (1 child)
              Mr. Trump,
              Question highlighted below.
              You gave another epic speech at the RNC, but I have reservations with "the law and order candidate".
              That’s a given seeing as you are running against a criminal, but could you clarify? For example, during Hillary’s last failure in the White House, she pushed the “Tough on Crime” bill. She called her constituents “super predators” and the impact of the bill lead to cases like Ted Cruz prosecuted to the Supreme Court where a man stole a calculator and was sentenced to 16 years. It lead to fatherless children, some nasty policing practices, harsh sentencing for the poor and diverse, and high rates of recidivism: Hillary’s “prison to prison pipeline". This isn’t law and order, but apparently, that’s what it means to Hillary - as long as she isn’t the suspect.
              I understand that Obama has made some terrible leadership decisions in regards to prosecuting certain criminals, and he was just as heartless as the Clintons when it came to prosecuting marijuana. To pander to Bernie supporters, Hillary will apparently “look into” decriminalizing/legalizing marijuana. Being that it had been an issue during their first stay in the White House, while she was a senator, and Head of State, suggests it takes Hillary quite a while to look into it, long enough for 15,000,000 arrests for marijuana to take place.
              As the law and order candidate, what will you do to address America having the world’s highest incarceration rate (apart from Seychelles, population < 90k), thanks, in part, to Hillary Clinton?
              Thank you.

              Mr. Trump,
              I propose to you, during your presidency, a monthly get together where 6 to 8 citizens of this great nation are chosen via random lottery and are invited to voice their concerns over dinner at the White House. This will be a great way for you to not only keep in touch with the American people, but also keep citizens active and excited about what is happening in their government. It can be likened to a more intimate fireside chat where you can get invaluable feedback from the people you will hopefully be representing come 2017. After seeing so much special treatment towards celebrities and other high profile guests during the current administration, it would be outstanding to see some average, hardworking Americans invited to the White House. The White House is the peoples house. It is a symbol of our country, and perhaps one of the most influential buildings in human history. I hope that you will be our tenant come this January, as we are drawing up eviction papers for the current tenants right now.
              Thank you Mr. Trump for your time,
              A Concerned Citizen.

              Hello Mr. Trump, as you may know there are a lot of young Bernie Sanders supporters out there who have become disillusioned by both the conduct of the DNC and by the policy positions of Secretary Clinton (many of these Bernie Sanders frequent this site). What is the most important thing you would like to convey about yourself and your policy positions to the people who voted for Bernie in the primary but are now considering either staying home or voting third party in November?

              Mr. Trump, it is an INCREDIBLE honor to have you answering questions tonight! I've supported you even when there were 17 candidates running!
              I'd like to ask a simple question if I may. Do you think the American Government needs to be more transparent with it's people? I know you believe that we need to stay unpredictable to take out the bad guys (ISIS,) but sometimes I feel that our government hides FAR too much from us.
              In light of the recent email leak showing how corrupt the DNC is, do you think you would try and expose the corruption in our country and create a more open government for our people?

              Hello Mr. Trump! I am a big fan from across the globe, Finland! For quite some time I have seen tremendous violence and other attacks being committed by unintegrated migrants that have arrived to Europe in great and ever increasing numbers. And it seems that the entire leadership of Europe had gone insane, they ignore and excuse these terrible acts! And then they ask for even more migrants, despite the previous ones being a huge burden!
              The biggest and one of the only political forces calling this out is you, Mr. Trump. And the media is so dishonest, they hate you for saying the truth so they must try to stop you, but they must also lie because you have reasonable policies! And this isn’t only happening in the US, the media is dishonest everywhere, in Europe especially!
              My question is, if (or when) you become the president of the USA, will you use your political power to try to be a positive influence for us Europeans as well? If so, how do you plan to help?

              In a 1988 interview with Oprah Winfrey, you said you wouldn't run for president unless "Things got so bad, I could never rule it out completely." My question to you is, what was that seminal moment? The exact moment when you could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch America continue to go down the tubes.

              Mr. Trump,
              As a student at the University of Michigan, I was sadly unsurprised when students called the police after seeing chalk slogans in your support on campus. Such reactions are the pathetic results of a college culture now seen across the U.S. in which students are encouraged to feel safe rather than challenged and truly educated.
              Do you believe that we should work to eliminate this new trend? If so, how and why?

              Good evening Mr. Trump, I am a big fan of yours from across the pond.
              Unlike Barack Obama and Crooked Hillary Clinton, who tried to scare the British people with obvious lies and fear-mongering, you came out in support of Brexit - a movement which in many ways echoes the sentiment of your presedential campaign. So..
              1 - If you are elected president, will you strenghen the 'special relationship' between Britain and the USA which has been severely undermined under Obama?
              2 - Does the Brexit vote give you a sense of momentum that this is a movement across the western world away from globalism and back to the basic principles of sovereignty and fair trade?

              How confident are you that Hillary will actually debate you? I think it would be a glorious thing to behold, but she's not stupid and I can't see any benefit for her. I can easily see her finding excuses to refuse a debate. (Such as "Until Trump apologizes for xyz, it's obvious we can't discuss things like civil adults." etc.) What do you think?

              QUESTION: What steps can be done to combat the national debt, approaching $20 trillion, and leave a visible impact? A balanced budget, cutting fraud, reducing abuse will help lead to shrinking it over time, but realistically, that would take decades. What else can be done?

              Mr. Trump, I first want to thank you for doing this AMA, and thank you for everything you have done for our country already. You're my inspiration, I've read your book, "The Art of the Deal" and it is fantastic.
              So to my question. As small business owner who manufactures everything in the USA, as well as the son of 2 wonderful small business owners themselves, What is your plan with IRS audits and shakedowns?
              My parents just went through a 3 year shakedown from the IRS which at the end the IRS found absolutely nothing. Though my parents didn't have to pay any fines or anything, all of the accounting and lawyer costs were so massive that they almost made my parents' business go under. It's horrible that the government themselves came and almost destroyed my parents business even when they did nothing wrong.
              Any comments on this subject would be great!
              Thank you Mr. Trump

                Mr. Trump,
                Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA. I'll be upfront and say that I am not a supporter of yours. That being said, I am very open to reasonable political discourse.
                While I consider myself lucky to have work and a high level of education, I am faced with a number of issues not generally discussed.
                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?
                Thank you!

                Our political process is broken. The Democrats cheated Bernie. The Republicans played many dirty tricks against you. Many cooked politicians have easy elections in safe districts with no competition. Americans feel trapped by our two party system. Campaign donations enslave politicians.

                Mr. President,
                First, we are thankful for you taking the time to bless us with this opportunity. For many of us, this is the only place we can openly express and discuss our support for you without fear.
                Many of your supporters are the silent majority. We are threatened with violence as well as destruction/vandalism of our home and vehicles if we publicly express our support. My husband and I both wanted to attend a rally but it was made clear that we could not do so safely, especially not with our 2 year old without fear. While many of the rioters at these events have been known to be paid, many others are not. They have demonstrated violence at the mere idea of you being a candidate. My husband and I are both veterans and discuss history and politics a bit together and one thing we fear are these same people after you are elected.
                My question is, do you also worry about riots and violence from these same extremists immediately after you are elected and do you have a plan of attack for it if so?
                Signed, Anxiously Awaiting You To MAGA.

