Heads up. Trump is doing an AMA tonight at 7 pm.

It is going to be tightly managed to protect him from the internet's equivalent of protesters but I'm hoping some of the good trolls figure out how to get through on the AMA.

At the very least I expect him to say plenty of garbage that can be used against him later.

Here is the announcement

The members of his fan club at r/The_Donald are the worst of the worst. Many are very open with their racism and other forms of bigotry. I'm curious if the tightly managed AMA will be able to hide the bigotry - god knows they won't be able to contain themselves.

Here is an NBC article about the AMA

I'll be watching the President, current Vice President and future Vice President.

But the recap should be entertaining.

Will any one ask him how much he's borrowed from Russian oligarchs and Gazprom?

Top vote getters will be the AMA questions.

The results so far are soft balls. Feel free to vote up questions which should give answers that we can bury him with.

Looks like you can vote more than once.

Hello, dear Donald Trump. In advance sorry for my english. I write from Russia and I want to say that in my approximation of you use very popular. Personally, I like your motives and ideas. I wish you victory in the presidential race! I love both Russia and the United States. I very much want to go to America, but it is impossible. I am for peace in the world! We must live together. In particular, Russian, and Chinese Americans. After all, our state - the state system core of the Earth. With all best wishes, Alexey.

I plan on posting a thoughtful question. I'm thinking if I say I'm an undecided Bernie supporter he'll feel compelled to try and earn my vote.
