Live from Trump Tower, the Ultimate Conspiracy
Yahoo NewsTrump’s feed, streaming live from the “war room” in Trump Tower, is remarkable in that it self-consciously mimics everything about your conventional cable show. There’s lively banter between the hosts, a parade of genial guests who appear to have just dropped in, a platinum blond bomb-throwing commentator with no particular qualifications in anything. There’s breaking coverage of Trump’s evening rally, perfectly timed to make air.
It shows you, basically, how easy it is for any moron with a laptop and a dream to perfectly imitate the cheerful vacuousness of most TV news.
In its content, though, Trump Tower TV is essentially a long and monotonous infomercial. On Trump’s nightly feed, he’s winning the election handily, crushing it in early voting, surging in swing states, humiliating the media and their pollsters. It’s a full-on rout.
The feed isn’t hurting for A-list guests. On the first night, Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, showed up, looking vaguely embarrassed and vowing to win a campaign she has zero expectation of winning.