                Unlike many at the impressive age of 70, you have immensely high energy that is just incredible to witness for all of us.
                Today in the morning I saw your news conference in Doral, Florida and just a couple of hours later you're at a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania with no visible sign of fatigue whatsoever.
                Not to mention your healthy appearance at an age where many look frail and weak. (your hair is immaculate too)
                What is your secret to this high energy superiority of yours? If I am even half as energized as you when I reach your age, I'll be more than happy.

                1) How do you plan on practicing for the debates with Crooked Hillary? (Do you even need to considering you can't stump the Trump)
                2) As a father of five children myself, and relatively (to the average American) of some means (I'm a project manager turned division of a company manager) how the hell dId you raise your children to be that amazing?

                Third Party candidates are tipped to have a much larger role in this election, with Governor Johnson on the edge of getting into the Presidential Debates, the first third party since Perot.
                What are your thoughts on the role candidates like Governor Johnson will play in this election? Do you believe they will play a large role?

                Donald, thanks for doing this AMA.
                You have tapped into the feeling of many Americans that this country isn’t as great as it once was, and has the potential to be much, much greater. One of the reasons this feeling is so prevalent is because we really don’t do anything awe-inspiring anymore. I’m only 18, and when I was much younger I was fascinated with space exploration, science, and technology in general. I learned all about NASA, the Apollo missions, and the vastness of the Universe above our heads. Most of all, I looked forward to the new advances and discoveries that humanity would achieve in my lifetime. I felt lucky to be a part of the country that had led those discoveries in the past, and would lead in the future.
                Now that I’m older and have a better understanding of this country’s attitude towards space exploration, I’m incredibly disappointed at the spiritlessness of our leaders. They’re even worse than All Talk, No Action. They aren’t even talking about the future that space holds. They probably don’t even think about it. Investing in NASA would be a great move financially, and beginning a new era of space exploration would boost the morale of this country, especially the younger generations, a TREMENDOUS amount. And.... while it may be a long, long ways off, eventually humanity WILL need to leave this planet. It’s better that we start preparing sooner rather than later.
                So, with that in mind, Donald, what will you do to rekindle the awe of exploration that gripped our country back when JFK (one of the last good Democrats) announced that our great country would land a man on the moon?
                How much would you expand the budget of NASA? Are there any space-related or technology-related projects that a Trump administration would push?
                I firmly believe that action on these issues is crucial to Make America Great Again.

                Hi Mr. Trump,
                Your activity on social media has been essential in influencing millions of voters who otherwise may not have participated in this year's presidential election. Do you plan on continuing this activity as president, and do you foresee social media as a viable platform for "official" correspondence with the American people?
                P.S. - Thank you for your tireless efforts to Make America Great Again. Regardless of this election's outcome, you have forever reshaped the landscape of American politics for decades to come.

                Mr. Trump, thank you very much for taking the time to do this AMA with us.
                My question to you is in what ways will border states like Arizona, Texas, and California begin to see economic improvements after the wall is built? Having lived in a border state for most of my life so far, it's hard to picture what they would be like with a REAL protected border.

                Soon to be elected President Donald J. Trump, it is a truly an honor sir. I have been with you since day 1 and you have inspired me and millions of others to take back our country. It is clear that most Americans now believe that the system is rigged for the political elite. As President, what do you think are the best ways to fix the special interests and foreign control over our government? Also, what is your message to Independent voters on the fence and Bernie supporters who are hurting and eager for campaign finance reform? Thank you!

                    Are there any lessons or major events that influenced your current campaign from when you were looking to be the nominee of the Reform party?
                    Also, my Dad is an 80 year old veteran that lives in Oakland. He wears his Make America Great Again hat everywhere he goes. He tells me more often than not that he met the nicest people that all have positive things to say about his hat and your candidacy. November is going to be a landslide and the Trump Train has no brakes. My Dad and I can't wait for you to come back to the Bay Area for another rally. Thank you, Mr. President!

                    Donald,
                    It seems like during the campaign you have used the strategy of creating pejorative nicknames for your rivals and heavily promoting them. Is this something you have used in business and do you plan on continuing to employ it if you are elected and interact with foreign leaders? Would you recommend other politicians to employ the same tactic?

                    President Trump, the great people of Colorado have earned a huge growth in there economy and a lower crime rate because of legalization of marijuana. Would you consider legalizing marijuana at the federal level, to use that revenue for improving inner city schools, infrastructure, and etc?

                    Mr Trump, you’re a builder experienced with reviving troubled government projects, why are infrastructure projects in America so universally plagued with cost over-runs and delays? What can be done from the federal level to improve the rate of on-time and on-budget completion?

                    What was the final straw, Mr. Trump? What was the final weight that tipped the scales towards your running for president? If I'm not mistaken, you've been considering it in some form or other for quite a few years now.
                    [–]Darkwing_Shucks 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
                    President Trump,
                    One of the most glaring examples of Obama not being the person he said he was is his excessive and aggressive prosecution of whistle blowers in this country. My question is what are your thoughts on the laws protecting those who expose the corruption and immorality of our government from within? Even if sometimes they will be detrimental to those who work under you.
                    Another question I have is we are beginning to structure the future for what we are now calling our Digital Identity. What are your thoughts for the future of what might become a massive part of oneself, I believe we need to fully wrap it in the clothes of freedom in order to protect ourselves from whatever oppression the future brings.
                    In addition I agree with you about bolstering our intelligence overseas but I worry about what that means for American's right to privacy. Should an American living inside our country's borders have the peace of mind to know the government is not looking at what we are doing online unless they have been issued a warrant?

                    Hello Mr. Trump, I have two questions for you.
                    First, do you believe Scott Adams is accurate about your campaign strategy? He thinks that the seeming "gaffs" you make are intentional as to generate free media coverage, saying things that can easily be taken out of context and then corrected.
                    Second of all, one thing that I feel has been taken out of context is your statement that we need to "Go after" terrorist families. Many have taken that to mean killing them, wheres I take it to mean you would prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law (And not lose track of them like the FBI did for Orlando shooter’s wife). Would you clarify what you meant here? I would like to have something to reference when correcting people about what you mean.
                    I pray that you win this November so you can Make America Great Again!

                    Hi Mr Trump, I am a gay supporter that is 15. I have a very simple question.
                    What will you do to help low income families like mine?
                    My grandfather died almost a year ago and now it's just me and my grandmother (who severd in the Air Force) and we're broke by the end of every month, if not 2 weeks prior. I agree that welfare needs to be limited in some cases, but how will that work in families of a retired elder (who is 75 years old) and a child who can not yet work.

                      Mr.Trump,
                      First I would like to thank you for taking the time to come visit our DomReddit and answer some of our questions. As you have stated in many different interviews and speeches, you are interested in the power of the states against the Federal Government. Whether it is gay rights, Common Core, or even gun laws, you have consistently stated that you believe the individual States should be able to decide what they want. My question is how exactly will the Trump administration move such powers from our overpowered Federal Government back to the individual State?
                      Thank you for your time.

                      You correctly predicted Britain's vote to leave the European Union. What are your thoughts on the "Brexit aftermath" so far and the new prime minister, Theresa May? How do you think British and American relations will be under your leadership?

