Trump broke tradition with his AMA. He didn’t host it with the popular /r/IAmA subreddit, where most celebrities set up shop. Instead, he joined /r/The_Donald, a subreddit devoted to his candidacy that is populated by redditors who are fiercely loyal to him: They are quick to deploy a “Make America Great Again” meme in fun or fill up a thread with acidic derision toward the billionaire’s opponents. Scrolling through the posts of the “centipedes” (that’s what these redditors call themselves, a joke centered on Trump’s wily flexibility and somehow inspired by this video), one notices plenty of references to the “God Emperor Trump” and the “cuckservatives” in Congress.

As such, the ground rules were a bit different than your average AMA. Moderators deleted comments from any Reddit account created in the past month, assuming they were created by troublemakers out to spam the Q&A. They also liberally deleted comment they deemed unhelpful. As one moderator put it, “We built the wall 10 ft taller, you might say.” That’s why the subreddit’s volunteer moderators posted this warning earlier in the day:

WE'RE R/THE_DONALD. OUR PLACE, OUR RULES. We would remind everyone, including media here that we are not a part of the campaign, but we love our community and we will take all measures necessary to protect it.

Yes, we will ban troublemakers

Yes, we will remove trolling comments

Yes, we mean it when we say we'll throw anyone over our walls who fails to behave themselves

Trump posted his first comment around 6:30 p.m. and began answering questions shortly after 7 p.m. The first question he addressed was this:

Mr. Trump, on behalf of /r/asktrumpsupporters we would like to ask you the following questions: 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.

The candidate ignored those last few questions but answered the first two, sort of:

1 - Voter fraud is always a serious concern and authorities must be vigilant from keeping those from voting that are not authorized to do so. 2 - Honestly I think NASA is wonderful! America has always led the world in space exploration.

Next, he was asked how his administration would confront the media while remaining on the right side of the First Amendment. His answer essentially extolled his Twitter account. “I have been very concerned about media bias and the total dishonesty of the press,” he wrote back. “I think new media is a great way to get out the truth.”
