Trump considering starting his own cable tv empire Trump News

[brendablethyn 536]

Trump is indeed considering creating his own media business, built on the audience that has supported him thus far in his bid to become the next president of the United States. According to several people briefed on the discussions, the presumptive Republican nominee is examining the opportunity presented by the “audience” currently supporting him. He has also discussed the possibility of launching a “mini-media conglomerate” outside of his existing TV-production business, Trump Productions LLC. He has, according to one of these people, enlisted the consultation of his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who owns the The New York Observer. Trump’s rationale, according to this person, is that, “win or lose, we are onto something here. We’ve triggered a base of the population that hasn’t had a voice in a long time.”

Trump, this person close to the matter suggests, has become irked by his ability to create revenue for other media organizations without being able to take a cut himself. Such a situation “brings him to the conclusion that he has the business acumen and the ratings for his own network.” Trump has “gotten the bug,” according to this person. “So now he wants to figure out if he can monetize it.”

Oh cool a presidential nominee that wants to own a media news outlet. I don't see how that could potentially be dangerous or abused

This reminds me a bit of the comunism lol

Is this really just his backup plan for when he loses the presidency?   

It sounds like a terrible idea though; basically propaganda and censorship galore. We don't need another media conglomerate that's rife with unethical journalistic practices with a clearly Racist, Conservative, Christian White Male agenda (Looking at you Fox News  )

What? The Alex Jones conspiracy theorists? He a;ready has his own channel: 

If anything, Alex Jones should capitilize on this and SNATCH Trump's base.

I hope he does so its competition for Fox News. This is what I hoped he would do. Fox News tried to keep him from winning the nomination so this is his revenge.

I actually think that advertising himself was the plan all along, but then people took him way to seriously so he just decided to go with it.