                      Hey Mr. Trump,
                      I'm a 23-year old transgender woman from small town NH. I remember you dropped by the red arrow diner back when NH was still holding its primary and it made all the local papers.
                      For a long time now the Republican party has been known for its outright hostility towards most lgbt folks, but I've also noticed you've been largely silent on the subject. Could you take a moment to clarify your position on already existing legislation that's been passed this year, as well as what (if any) plans you have to keep transgender Americans like myself safe if you're elected president?
                      Thanks.

                      Mr. Trump, I know that you have met (and presumably were friends with) Crooked Hillary Clinton in the past so my question is: How is Crooked Hillary really like when cameras are not around? Is she really the way she is described in the book "Crisis of Character"?

                      Mr. Trump,
                      I'd like to first of all offer my sincere gratitude for sacrificing time away from your successful businesses and beautiful family in order to help Make America Great Again. You are a great man and it's a shame that the corrupt media has to paint you to be such a bad guy.
                      My question is: Taking into account the true extent of corruption and lies that Hilary is utilizing to further her campaign, the threat of voting fraud during the general election this November is a real concern that people have been discussing in this subreddit recently. Are you worried about this, and what can we do as Americans to help mitigate it?
                      Thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions for us today. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

                      Thank you so much for doing this AMA, Mr. President! I have three questions I would like to ask you:
                      1) When did you first settle on using President Reagan's 1980 campaign slogan "Make America Great Again"? Long before you announced you were running or leading up to the announcement? An absolutely brilliant choice given the immense number of similarities you both share. Button for reference http://i.imgur.com/5hs2skW.jpg
                      2) Do you think Ivanka Trump will ever run for president? After her speech at the RNC, I would love to see her become the first female president of this amazing country!
                      3) Will you ever get tired of winning?

                      Mr Trump, congratulations and thank you for all that you inspire. Space Exploration has been making tremendous strides providing hope and knowledge to the international community. NASA eliminating their shuttle program was a tough but necessary decision to avoid destroying their current budget. Their honesty to face when they were wrong is exactly how we expect agencies to operate. You are clearly the man who will be able to clean up waste, fraud, and abuse in our country but how do you plan on rewarding the agencies who remain responsible and efficient through difficult times? Specifically those based in science and discovery.
                      [–]nyelianCA 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
                      There is no reason for us to have a socialized space program. The future of space exploration will be a bright one if we end subsidies for companies like Boeing and SpaceX and let them complete across atmospheric and orbital boundaries.

                      Chris Hadfield (famous Canadian astronaut) said the shuttle program was garbage and Russia's program is way safer and more efficient. He goes to great length to explain why the Russian space shuttle Soyuz is better. Also note, pretty much the entire world helps Russia/USA with the shuttles and the shuttle technologies, so even though it is primarily a Russian shuttle, the best minds from all over the planet have contributed to it and it's numerous successes. You can read his book to learn all about it!

                        Dear Mr. Trump,
                        I like your campaign and find your non-PC tone refreshing.
                        You've stated that you are pro 2nd Amendment, but I have yet to hear strong views on the 1st and ESPECIALLY THE 4th Amendment from you.
                        Mass surveillance is the staple of police states. Our DNI (Clapper) committed perjury in congress and got away with it. I personally consider someone like Snowden a hero that informed us of our government spying illegally on law abiding citizens... just like Assange is informing us now of the nefarious activities of the DNC and Hillary.
                        With the Obama presidency we were promised transparency and instead received an administration that prosecuted more whistle-blowers than all other administrations combined while expanding the W Bush mass surveillance programs.
                        Would a Trump presidency fight for the rights of law abiding Americans' privacy or would it be pro Big Brother?

Edward Snowden was wrong to endanger American lives, but he did expose agencies that were being kept from the public. We've all seen how Julian Assange is exposing the Crooked Democratic Party -- his reward is exile. We need whistleblowers to expose corruption.

                        Will you do anything to protect whistleblowers?

                        How should we tackle the war on drugs? Undoubtedly, it's been pointless and is a huge waste of money and leads to many nonviolent people in prison. Do you believe we should end it?

                        Good question! I suppose I am also curious about how Trump feels about medical and recreational Marijuana/weed

                        Good evening Mr. Trump! You have said how the election process is rigged and corrupt and everyone here agrees with you, what I want to know is are you planning on making a reform to the election process? Thank you.

                        This right here! Every time, I mean every time you speak I am watching. I am waiting for you to bust out with election reform. This is the single biggest issue and obstacle to us electing losers!
                        Take on this issue! It's going to be huge!

                          Mr. Trump,
                          You often talk about bad deals. Here is one such deal. If you scroll down to "hemispheric cooperation" (a nice catchy title don't you think?), we see that Obama has committed $750M to Central America under the banner of the North American Caucus. We literally get NOTHING out of this. One can't even make the argument that "a safer Nicaragua is a safer US" because we don't even share a border with them.
                          Unfortunately this bad deal overlaps with what I would consider to be government waste. There is a non-profit known as Citizens Against Government Waste. Last year they put together a list totaling $648 BILLION of proposed savings in government cuts. Unfortunately, this group comes with its own set of controversies due to donations and accusations of lobbying on the behalf of big business at times, but with my skeptic's hat on, assuming even a quarter of this list is valid, we're talking about A LOT of money that could be saved. Essentially bad deals with ourselves too. I'm not sure if such a thing exists, but would you ever consider a government body that wouldn't need to rely on donations that could perform auditing in this way? An independent group that could look for fraud, waste and abuse instead of relying on Congressional budget hearings and asking govt agencies to do their own axe work? I see these things and think to myself whenever we talk about taxes that it seems like we can do a lot better with the money we're currently spending before we ask for more.

                          President Trump, I’m a recent graduate of Michigan State University and Bernie Sanders voter turned Trump supporter. I took a job in state because I wanted to make Michigan great again and I feel like we need your help. Can we count on you to help fix Detroit, aid in the Flint water crisis, and restore manufacturing jobs to Michigan and the rest of the Midwest?

                          Mr. Trump-
                          I'm a college student who was a democrat until this election. I want to thank you for being someone I trust with the future of our country, and someone I'm excited to vote for.
                          My question is: in your opinion, what was the greatest period in American history? When was our country at its greatest?
                          Thank you and MAGA!

                          Right? I'm sitting here thinking that I'm selfish for worrying if he'll get to my question about the continued offering of CDOs on sub-prime mortgages (both auto and real estate) by smaller credit unions that are exempt from the regulations imposed on big banks. There are dozens of quality questions here and this is a yuge day for reddit.

                          MAGA

                            Mr. Trump, thank you for taking time out to speak with us here. I’ll try and keep my inquiry brief, but my question for you today is related to foreign policy.
                            I find it to be very interesting that so many people look at Russia as a problem country that must be dealt with instead of a country that should be at the forefront of leading Europe and Asia. Part of your campaign has touched on doing one of the many things that Obama could not do: improving foreign relations with Russia. In your opinion, what should be done to help strengthen our bond with a country like Russia to make us stronger allies and help work together to bring stability to the Middle East?
                            Most importantly, I cannot wait to check the box next to your name in November and do my part to assist you in making this country the gold standard once again.

                            A lot of us are very concerned about this. You're clearly winning in the polls, but I don't trust that the voting machines will be so clear with that.

