However some managed to write 'lock her up' repeatedly when he was asked about 'Crooked Hillary'

When it comes to his online campaign, Donald Trump has no limits and speaks freely without fear of the backlash.

But his first appearance on Reddit's Ask Me Anything (AMA) was far more controlled, as he only answered friendly questions and ignored negative comments.

The Republican nominee's question-and-answer thread on the community website was heavily moderated - leaving many comments unanswered.

He promised it would be 'huge', but he only answered about eight questions in total.

When the billionaire was asked about Hillary, there were messages mimicking the chant of 'lock her up, lock her up' that was heard at their party's convention last week.

He also said: 'Keeping Crooked Hillary Clinton out of the White House,' was the best way to keep money out of politics.

Trump also slammed Obamacare and the mainstream media. In response to a statement that 90 per cent of media is owned by six companies, he wrote: '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.'

Introducing himself to the thread, he wrote wrote: 'This is going to be SO huge and I'm looking forward to answering your questions. I'm doing this in flight to visit the great people of Toledo, OH, so Internet connection might be spotty.

'I promise you, I'll answer all the questions I can. I want to do BIG things for America and as your President, I WILL Make America Great Again!'

One person he did respond to wrote: '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?'

Trump responded by saying: 'Americans in every party are tired of our rigged system and corrupt politicians, and want to reform our government so it no longer benefits the powerful at the expense of everyone else.

'They know I will fix it so it works for them and their families. Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change. My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now.

'We have to change a foreign policy that has led us to one economic disaster after another, and an economic policy that has failed our poorest citizens.

'We will never fix a rigged system by relying on the people who rigged it in the first place.

'I am going to return the government to the people.'

Another Reddit user said: '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?'

The Donald responded by saying: 'Though Bernie is exhausted and has given up on his revolution, many of his voters still want to keep up the fight.

'I expect that millions of Bernie voters will refuse to vote for Hillary because of her support for the War in Iraq, the invasion of Libya, NAFTA and TPP, and of course because she is totally bought and sold by special interests.

'She and her husband have been paid millions and millions by global corporations and powerful interests who will control her every decision. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings.

'We welcome with open arms all voters who want an honest government and to fix our rigged system so it works for the people.
