30-SECOND QUESTIONS

WHAT AM I

If you don’t know what to ask at your next town hall, feel free to use one of these questions below.

These questions are all being managed by one (1) person, so edit and correct them to your liking and make them your own.

Or, email me/ if you have a question idea you want to submit. I don’t always check my email, but I will try!

Question 1

Israel’s finance minister called Gaza a “real-estate bonanza,” said the “demolition phase” was complete and claimed a redevelopment plan was on President Trump’s desk. Trump also posted an AI video portraying Gaza as a luxury resort filled with gold statues of himself. Do you condemn treating the destruction and displacement of Palestinian civilians as a real-estate opportunity, and will you oppose any U.S. support for redevelopment that denies Palestinians their homes, rights and self-determination?

Question 2

Trump withdrew from the World Health Organization, boycotted the U.N. review of America’s human-rights record, gutted USAID, threatened the International Criminal Court unless it shielded him and his allies, and refused to extend the trade agreement he negotiated with Canada and Mexico. This administration treats diplomacy like a petty feud, severing ties, insulting allies, and creating openings for other countries to build alliances without us. Why are we isolating ourselves, and what will you do to restore America’s credibility and relationships?

Question 3

France’s U.N. mission recently said America “used to be a beacon of human rights” but now stands isolated, while Amnesty International described Trump alongside Putin and Netanyahu as “voracious predators” pursuing political and economic domination. Mexico has even turned to the U.N. over deaths of its citizens in U.S. custody, while this administration has threatened the International Criminal Court and repeatedly attacked international institutions. When our allies and human-rights organizations begin viewing America as a predator rather than a defender of human dignity, what does that do to our standing in the world and what will you do to restore it?