                            Thank you for doing this AMA Mr. Trump. Many in the dishonest media say that your tax plan will create a larger deficit, but fail to report that your tax plan would be implemented along with a massive reduction in government spending. What reductions in government spending do you plan on making?
                            You are an inspiration to us all Mr. Trump. MAGA

                            Mr. Trump, I am a member of the lgbt community and a very strict conservative. As you might know that is a very tough label to bear. How will you help mold the republican presidency into one that fixes what Obama and the democrats have done for the community. Do you have any plans to correct the damages done (for example the new laws for transgender equality in the bathrooms and workplaces, something very important to me as a transgender person). How do you plan on making the country United under a common goal, instead of what has been done to tear it apart with the so called 'equality' that has been spread by misguided democrats?
                            I have serious deep respect for you and how you stood up for us at the convention, and I look forward to a country United under a common goal. Thank you for any responses!

                            Hello Mr. Trump! It's an absolute honor to know you might be reading this question with your own eyes. As a moderate Liberal who now is leaning more towards the conservative side of this election, I have a few general questions you might want to answer... I'd like to get to know you more!
                            1. What's your opinion of General Flynn, and would it be a possibility that he could be included in your cabinet?
                            2. What do you do to relax?
                            3. Can you make a simple, persuasive case why capitalism is preferable to socialism?
                            4. What's your favorite type of sandwich?
                            5. Would it be possible to receive a signed picture of you? It would make my very lack-luster room spectacular!
                            Thank you so much Donald Trump for taking the time to acknowledge me even if you don't reply, it will hold a special place in my heart knowing you read my words. Thank you so much for working to Make America Great Again! and I will be voting for YOU in November!

My question is what is the crucial action that must be taken in order to wipe ISIS off the planet and end their reign of terror?

                            Hello Mr. Trump,

                            This question has a few parts. Excuse me if it's lengthy, but many of us here are wondering these exact questions. Thank you for taking the time today. Can't say Crooked Hillary would do the same.. MAGA
                             
                            1st Do you plan on bringing up Hillary's involvement during her time in the administration, where they allowed Russia to purchase ~20% of our nation's uranium mining assets, by allowing the direct government purchase of the private North American company Uranium One?
                            Over this same span, they were taking in Millions to the Clinton Foundation from Russian quasi state-owned investment banks. Here is a source.
                             
                            2nd In this new digital era, touchscreen voting machines have the ability to subvert the will of the democratic process at the whim of a covert hack, and possibly even by a single programmer. What are your thoughts on the possibilities of electronic voter fraud through malicious programming? Do you think paper ballots should be used instead, to ensure the ability to have a physical recount if necessary?
                             
                            3rd Do you think the Justice Department will investigate the recently leaked media collusion issues, as well as censorship coming from Google, Facebook, Twitter and the like, and attacks against you specifically coming from Google this morning? There are many examples here on reddit in our coffers including two really bad ones this morning. Here are a couple. One , Two
                             
                            4th Would you consider asking Hillary what she thinks the motive might have been for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, who died last week in Washington DC right before the Email leaks? Or is that a no-touch?
                             
                            Thank you for coming here and answering our questions! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

                                Mr. Future President Trump
                                What do you think about the current Internet infrastructure of America? I believe it could be better and greater, however the Internet service providers (ISPs) cannot or will not upgrade it. Is there anything you could do as president to make it great again?

                                Mr. President, thank you for taking the time to do this! We love you!! Can you please give us your thoughts/stance on CISPA, CISA and similar measures that seek to force private companies to share internet traffic information with the government? This is a Big League issue that doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves. Thanks.
                                Also, please make sure to avoid thecold Chai.

                                  President Trump, I am a survivor of the American public school education system. What are you going to do, besides remove Common Core, to raise the value of education in our country?

                                  Mr. Trump. It's an honor.
                                  Outside of spending literally thousands of hours at this point spreading your message and arguing against the lies that have been spread about your campaign (to the cost of quite a few friends and family, sadly!), what can I (and everyone else here) do to take a more official position in helping your campaign? I'd love to do more.
                                  Thank you, and let's Make America Great Again!

                                  Hello Mr. 45th president,
                                  What was the last straw before you decided to save America?
                                  Also, what is the one feature of your presidency that you are most excited to make a reality?
                                  MAGA, good luck, you're what America needs.

Would you overturn gay marriage laws and leave it on a per-state basis? Would you remove marijuana from schedule I and leave that to states as well, much like alcohol is?

                                      President Trump, it has become apparent over the past year of your campaign that one of the most treacherous obstacles to American liberty and safety is mainstream media. Your instincts at managing media are inspiring. What advice do you have for other aspiring Conservative/America-1st Nationalist leaders who must navigate the hostile and biased treatment from journalists & reporters?

                                      My question is simple as I've seen you make recent comments pertaining to student loan debt. Can you please elaborate on whether your initiatives on the matter include those of us that have graduated with degrees but are still struggling to wipe out our debt having just recently entered the workforce? Or will the program only include those that have yet to or currently are attending higher education institutions?

                                      Good evening President Trump and thank you for your extremely valuable time.
                                      nearing the end of my High School career I was encouraged by every adult around me to go to a formal, 4 year, college as was tradition in the community I grew up in. While my family was securely in the middle class of America, by no means were we "Wealthy". I was not completly convinced that this was the best approach and though learning a trade may be better, but ultimately the adults who surrounded me at the time convinced me I was wrong. My father was obligated to help fund my college expense per a divorce agreement and took out a multitude of student loans to help fund the schooling. He also showed me, as an inexperienced 18 year old, how to sign up for loans in my name to help fund the schooling with me not fully understanding the gravity of what it meant to carry $27,000 worth of debt.
                                      I work hard and by no means am I complaining about my obligation. It is mine after all and as an 18 year old adult at the time committed to the obligation.
                                      I am 28 now and have a wonderful family, a beautiful house that I own, and a new, trustworthy car that I love. Blessed to say the least. My question is simply this:
                                      What is your stance on student loans in general? Should the public be obligated to pay for college? Should the government? Should we help those currently carrying student loans?
                                      TL;DR I wish I had gone to a trade school.

                                      CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD!!! Greetings from your most loyal fan base and thank you for spreading some Meme Magic over at r/The_Donald!!!!!!
                                      1. How would you describe the media's desperate attempt to deflect away from how corrupt Hillary Clinton and the DNC are? They somehow think blaming Russia will place the blame elsewhere. In my opinion it doesn't matter who did it. What matters is what was revealed. Between Clinton Cash, the deleted emails, the Clinton Foundation and the "Clinton Body Count", idk how anyone in their right mind could vote for Hillary Rotten Clinton. Everything she says is a lie and the media shills for her 24/7. Also, I look forward to the U.S. working WITH Putin and the Russians under your administration. The media makes Putin out to be a super villain when he's not. Putin is defending Assad from yet ANOTHER illegal regime change.
                                      2. Please consider Ron Paul for president of the FED and consider bringing Rand Paul on as part of your foreign policy advisory team since you both have similar views on foreign policy. Hell, I was for Rand at first but quickly got on board the Trump Train after you demolished Guac Bowl in the South Carolina debate!!! We love you Mr. Trump!
                                      3. MILO FOR WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY!!!!
                                      4. Today you got Hillary to admit her "yoga emails" are a national security issue. Seems like you are playing 4D Korean Starcraft and Hillary is playing checkers!
                                      5. Ivanka will be the first female president!

