Good morning, America. Donald Trump is your current clubhouse leader for the GOP 2016 ticket. And it might be for good reason. Trump has dominated the media landscape for the past several weeks, starting with his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants and his disparaging Sen. John McCain as a war hero because he was captured while fighting in Vietnam.
Needless to say, Trump is a hot get for news outlets across the country. Last night, he appeared with Anderson Cooper on CNN.
And today, he joins New Times for an exclusive interview. Well, not Trump per se. More like his Twitter feed, which is basically Trump, when you think about it. The Donald’s Twitter feed has been his number-one vessel to getting his message out to the masses.
And now, that Twitter feed joins us to talk about those controversial Mexican immigrant comments, McCain, and what exactly he’d do should he, Donald Trump, be elected president of the United States of America:
New Times: First of all, thank you for joining us, Mr. Trump.
Thanks- many are saying I'm the best 140 character writer in the world. It's easy when it's fun.

Sure. Well. it’s been a helluva couple of weeks, and everyone is clamoring to get an interview with you. So many questions to ask you about your recent comments.
Everyone is asking me to speak more on Robert & Kristen.I don't have time except to say "Robert, drop her, she cheated on you & will again!"
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2012
Oh… um.. well. That’s not exactly what everyone wants to talk to you about. They want to talk about your controversial comments on Mexican immigrants and the border. And also your controversial comments on John McCain.
This story is no longer about John McCain, it’s about our horribly treated vets. Illegals are treated better than our wonderful veterans.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2015
Hmm… interesting. What else do you see as a national travesty that needs immediate attention, like the veterans?
Barney Frank looked disgusting–nipples protruding–in his blue shirt before Congress. Very very disrespectful.

Uh. OK. That one’s a little weird and creepy, actually.
Thanks. https://t.co/R1YuKaA8B8

So… let’s tackle some of your campaign promises. What would you say is your top promise?
We have got to take our country back. It's time!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2015
Right. OK, so… where would you start, Mr. Trump? What would be your first step to taking back our country as president?
The cheap 12 inch sq. marble tiles behind speaker at UN always bothered me. I will replace with beautiful large marble slabs if they ask me.

Oh. That sounds lovely. What else?
It's freezing and snowing in New York–we need global warming!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Um… that doesn’t sound like much of a solution. Besides, global warming is actually a bad thing, not something “we need.”
It’s extremely cold in NY & NJ—not good for flood victims. Where is global warming?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2012
Global warming isn’t something you can order, like a pizza. Also, it’s the middle of summer.
Thanks. https://t.co/R1YuKaA8B8
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2015
No problem. Here to help. OK… Next question: What did you think of the recent Pluto flyby?
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Oh… so you’re among the conspiracy theorists who think it was all a hoax?
I never fall for scams. I am the only person who immediately walked out of my ‘Ali G’ interview
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 30, 2012
Oh. Well. Great… Moving on… Let’s get back on track here.
Tomorrow will be a really big day for America. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2015
Yes. That. What is the —
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2015
Yes. OK. Got it. Now… as president, what would be the one thought that would keep you up at night?
I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2012
OK. What else?
Let Pete Rose into the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's time, he has paid a big and very long price!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2015
That’s quite a stance. Anything else? What if you had to pick one American and give them a special message? What would that message be?
.@katyperry is no bargain but I don't like John Mayer–he dates and tells–be careful Katy (just watch!).
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 19, 2012
Very good. What do you think is the key to a successful presidency?
The brass in #TRUMP Tower's atrium is polished twice a month like clockwork. I keep the atrium impeccable. Key to its success!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012
No. The key to the success to the presidency.
My twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 17, 2012
Oh. I see. Your Twitter feed is. Got it, got it. And what do you think is going to be the biggest challenge facing the next president?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2015
Right. But… do you have any specific ideas on how you would do that?
Let’s Trump the Establishment! We are no longer silent. We will Make America Great Again! https://t.co/u25yI6aIvG
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2015
Oh. With puns. Well done, sir.
Thanks. https://t.co/R1YuKaA8B8
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 12, 2015
If you were to win the GOP ticket, what would your message be to your detractors?
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
Really? That would be… an odd choice. Anything else?
Amazing how the haters & losers keep tweeting the name “F**kface Von Clownstick” like they are so original & like no one else is doing it…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 3, 2013
All right then. Well. One last question: Describe, if you would, your very first day in office as president of the United States of America.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2015
Uh…
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2015
OK… I think we’re done here.
Tomorrow will be a really big day for America. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2015
That’ll do. Thank you!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 14, 2015
Please stop.
Watch me on the @oreillyfactor tonight at 8PM.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 30, 2015
No.
