Trump TV Lives? POTUS Proposes 'Worldwide Network' to Rival CNN


by Joe DePaolo | Nov 26th, 2018, 3:07 pm

The concept of Trump TV was often bandied about in the lead-up to the 2016 election — as many assumed a political network was a logical next move for Donald Trump, had he gone on to lose the race. But even though he is now Commander-in-Chief, is Trump TV back on the table?

In a pair of Monday afternoon Tweets, the president — lamenting coverage of his administration on CNN — floated the possibility of starting up an alternative. A proposed network he described as being “worldwide” in reach.






Trump TV had a dry run of sorts in the days before the 2016 election. The president’s campaign broadcasted nightly newscasts ahead of the November 2016 vote. Among those who participated in those initial telecasts; Tomi Lahren, Sean Spicer, and Boris Epshteyn.

Which of course, would be a violation of the 1st amendment.

But, that idiot wouldn't know that, would he?

Even though they were severely pushed by various administrations to broadcast the admin's viewpoints, the professionals generally tried to be even-handed.

It is hard to convince any group of people to believe you if all you do is spout lies. RT.com started out being a fairly good source until the pute turned the dial.

Dump's broadcasts will have the dial turned full throttle from day 1 - he knows no subtlety.

Ok, Tiny, if YOU are going to start a USA Worldwide channel I humbly suggest a few programming criteria. First, we need some simple humor, (your followers are not known for sophisticated content) Second, some form of titillating content to attract attention-(PORN) Third, something that will indicate that none of this content is actually real. A few tweets from THE TWIT IN CHIEF should do the trick. Now with your propensity to steal others ideas, take credit for them, then pervert them totally this becomes a very easy proposition Simply Combine THE CARTOON NETWORK with PORN HUB, throw in a few shots of yourself, Don Jr, Jared for the Prick Points, and Ivanka, Melania, and other Fox News skirts for the "whatever quotient" and your set to go. KEEP ALL THE CREDIT FOR YOURSELF AS WELL" (Sorry not much sleep last night )