                                      Mr Trump, thank you for taking the time to do this AMA whilst on your quest to Make America Great Again and congratulations on the recent poll numbers. A couple of questions, if I may:
                                      -Did you see the recent seizure/stroke episode Hillary had while speaking to reporters inside a Starbucks? Do you believe she is healthy enough to hold office?
                                      -Why do you suppose Hillary refuses to hold a press conference?
                                      -Why has the media been silent about Hillary selling 20% of our uranium to Russia?
                                      Thank you for exposing the mainstream media for the frauds that they are. I’ve been following your campaign for months and I didn’t understand your bias towards them initially. As time went on, I witnessed firsthand how the MSM controls the narrative. The recent #DNCleaks further proved that you were right about the media, as well as other corruptions. Thank you for being honest and fighting for America. #TrumpPence16

                                      Dear Mister Trump,
                                      I'm 20 years old and a big supporter of yours from Germany. I pray everyday that you will win this election and become the next president because I truly believe that you can Make America Great Again! And besides: If Crooked Hillary wins, I think it might well be over for you guys, too. She will be just like Angela Merkel. Europe is going down the tubes because of the insane policies of her and other crazy politicians. I am doing everything I can to fight it and save Europe but it doesn't seem to work out.

                                      So here is my Question:
                                      Will Germans and Europeans be able to "seek asylum" in the United States if you become president?
                                      My continent seems to be lost (we are living in an environment of islamic terrorism after all), but I would be more than happy to help Make America Great Again and have my future children grow up in an environment of safety and freedom and I truly believe that you can provide that as the President of the greatest nation on the face of the earth: The United States of America.
                                      God bless you, your family, and everyone around you!

                                      Why can’t the Democrats put political correctness behind them and realize enough is enough? Innocent people are being killed and the media doesn’t seem to care.

                                      So we know Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the co-chair of Hillary's 2008 presidential run where she lost to Obama. So in order to lock down the nomination for 2016, Hillary had to get DWS in charge of the DNC and manipulate it from the inside.
                                      In order for this to work, they would not only have to get the DNC chair to step down, but recommend DWS for the position. The Clinton's would have to promise something to that person. Something more prestigious than being the head of the democratic party. So what would they get.....?
                                      According to http://rulers.org/usgovt.html#parties the person who stepped down and recommended DWS was no one other than...

                                      Have you seen the Clinton Cash documentary or read the book? When you are elected president will you have the FBI and the DOJ investigate and prosecute Bill, Hillary, and all those involved for campaign finance fraud, money laundering, wire fraud, and election fraud?

                                      Hello Mr. Trump,
                                      I am a U.S. Border Patrol Agent along the southwest border. January of this year, The Border Patrol Pay Reform Act (BPAPRA) was implemented.
                                      We were told it would help avoid budgeting/funding issues, as we had been furloughed recently. With the implementation of this system, Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) laws were modified to specifically name Border Patrol Agents as exempt from premium pay compensation beyond 8 hours of work. Our regular shifts are 10 hours, with the “option” of working 8 or 9 hours. Border Patrol Stations are required to have 90% of agents work 10 hour shifts. 8 or 9 hour shifts are not really a legitimate option.
                                      We are being paid straight time for the entirety of our 10-hour shift and being compensated with "Comp Time" beyond our scheduled shift. We would like to be compensated for our time, beyond 8 hours, just like the rest of the nation. We feel that labor laws are being violated. Under our current administration we have no support. As a result, morale is down the toilet and we are losing great agents to other departments and law enforcement agencies at a very fast rate. Agents’ areas of responsibility have grown due to the lack of man power and our efforts along the border are often in vain.
                                      When you become President, in what way will you support the agency to ensure proper compensation and retain adequate man power?

                                      Mr. Trump,
                                      This will probably get buried but in case it doesn't, I have a few questions:
                                      1. Do you have a plan to end corruption in politics? You speak a lot about it and it's clear how corrupt things are. Would you work to change funding laws so that politicians wouldn't be able to be bought?
                                      2. Do you have any plans or ideas on how to end the incredibly biased (borderline corrupt) news networks?
                                      3. I remember seeing a statement that you made years ago (~2000) that the war on drugs was a complete failure and the only solution is to legalize everything in order to remove the black market and thus the criminal aspects of drug abuse. I thought that was the best approach I've ever heard. Do you still stand by this or do you have other tricks up your sleeve?
                                      By the way, thank you for standing up for our country. I think any other billionaire at your age would have just enjoyed his retirement but you're giving up a lot to fix our country. It is inconceivable to me how much energy you have and how selfless you must be to do that. You inspire me to work hard every day and give me hope in this country's future (for the first time in my life). Thank you so much.

                                      Mr. Trump
                                      Many of us, including yourself, value heavily the second amendment right of the people to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, many of our politicians over the years have imposed regulations making it very difficult for Law Abiding citizens to fully practice this right. The founding fathers believed that a population with the right to bear arms equal in capabilities to that of their government would be the biggest insurance for a free society. Unfortunately, our government has decided that the citizens should not be trusted with such arms, such as in the case of the heavy limitations placed on an individual's access and possession of automatic weapons, despite no evidence of them increasing homicide rates or making the people less safe.
                                      So, Mr. Trump, as president of the United States of America, will you reverse the regulations placed on the people's ability to own, trade, and use automatic firearms, allowing them to be treated and traded like any other semi-automatic firearm, and will you finally do away with the completely ludicrous and unnecessary 1989 import ban and other such regulations that limit the people's ability to access firearms.
                                      I'm sure you know as well as any true American nationalist - A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

                                      Hello Mr. Trump,
                                      It is a tremendous honor to have you here today. You may never truly know how YOOOOJ of a deal this is for us nimble navigating centipedes who regularly roam this subreddit.
                                      I have the following question:
                                      Do you believe it is still possible to create a lasting rightward shift in this country, i.e. undo the damage of the 75+ year leftward shift we are still experiencing as a result of FDR's New Deal (and by extension LBJ's massive welfare state expansion; the "Great Society")? We now have generations of people, mainly poor, literally born into welfare who've never known anything else. Essentially, Democrats have created a self perpetuating voter bloc by keeping these people dependent on welfare while "forcing" them to keep voting Democrat in order to maintain their government support. This has also led to the horrors of identity politics, ravaging our democracy, by pressuring people to vote purely based on their race, religion, etc. (Personally, I view this as "21st century slavery" since these policies essentially deny their recipients of the American Dream by keeping them poor and dependent - all in a disguised effort to keep the Democrats in power, while demonizing the Republicans for trying to curb said entitlements.)
                                      My fear is that there will be a continued, unstoppable increase in Democrat voters due to this alone, unless this half century+ policy is addressed/reversed, and that your presidency will simply be a rightward "blip" in an overall hopeless Leftward direction.
                                      Assuming you win (and you will!), how will you perpetuate these right wing values (of being self-made and hard-working) beyond your term in office?
                                      Thank you, again!

                                      Mr. Trump,
                                      I am a Bernie Sanders supporter who is disgusted with how we have been treated by the DNC and the HRC campaign. Like many of your Republican supporters, I would love nothing more than to see Hillary and her political machine defeated. However, I have had some hesitation in getting fully behind your campaign as it doesn't represent the progressive ideals that we have been fighting for. Your campaign is unlike any other we have ever seen and it seems as though you play by your own rules and can do no wrong. Would you consider incorporating some of Sander's platform into your own in order to win over the support of the disenchanted Bernie supporters? I think if we joined forces, we could ensure that crooked Hillary and her cronies would never step foot in the White House again.

