I suspect Trump is doing some debate prep. You know that the Murdoch’s Torquemadas will have some “gotcha questions” that will try to expose Trump’s lack of knowledge about a particular area, especially as it concerns some of his pronouncements about trade or immigration. For example, who is the PM of India or the head of China or President of Mexico?

I believe trump is well versed in fielding "gotcha questions."

Answering them is not the correct response.

I understand the gotcha questions for Trump and I’m looking forward to see how he handles them. So far he’s been knocking them out of the park.

Like that obscure radio DJ did to W. Bush. You can have some techniques ready to counter the tinker-toy factoid BS.

Here's one: You quickly scan the the debate crowd and see the usual puzzlement on Governor Perry's face. Trump redirects the question to Perry and of course he says 'Duuh... I don't duh'. Trump returns to the Rupert Murdock inquisitor to ask a different grade school question: 'Can you name me 5 Congs from the state of California?' It would steal the show.

I'd LOVE to hear Trump respond with something like: "Details, details. Ever hear the term, 'delegation?' The 'experts' (i.e., 'detail men') should be on tap NOT on top."
