President Trump, frustrated with news coverage as he faces an impeachment inquiry, suggested on Thursday the idea of starting a new television network.
The suggestion came after Trump attacked CNN, specifically CNN International, at a Medicare event in Florida. Trump said the news network is so bad and called it a terrible thing for our country.
We ought to start our own network and put some real news out there, Trump said.
Trump added, We really are, we are looking at that. We should do something about it too. Put some really talented people and get a real voice out there, not a voice thats fake.

I DONT KNOW, which is why I am asking :)
Can a POTUS be involved with starting up a network while in office?
Thanks in advance.
His business interests are separate from him while he’s in the White House, but Don, Jr. and Eric sure can.
‘This’ is what ‘push back’ looks like.
It would be glorious.
Legally I don’t know. But it would be perceived as a major conflict of interest.
Yes. Absolutely. Also start replacements for Facebook and Instagram. I already use Bing instead of Google.
NPR was Obama’s personal network
Can? Probably.
Should? Probably not.
Can a President's sons do the job?
Certainly.
Should they?
Certainly.
Call it the Patriot Broadcasting Corporation ...
“His business interests are separate from him while hes in the White House”
Of course they are.
Media is the #1 problem in this country today. If we had real journalists reporting the truth, the swamp wouldn’t need to be drained as these scumrats would be either out of office or in jail.
Maybe he can technically (probably not). I guess the kids wouldn’t be able to, either while he’s in office.
But he has wealthy friends who can, and should.
Forget another Presidential Library. If he spent his time after 8 years building a Trump News Network competing with the Leftist Media it would be one of his greatest legacies.
Bet that caused some anal puckers at Fox, where they are busy loading up on rancid Obama lovers. If Trumps sons could hire the Fox & Friends AM crew and Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham, and Lou Dobbs from their business channel, the ratings party would be over for Fox.
I would be glad to watch the new network.
Thanks all.
Even if the kids don’t do it now, Trump can in 2025 and he has the money and DEFINITELY the power, especially after being president for 8 years, to do it.
OR back one.
I dunno :)
WDJT and KDJTm or VOIA-TV Voice of Inner America. I’ve been saying that since he got in office.

Just needs some help.
A good project for Trump in 2025.
Itll really be a help to Pompeo.
WDJT coming to you live from the golden tower in NYC. We are here to rake the fake for our listeners.
You think Secretary Pompeo will run for president in 2024?