                                      Mr. Trump, as a software engineer who's been in the industry for 15 years with a bachelor's degree in computer science, I have a question related to the high tech industry. The H-1B program is supposed to help fill the void of qualified tech workers, but from personal experience it feels like more of a way for companies to commoditize the labor force and buy it for a cheaper rate.
                                      What is your opinion of the H-1B visa program?

                                      Dear Donald J. Trump,
                                      I represent a shrinking minority of middle class union building tradesmen in the United States of America. My brothers and sisters assure me that the route to success for unions is behind the Democrats and Hillary Clinton. I know that they are dead wrong.
                                      What i want to know, from our next President of the United States of America, is how to convince a 100 year old institution that you are what is needed for America AND skilled labor Unions.
                                      So i ask you; what will you do for the builders of this great nation and what will you do for the union workers across the country who are the best of the best.
                                      Thank You, Anthony J.
                                      Make America Great Again!

                                      Hello Mr. Trump!
                                      I live in CA and went to your amazing rally in Costa Mesa. I didn't know when I would ever have another chance to see the next president of the US, so I drove an hour and a half with my Iranian grandfather to see you, and met up with my friend and his dad. We were so happy with how it turned out! You talked about every subject we wanted to hear you talk about and more!
                                      It got interesting when you first mentioned Ted Cruz, and my friend and I began chanting "lyin ted" and the rest of the crowd in our area immediately picked it up and it quickly spread throughout the stadium. You even stopped to make a point about how bad we as a group had branded him. I can't prove this obviously but that's not important. What is important is that it happened and was just another factor that contributed to Ted dropping out.
                                      So my question to you is, how does it feel looking back at how many career politicians and candidate you've taken down and out? Are you surprised with how difficult it was, or was it rather easy for you? I'd imagine that looking back it must be funny to see everyone in the media and government be entirely wrong about you and the movement, and who would eventually get the nomination.
                                      Thank you very much and I hope you have a great day!

                                      Hello Mr. Trump and welcome to /r/The_Donald.
                                      In an interview 20+ years ago with Oprah Winfrey you said you would only run for President if things got "really bad" in the US.
                                      Knowing that my question is what was the event (the straw that broke the camel’s back as they say) that made you realize things were now "really bad" in the US and it was time to run for President?

                                      Mr Trump,
                                      There has been tremendous concerns about mrs Clinton's health on the past week.
                                      We all know she suffered for a stroke , a couple of years ago. But since last year, she has been especially avoiding any stressful situation/ loud situations, as someone afflicted with "le petit mal" would do.
                                      She hasn't appeared in a public speech for six weeks, hasn't had a press conference in 200 days, is only heard through a through a twitter account she doesn't directly handle and finanally refused to debate Bernie.
                                      According to whatever intel you have: How sick exactly is Hillary Clinton, and is she physically fit to be president?

                                      Greetings Mr. Trump! Congratulations on your nomination and thank you for taking the time to answer some of our questions.
                                      As someone who works in production for film visual effects and games, I have seen a huuuuuge chunk of our jobs move up to Canada over the past several years due to their policy of offering tax subsidies to their studios. Are you opposed to this practice on the same level as you do currency manipulation and would you fight to end this practice by Canada in order to level the playing field with US studios and help bring jobs back? Additionally, Would you be willing to consider tariffs or addional taxes on US film/game studios that partake in subsidized Canadian labor markets as a way to discourage this practice?
                                      Thanks!

                                      President Trump, you are one of the most vocal persons regarding the directed attacks by Islamic Jihadists against U.S. service-members and our Ally service-members (Ft. Hood; Tenn. recruiting; Navy Yard; et al), as a (non-combat) Veteran I ask the following:
                                      DoD Directive 5210.66 has been in effect for excess of 70~ years, propagated through time under various titles, but was written in an era with a very different security situation and when the U.S. was involved with more conventional military opponents. Exploitations by Islamic Jihadists, of the de-arming provision within 5210.66 have shown to present a deadly security flaw in the modern age.
                                      When you are officially recognized President, will you either yourself, or through direction of your Defense Secretary appointee, allow DoD Directive 5210.66 to expire, or specifically have removed the provision within which bars persons, under the authority of the DoD, from carrying otherwise Constitutionally protected arms as a means of self-defense, on properties leased or otherwise managed by the DoD?

They could be paid a wage that they can bank for release and learn new skills in order to hit the ground running.

                                        Mr. Trump, thank you for running for President and Making America Great Again! Your glorious high energy and can-do attitude inspires me to be a better person.
                                        I have two questions for you, Mr. Trump.
                                        First, as POTUS, would you advocate for an end to birthright citizenship? I was born on a US military base overseas and I do not have dual citizenship, as the country of my birth does not have a policy of Jus soli. I am not entitled to become a citizen of that nation simply by being born there. I feel this is how the United States should operate, that we should not have birthright citizenship, and that citizenship of the greatest country on earth is a privilege and not a right that all can obtain simply by being born here.
                                        Also, what are your thoughts on affirmative action? As a young woman, I find policies like this to be a little insulting, as if simply by being a woman I need special advantages to get ahead (and couldn't possibly get ahead due to my own hard work and skills). I want to be judged on the content of my character and the quality of my work, not given special benefits simply for being a woman. Equality should mean equality for all, not special treatment for some at the expense of everyone else.

                                        He is doing this because he loves this country and he is sick and tired of seeing our country place LAST in everything.

                                          I appreciate your ambition. Follow your dreams. However, make sure that you achieve one goal at a time. Your first goal should be to be a Marine (graduate boot camp).
                                          Your next goal should be to live your life with honor, courage, and commitment.
                                          After that, you need to pass ITB.
                                          If, and that's a big IF, you are offered/volunteer to be a recon, then do not forget what I said above. You're a Marine with honor, courage, and commitment. You do NOT give up. You do NOT back away from a challenge.
                                          After all of this, I hope that you achieve your dreams. Take care of my Corps... those before you (IF you make it) have left you a mighty good legacy. Cherish it, improve it, but most of all... leave it.

                                          Future President Trump; My future career ambitions are in public service, ideally within Homeland Security Investigations as a federal law enforcement officer. On your platform page, you correctly state that ICE (which includes HSI) is spread very thin having only 5,000 agents for the entire country. Do you plan on expanding other federal agencies that are spread just as thin, including the Secret Service and the DEA, in addition to ICE? Thank you so much for your time. I was proud to vote for you in the Florida primary and will be surely assisting in your victory in this state in November.

                                          Mr Trump,
                                          To me, and to millions of others, you are an absolute role model, an American patriot, and a hero. As a 17 year old, what can I do to make sure that you are the next President of the United States? As a young American, what can I do to help get the word out about your movement? More than anything else, I would like to show people the real, honest, loving, hardworking Donald Trump, which tragically, many people don't seem to know due to such harsh rhetoric put forth by your opponents. Through every speech and every new poll, millions of us are standing right behind you. What can we, young America, do for your campaign?

