Trump will buy Newsmax and OANN, siphon the "talent" and assemble his Justice League of wonderful people like Alex Jones, Shapiro, Glenn Beck, etc.

Anyone dreading this?

I was thinking about this this morning. Trump is definitely investing into OANN and/or Newsmax if not buying them outright.

(Assuming he can pry the cash from somebody's hands)

If it some how becomes a reality I'll just avoid it entirely but I wouldn't be surprised if some broadcast commission got involved due to the nature of the content if it became too hardcore.

Honestly, I'd rather that than see people peddling that sort of crap on mainstream channels. Even Fox for all it's right-wing hyperbole will still have a viewership that's predominantly conservative rather than fringe. Send all these nutjobs off into their own little sphere.

Wonder how long before we see him peddling Brain Force Plus?

Here's to it either crashing & burning or crashing & burning & taking Fox and/or the entire YT alt-right complex with it.

Get his ass out of office and prosecute him and his family for state crimes and I could give a shit.

I've been mentally preparing for Trump TV for like 4 years now but at this point I kinda doubt it's actually going to happen.

I'd have to remove 99% of my braincells in order to be mentally prepared for such a thing

Anyone that tells me they watch it will automatically flip a switch in my mind that tells me their words are without any wisdom.

Buy Newsmax and OANN? With what money?

In Don Jr's best attempt at mister moviephone voice "The Cheeto ex Prez blabber shouty hour now presented by My Pillow!"

I don't have to watch it, so no.

This is the best mentality in regards to the mess that is Trump with a TV show/network.

-Trump is going to become a TV/Twitter evangelist for his cult, just without the pretense of religion being bandied about.

I still don't get how that's supposed to work.

Like, to run a nationwide cable station, you need ad money, and i don't feel like there's a lot of big coroporations who're going to touch a TrumpTV (which is going to be more extreme than Fox News; where advertisers can still pretendtobeshocked.gif whenever they cross a certain line) with a ten foot pole.

Meanwhile, if they run a "mostly online" operation, their reach should be negligible.

A TV network with 3rd Reich sympathisers as presenters and KKK affiliates as guests?

Who would want to miss that kind of entertainment? Plus, it will help people with anger issues.

Trump is the right wing media's puppet not the puppeteer, it would be amazing if he did try to muscle in on it because that will be a sure fire sign that it's going to crash and burn.

He'll get s segment/show at best.
Prob rather keep him at distance and invite from time to time. I figure that while the others are clearly assholes, they can probably at least turn off their personas and have some semblance of an adult conversation - Trump can't do that. He is just an unintelligent manbaby.

It's w/e Trump won't pay the bills so it will be shuttered within 2-4 years.

He's a piece of shit anyway but doesn't Shapiro hate Trump? I don't think he'd be involved.

What's the core difference compared to what already exists? If anything, it's better if they splinter off, isn't it? In the sense that they can be singled out, anyway.

I think they're on a break, yeah, but I don't know nor would I bet one way or the other lol. There is no shame.

Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro? Where do I sign up? As Terrell Owens once said "I hope you got your popcorn ready."

Won't be watching and honestly hope no one will be making threads about genuinely a fake news station. It's pointless.

Oh no, this will ruin all the good things that OANN and Newsmax do for the media.

Nothing there will change. They're already basically a wing of the Trump Org, this'll just put a hat on it.

It's sad to think that Trump is one of the most corrupt President's in the history of the USA, and people still expect him to walk off scot-free from office.
