Donald Trump’s Campaign Just Launched A Live Nightly News Show
But don’t call it “Trump TV.”
10/24/2016 08:27 pm ET


Donald Trump’s presidential campaign on Monday began airing a live nightly video news program, fanning speculation that Trump may seek to capitalize on his supporters’ zeal by launching a media network after November’s election.

“This is an effort to bring our message directly to you. You don’t have to take it through the media filter and the spin they put on it,” said Cliff Simms, the Trump adviser who co-hosted the program, which was broadcast on Facebook. “We plan to do this each and every night.”

Co-host Boris Epshteyn, a senior adviser to Trump, insisted the Trump-focused news show was not a test run for anything else. “The left-wing media’s even trying to spin this, believe it or not,” Epshteyn said. “They’re saying, well this is ‘Trump TV.’ That’s not what this is. This is our campaign, and most importantly, our candidate being out there and speaking directly to the voters.”

People, even the deplorables, are going to be very tired of Trump after
this election

Their enthusiasm is already waning

It's about the only thing which could save Trumps rapidly disintegrating empire.

That Boris guy is the absolute worst.

Hitler lost the election. But in 1933 he became Chancellor, started WWII and many millions died.

A Trump supporter's idea of a wonderful dream.

Can you taste the desperation? "We need to bypass other media ...and we need four hours to do it."

LOL: "Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S."

I'm sure it should have read: Donald Trump’s Campaign Just Launched A Live Nightly "News" Show

Maybe with a "wink,wink, nudge, nudge" as well.

"The audience for Wednesday’s show peaked at 200,000 people, according to Politico. Monday’s program began with just shy of 60,000 viewers, and within 30 minutes half the audience had moved on."

Two weeks max. - Trump was so toxic , even his Fox spots dried up so he was driven to this.