                                          I do hope this gets answered as well.
                                          Mr. Trump's last position that I could find (from 2014) was not encouraging, and probably stemming from him being misinformed about what it exactly means, or just being against it because Obama is for it.
                                          I do hope that someone had the chance to tell him what it really is and why it is needed (or why even having a discussion about not having it is ludicrous).

                                          Dear President Trump, savior of America, My fiancé and I are in EPS manufacturing on the east coast. We were wondering whether your import tariff system would focus more on individual industries (i.e. China vs European steel), more on individual countries' trade deficits, a flat rate, all of the above, or something totally off the wall? You are testament to the fact that anything is possible. And believe me, you have our attention, respect, and our vote. MAGA

                                          Hello. I'm from Estonia and recently there have been news here that if Trump gets president, America wouldn't protect us and our region against Russia anymore, if we doesn't pay 2% of GDP. Estonia pays it and even more, but we are still very worried what will happen, will American forces stay here and in our region? We can't forget what Russia is doing in Ukraine and Crimea, it's normal for this country to attack their smaller neighbours and since we were occupied by this country almost 50 years and experienced terrible brutality, we wouldn't want it to happen again ever.

                                          I don't mean to butt in, but Trump has stated he will audit the FED. "On February 22, 2016, Republican presidential candidate and brand-licensing billionaire Donald J. Trump released a statement (and tweeted) about the importance of auditing the Federal Reserve.."

                                          Mr. Trump, I am German and german media doesn't really report much about the elections in the USA except for anti-trump and pro-hillary propaganda. I would have loved to see Bernie Sanders become the new President of the USA, but since that's not going to happen and Hillary seems to be corrupt and shady, I think the best thing that could happen to the USA is you becoming the new president. My question is, when you are the new president, what changes do you wanna make in the relations between your country, the European countries and the countries in the middle east?

If so what do you think about him and/or his permanent Twitter ban and would you ever consider using him in any way for your campaign?

                                          My questions: As someone who ran for president as an outsider without much prior political experience, what has been the most powerful thing you have learned during this campaign, either about yourself, the country, or the political process?

                                            Mr. Trump, I'm lucky enough to be born and raised in the same neighborhood as your father, Woodhaven Queens. There's a bar in the neighborhood named "Neir's Tavern" that was founded in 1829 and its the oldest bar in New York.
                                            It saddens me to see old historic landmarks that have been around for so long get ripped down and replaced with another deli or a T-Mobile store.
                                            My question is probably not the biggest priority on your list, but would you have any plans on preserving historic landmarks that aren't officially certified (like Neir's Tavern)?
                                            P.S. I was in the front row at your rally in Poughkeepsie, it was such an honor! Only at a Trump rally do you hear people chanting USA USA USA!

                                            Mr. Trump, with the national debt rising to over 20 trillion dollars, we can no longer afford to keep putting it behind for future generations to solve. What are your short term and long term plans to address solving this potential disaster.
                                            Also, is there anything you would like to say to help convince anyone that is on the fence about you, from super strong conservatives who just need a little more convincing, to liberals who just can't stand Clinton but haven't wanted to support you yet?
                                            Thank you for the time taken to respond to the questions here.

                                            Hello Mr. Trump. I come to ask you something not as an outright supporter, but as someone who would like to support you. When I first learned that you, and accomplished Businessman who had shown so much interest and care toward others in rebuilding our Country. I was hopeful, that you would bring a larger fold into and back into the Republican party. I consider myself an Independent voter today, I was a very staunch Conservative and Republican for many years. I am a Millennial, but I have voted in the last 2 presidential elections and in the last 2 midterm elections. I voted for a third party in those elections as I could not stomach the fact that Democrats want to use people that are in minorities to simply get elected and really don't do much unless there is a major change in public sentiment. They have abused the poor, the black, the hispanic, all people of races, women, children, and even LGBT people. They have done this by promising us things that only happened after decades of promises, and even then as no direct action from their party leaders. So now to my question, I am a gay man. It has been extremely difficult for me growing up in a religious household in the South, and being unable to accept myself because of societal pressures put upon me to conform to the way they would like me to be. I fought against my sexuality for many many years, and it has in many ways traumatized me and almost 8 years later when I am finally accepting myself and trying to be the best person I can be with what I am given, I was so hopeful to maybe be able to vote again for a party I had once cherished for being for working class Americans, and for defending freedoms here and over seas. I would like to know, from you man to man and as a fellow human will you include me in your America? Can I be assured that you will not actively attempt to harm me with social policy or by influencing the attitude of the current society against me being gay? I am at a hard time in my life, I would just like to know for once that I could vote for someone who does not conform to the way people want him to be, and who will treat all Americans equally to the best of his ability and from the bottom of his heart and soul. Will I be able to be with a Partner that I love very much in your America Mr. Trump? Will I be able to adopt a son or daughter? Will you allow some who are in your party to pass legislation for conversion therapy for gay men? I do not want to live in fear that I may after all this time and effort will have to submit myself to more attempts to change who I am, when I know I have tried in the past and can not be who I am not capable of being. You are a man of faith, I think you are a good man or would like to believe that. I see you as an employer, a father, a grand father and someone I could maybe look up to. I very much want to have someone to look up to again in this country, and to feel I belong as much as everyone else. I hope sincerely that you will see this question, and I know that I am somewhat emotional as I write this. I apologize for being long winded, but I feel I can not vote for you even though I share so many of the same economic, liberty, and defense views that you do. I want a better job, and to make a better living again. But I can not risk losing my freedom as a gay man. Please tell me that you will be in my corner and protect me as much as you protect everyone else in this Country and our freedoms, if I cast my vote for you. Thank you again.

                                            Good evening, Mr. Trump.
                                            I know many former Bernie supporters here on Reddit are disgruntled with both the DNC’s nominee, as you call her, Crooked Hillary and with the DNC itself over the recent leaks. Many of them to the point that they absolutely refuse to vote for Clinton and instead are beginning to support a third-party candidate such as Jill Stein or Gary Johnson. Some are even considering throwing their vote your way. As a former Bernie supporter myself, I am currently undecided on who to back, whether it be you, Clinton, or a third-party candidate. To put my question simply, why should I vote for you?

                                            1.) Are you worried electronic voting boothes are rigged?
                                            2.) With all of the controversy around emails, why is technology such a minor topic in elections? You've vaguely mentioned security and how easy it is to get a website, but it really only scratches the surface. It's impossible for strong candidates to get jobs in the government because the government is a terrible job provider. They short sell people on their skill and in tech that's just not feasible. Interviews are often done by managers with project requirements, but lack the technological background to tell the bullshitters from the strong candidates. Projects are slow, because no one needs to be accountable, because the people in charge don't know how much effort it even SHOULD take. (source: I'm a softwar engineer)
                                            Speaking of which, next time you're talking about the emails, don't forget to bring up Hillary's remote administration port for her server was literally on a DMZ. That means the same thing on a computer as the military, a DEMILITARIZED ZONE.
                                            3.) I'm up for promotion in October, if given the opportunity what is your most simple advice in terms of negotiating the best deal for myself as possible?

