Trump Looking at Buying a Media Company

Trump Looking at Buying a Media Company

"SNIP.........


New York Times: “As comfortable as Mr. Trump may feel with Mr. Bannon’s style of politics, their unconventional alliance, and the possibility that the coming weeks could resemble a conservative publicity tour more than a conventional White House run, fueled speculation that Mr. Trump was already looking past November.”

“In recent months, Mr. Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have quietly explored becoming involved with a media holding, either by investing in one or by taking one over, according to a person close to Mr. Trump who was briefed on those discussions.”

not that I would want to see him successfully run a Trump media network.

Bannon is low rent, and I can't see him running anything pretending to be mainstream.

With Trump involved at all, though, it would probably end up a clusterfuck. Like his steaks.

no doubt he sees more money in "losing" than in winning.
