The Donald Trump campaign on Monday launched a nightly show on Facebook live with updates from the campaign’s headquarters in Trump Tower.

Trump’s Facebook page billed the video update as “nightly campaign coverage.” In Monday night’s live video, Trump advisers Boris Epshteyn and Cliff Sims began by interviewing campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who assured Trump supporters that he will win the presidential election. The campaign will start streaming each night around 6:30 p.m. ET to air Trump’s rallies live and offer commentary on the campaign.

Sims pitched the campaign’s Facebook live updates as an alternative to reading about the Trump campaign in the news.

“This is just an effort by us to reach out to you guys, give you the message straight from the campaign. You don’t have to take it through the media filter and the spin they put on it. You can hear it from us directly,” he said.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has railed against the media, claiming that the press has helped rig the election against him.

  2. No media filters? Awesome—it’s about time these nice, wholesome, and very patriotic Americans can take their message to the people without the interference of the cuck Jewish media elites who are rigging the election for Crooked Hillary. And don’t forget those Jewish financiers who are all supporting Clinton.

  3. Facebook? Really?

    SAD!

  4. I guess Netflix was too low-energy, pathetic, fading and on the way down to be BRAVE enough to Make America Grate Again. :slight_smile:

  5. I, for one, can’t wait to find out whose advertising on Trump TV. I’m thinking rates will fall faster than room rates at the Trump International Hotel Washington. Just sayin’.
