What will it do to Republicans if/when IMPOTUS starts his own media outlet?

[mcar]

Or takes his "talents" to OAN or Newsmax?

SO and I are thinking that IMPOTUS' cultists will follow him - they aren't really Republicans, after all.

What will all those Republican legislators who have hitched their stars to Dotard's wagon do? What will Fox "News" do?

With all the news articles interviewing the poor, misunderstood Trump voter, has there been any discussion among the punditocracy of Trump fracturing the Republican party?

2. Good riddance. The sooner they leave the sooner they stop polluting the mainstream.

[mcar]

7. I agree

I'm just enjoying the prospect of Republicans being pulled in 2 directions - do they pander to the cultists or stay with the RWNJs.

3. It will be interesting should that occur

I am hoping that he doesn't get the chance and is too busy spending quality time and lots of money with his attorneys trying to defend himself from all the nonsense he has done over the years.

[mcar]

8. That's very likely

He may just spend his time whinging on OAN.

4. It's going to be lame

A stupid online service. There’s lots of crap out there and Donny will have another online service.

9. Most stupid online services don't have a pre-baked listenership of

30 million rubes.

15. 30 million is nothing

Pawdiepie has 107 million

Watch where Hannity and Carlson go or stay.

They will choose whichever they figure gives them the bigger audience.

6. Sit back and watch it fail like every other Trump venture.

Everything Trump touches dies. He set off the demise of Fox "News." If he manages to start his own network, he will kill that, too. I have my doubts he will be able to get anything off the ground. Especially not with Letitia James waiting in the wings for him. And, if he thinks he's destroying all the evidence of the crimes he has committed over the past 4 years, he is even more deluded than we believe.

[mcar]

10. This is true

But I'd love to see it - and see Fox's ratings nosedive when Trump's cultists follow him.

[brush]

11. Just who is going to back his broke ass in a new media venture?

He owes nearly a billion dollars which he had to give a personal guarantee (no corporation protection) because he stiffed so many other lenders with his multiple bankruptcies, plus he's got huge legal jeopardy about to befall him once he's out of office.

He might get hired by an existing winger network, but starting his own venture? I doubt it.

[mcar]

12. Good point

They could continue to get a steady stream of donations from the cult members, I suppose.

[Wellstone ruled]

17. Plus,AG Ms. James

from New York will put a major plug in his Pie Hole as she dismantles his Crime Syndicate. Gag orders have consequences.

13. Pawdiepie has 107 million subscribers

How much does Pawdiepie affect you day to day

[BlueNProud]

14. Who's going to pay for this new Dump TV?

Dump will sit in front of the TV tweeting his life away and appear regularly on FUX. He can't sit still long enough to actually build something.

[tinrobot]

16. Like everything he touches, it will fail.

Building a successful media outlet takes a lot of time and hard work.

He has no interest in either.

[malaise]

18. His media business will fail like everything else

in his life
