Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump credited the power of "new media" while lambasting the "total dishonesty of the press" during a special Reddit AMA this week.

The hotel mogul took to the /r/The_Donald online forum thread Wednesday for over an hour answering over a dozen questions from site users, who asked about everything from Hillary's missing press conferences to how he plans to secure Bernie supporters.

"Do you think Hillary will attempt to decrease the number of times she has to debate you like she did to Bernie during the Democratic Primary, or even avoid debating you altogether like she's avoided press conferences altogether this year?" one user asked.

"Crooked Hillary Clinton will not do press conferences because she cannot explain her illegally deleted 33,000 emails, or her disaster in Libya, or her role pushing TPP (which she would 100% approve if she got the chance), or her support for a 550% increase in Syrian refugees, etc," Trump responded.