                                            Dear Mr. Trump, you are simply the best.
                                            I am a 22 year old recent college grad female supporter of yours from NYC. I attended your rally in Harrisburg, PA, and you were kind enough to speak to me and take a selfie with me. It was one of the best days of my life!
                                            I am an only child who lost both her parents to cancer. My mom raised me as a fan of yours, watching The Apprentice since the very first season. She would be so proud knowing I am such a steadfast supporter of yours.
                                            Your family is incredible and Ivanka is one of my role models - as are you, Mr. Trump, encouraging me to speak up and say what's on my mind UNLIKE Crooked Hillary Clinton. I want to see a female president in my lifetime but it CANNOT be crooked Hillary - Ivanka Trump, absolutely! As a female, I would be embarrassed to say Crooked Hillary was the first female president of the US. I can't wait to see what you do for this country in the next few months and in the next eight years when you are President of the United States!
                                            Sending gratitude, best wishes, and love from your hometown, NYC!
                                            All the best, Abigail New York, NY

                                            The American tech industry and Silicon Valley have a clear bias against conservatives. Facebook, Twitter, Google, and even Reddit regularly censor, ban, and silence opinions that aren't in line with their left-wing ideals. Since these technology platforms are now major avenues for communication in the modern world, and since they've become as ubiquitous a technology as the automobile or the telephone, this egregious assault on free speech affects all of us. It is unacceptable.

                                            WHEN elected President, how will you promote free speech and diversity of thought on social media?

                                            How will you fight the anti-conservative bias in Silicon Valley?

                                            Hello Mr Donald J Trump,
                                            I am going to be a future educator of social studies (still can't find a job) and as things are right now, today's youth seems to disrespect the teaching profession and it seems that society as a whole does not appreciate America's teachers anymore. Teaching is one of the cornerstones of society and I believe society should pay more attention to it. Better teachers means a better American foundation and future!
                                            What is your plan concerning America's teachers?
                                            I appreciate your time to answer.

                                            President Trump, do you plan on visiting San Bernardino anytime? I feel that this city needs unity, there's no sense of pride, there's a lot of rampant crime, and there's political corruption within our city. Many people here just dont care, its a run down city, and even shortly after the December terrorist attack most people just didnt care or treated it as one of the any crimes we have here. I'm just hoping you can maybe bring up these topics and try to unify San Bernardino and all of America. Hispanics for Trump. MAGA.

                                            Dear Mr. Trump, I also have two questions that affect America as a whole:
                                            I recently read Ted Koppels book, Lights Out which describes the precarious nature of our electric grid, wherein one computer hack or EMP can bring this country to a halt and result in the deaths of millions if our grid goes down on a large scale over a long period of time. Do you have plans to address this.
                                            It is said that it doesn't matter who votes, but who counts the votes. We also see how the democrats rigged their primaries, how Google rigged their search engine to prevent you from showing up as a presidential candidate. I remember in 2008 voters being met with armed Black Panthers at certain polling stations, military ballots from overseas being lost and never counted, computers flipping votes from McCain to Obama but nothing was ever done. How will you prevent fraud from nagating our votes? I am certain Hilaary will use her Silicon Valley connections to rig the integrity of the voting process. How can you address this?
                                            Thank you, and I pray every day that you are our next president.

                                            Mr. Trump, thanks for doing this! Now my question is concerning Russia: How will you improve US-Russian relations as President, and Why?

                                            Trump's AMA has just been taken off /r/all. Have a look.

                                            Donald just wanted to stop in and say thank you. I know you won't see this, but your campaign and revolution has breathed a much needed new air into this corrupt system. Thank you for exposing the real frauds for who they are. You give people something to believe in. I believe in our chances with you at the helm.

                                            Hey Trump. I remember reading that you only sleep 4 hours a night; that's impressive for how energetic you are! How do you manage? Is it something genetic, or maybe part of a lifestyle?

                                            Congrats on your nomination as republican candidate.
                                            1) If you had one political leader to choose as your role model, who would it be?
                                            2) Which french presidential candidate do you support for 2017 ?
                                            3) What is your position on open-source software?
                                            4) How do you plan to help lower-income families? Some of them work very hard all year long and still get the minimum wage, which is clearly not enough for them to afford health care and higher education for their children, who represent the future generation.

                                            Mr. Trump, so glad you are running for the Presidency, My question is after watching the RNC, and you saying you are for the people I hope you will stand up and take a look at the Child Protective services, they are taking children from families without anything being wrong in the household, (I'm not saying they aren't helping children that need help but) the ones that are fine with their families are traumatized, I have even met parents theat have jumped through all their required hoops and still not getting their children back. This is very serious, they then work towards adopting them out as they did with my granddaughters and now I have no contact with them and were in their lives from the day they were born. In some states they don't have anywhere to place children and so they are keeping them in the local office sleeping on the floor or a couch. I would like to know if this is something that you WILL look into since title IV funding comes out of the social security division there is another entitlement but can't remember the number.

                                            Greetings Mr. Trump!
                                            Firstly I would like to say on behalf of me and my family, thank you so much for everything it is you are doing for us and our Country! You have given me a feeling of hope, a feeling of pride, and truly the inspiration to be a better person. You embody the very essence of the American spirit of determination to do the right thing, no matter the odds.
                                            I know you have a lot on your plate when you plan on getting into the presidency and a lot of TOUGH, BIG issues I know you will tackle head on. The issue I wanted to ask you about may seem to many like a small one, though I wish to argue it is not. Here in America we love to talk about our many freedoms, but I feel like there is one we are being withheld from for a very "special interest" reason. That is the criminalization and schedule I listing of Marijuana. I KNOW you are of sober mind and like it that way, as I also am. I run a business operating trucks on our nation's highways so I don't ever get reckless when it comes to people's lives and mine. Having said that i would like to read you a quote from Thomas Jefferson: “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country.” and also by our first great president George Washington: "Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
                                            There are more benefits to decriminalizing marijuana than one may think. Firstly we spend a lot of money running a system where we incarcerate Americans for possessing the very thing our forefathers praised. We split up families, fill prisons, and give people drug charges that affect their future negatively. There are thousands of industrial uses for hemp such as: clothing, paper, building materials, food, medicine, paint, detergent, varnish, oil, ink, and fuel. All that hold significant higher and cleaner qualities than today's similar products. The medicinal uses of Marijuana are very beneficial and often a life-saving to millions of American's, this plant is proven to be about as harmless as any other drug we are given by BIG PHARMA.
                                            I CANNOT ACCEPT that this law is in effect for our own health, as we see millions of Americans troubled by problems stemming from Tobacco, Alcohol, and the list of prescribed drugs that are constantly killing our youth. Marijuana is shown to help those with alcohol/drug abuse, ease anxiety, can treat PTSD with veterans, and a helps with a wide range of certain diseases. When I think about the enormous benefits of decriminalizing and descheduling marijuana, I wonder why ,in the land of the free, we are stripped of our freedom for possessing a plant? Changing this law will take the massive burden off our taxes we use to house and incarcerate our fellow citizens. Instead we would collect tax revenue from legal sales and offer new industries, millions of jobs/businesses, better products, economic growth, great prosperity and wealth for Americans everywhere. Why is it that the worst thing about marijuana is getting caught with it?
                                            So Mr. Trump my question is: What is your stance on the legalization, decriminalizing, and descheduling of Marijuana?
                                            Thank you so much for taking the time! God bless. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

                                            Mr. Trump,
                                            A question about growing our economy-
                                            How can we have 6% growth in GDP when we have a fiat currency with unlimited inflation potential? How can we hold inflation down as the economy grows during your presidency?
                                            Thanks!
