A Q&A with Donald Trump, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States.

In his first magazine cover interview as the leading Republican, Donald Trump, the reality TV presidential candidate, lets loose on Hillary's e-mail scandal ("Watergate on steroids"), Bill Cosby ("Was he drunk?"), whether he'll go on Megyn Kelly's show, why he won't accept vice president, Melania as first lady, and if he even needs Fox News and the haters.

When asked about the Federal Communications Commission and network neutrality, and whether the government should be regulating Internet speed, Trumps said, "I always like government staying out of business. They're trying to stay out of business, and it'll be interesting to see if they do." Asked if it was the right decision for the FCC to kill Comcast's bid for Time Warner Cable, Trump said, "I have so many friends on both sides of that equation, I'd rather not answer."
