Here's how I think Trump would answer the matrix questions:

1. The right to individual autonomy is important, even if it threatens collective security.
Disagree, This is a critical issue to him

2. The government should penalize organizations that practice outsourcing.
Agree, this is a critical issue to him

3. Giving faith-based charities the same government resources as secular organizations is a good idea.
Agree

4. We should increase foreign aid to countries struggling with poverty.
Disagree

5. We should increase funding for education.
Disagree, at least at the federal level

6. Heterosexual couples should receive higher marital recognition than same-sex couples.
Usually agree, doesn't believe in gay marriage but accepts it as the law

7. Overall, free trade hurts more than it helps.
Agree, this is a critical issue to him

8. We should reduce the number of government programs substantially.
Usually agree, vaguely worded but overall I think he wants to cut the government more than he wants to add to it.

9. Abortion should be illegal or very heavily restricted.
Agree

10. The government should fund museums, theaters, and other cultural institutions that are unable to survive independently.
Disagree

11. The government should subsidize health insurance for those who cannot easily afford it.
Agree

12. The government should work to reduce children's exposure to offensive radio and television content.
I put Neutral, he has no problem saying he wants to "bomb the s*** out of isis" at his rallies but I don't think he would want it broadcast on Nickelodeon. Either way it's not a major issue for this election.

13. It is unfair that wealthier people pay higher tax rates.
Agree

14. The minimum wage should be raised.
Disagree

15. Marijuana should be legalized.
Usually Disagree, medical only

16. Society focuses too much on forcing equality at the expense of real merit.
Agree

17. Violating individual rights is acceptable when it comes to fighting terrorism.
Agree, this is a critical issue to him

18. Current levels of government regulation on industry are excessive.
Agree

19. The government should provide basic needs for all people.
Usually disagree

20. The death penalty should be an option for serious crimes.
Agree

21. We should reduce the difficulty of immigration.
Disagree, this is a critical issue to him

22. Union workers should be protected against being fired during strikes.
Usually Agree, he's got along pretty well with unions when he's had to deal with them

23. Prostitution should be legalized.
Disagree, no politician in either party is willing to touch this issue

24. Flag burning should be banned.
Agree

25. I support affirmative action.
Usually Agree, I don't think he's ever used it himself but he's fine with it if others do.

26. The government should impose tariffs to protect industries from foreign competition.
Agree, this is a critical issue to him

27. Physician-assisted suicide should be legal if the patient is capable of informed, rational consent.
Disagree, he hasn't said anything about this but he would have to be against publicly no matter what he really thinks
