Trump answered a few questions on a range of topics.

On the how would the press ban survived a court challenge, “I don't think that a court should allow fake news to be written day after day after day.”

On Hasan Piker, “He's a terrible liability. I think he's got a power over some of these Democrats, and he'll be voting that way. I mean, he's a communist. There's no question about it.”

On Republican Rep. Maria Salazar of Florida who recently aired a campaign ad disagreeing with Trump’s immigration policy, “ I disagree with her.”

“she got a little bit soft on the border. I understand that.”

On the Lindsay Clancy trial , “It's a very tough situation, and I know the jury was certainly not a friendly one in terms of that one person. But it's not for me.”

The Q&A is ongoing.
