The White House has launched “Trump TV,” a service broadcasting speeches by President Trump and other content 24 hours a day. It is reportedly a countermeasure following a boycott of White House coverage by major television networks, and attention is focused on its future viewership.
The White House has launched “Trump TV,” a service broadcasting speeches by President Trump and other content 24 hours a day through a video-sharing site. It is positioned as a response to other networks’ backlash over the incident involving the removal of a CNN reporter from the White House.
The administration has so far streamed events such as summit meetings on its official YouTube channel, but reportedly often quoted footage from major networks when posting impromptu responses to reporters on X (formerly Twitter).
President Trump has claimed that established media outlets continue to report negatively on his administration and the Republican Party. The White House has described Trump TV as providing access to “important moments that have not been televised.” The television networks targeted by the boycott include FOX News.
