Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is not interested in starting a television network if he loses the election, despite reports to the contrary and his campaign’s recent habit of hosting nightly live broadcasts on Facebook.
Trump told Cincinnati radio station WLW that although he has an “incredible” base of supporters, he has no interest in creating his own network, according to CNN Money.
“No, I have no interest in Trump TV,” Trump said. “I hear it all over the place. I have a tremendous fan base, we have a tremendous base. We have the most incredible people, but I just don’t have any interest in that. I have one interest, that’s on November 8th.”
Rumors of a Trump-masterminded TV network swirled following the GOP nominee’s continued attacks against “the media” for being biased against him. His campaign now is holding Facebook live broadcasts each night until the election, in which they say they’ll deliver unskewed news about Trump.
Many speculated that those live broadcasts were a trial run for an eventual network news channel, but Trump appeared to put those theories to bed, saying he’s focused on winning swing states.
“So, no, I have no interest in beyond that, I have interest in making America great again,” he told WLW.
Translation - his test broadcast last night stunk as bigly as his campaign and he couldn’t get enough suckers, er, investors, to move ahead since he doesn’t want to use his own money.
Sounds like Kelly Ann Conway had the last word with him…just wait a couple hours…
And he doesn’t have to be the one actually launching it. He could merely be the main star.
Which means he’ll definitely launch it.
Exactly what I thought or if not a television network, some other sort of media venture. Tweets o’Trump?
“No, I have no interest in Trump TV”
Great!
Neither do I.
