For everyone talking about Trump starting his own TV network, just one question:

When's the last time Trump put his name on anything that actually succeeded?

Trump Airlines
Trump Steaks
Trump Vodka
Trump University
Trump Plaza
Trump Magazine

And one can only cross our fingers and hope....Trump for President.

Sure, Donald. Go ahead and put your name on a TV network. For all the gold you love in your houses, you're pretty much the anti-King Midas. Your network will crash and burn within a year and a half of its launch.

Believe me.

And that's one thing he sure knows how to do.

It might take away the propaganda crown from Fox News.

Ailes would sure enjoy the schadenfreude.

ventures that are sure to fail. Even if they appear to be viable, he manages to bankrupt them anyway. This guy has consistently poor judgement, believe me folks, believe me.
