I agree with your analysis but not your conclusion. You are right that Trump is not a Republican, or even a traditional, institutional conservative. They will hate him, and he hates them. But all of this is I think why he will be motivated to do something like Trump TV. If he loses his election (on

If I thought Trump TV would be a conservative network, I'd agree with you, but consider a network branded to Trump's whims, just like his campaign. No ideology, no concrete principles or values... let Trump be Trump. To me, it is media hell, but millions of Americans are currently buying what he's

I agree with PGage on this one. If all Trump had was a rickety soapbox to stand on, he'd use it to stroke his ego and spout off, Alex Jones style. It is not a stretch to imagine Trump and Roger Ailes collaborating to establish -- not just a TV station -- but a media network, with streaming online

I see. So the argument is not that he can't do a web-based Trump TV, but that it is not what he wants, because it could not challenge the media big boys. I am not so sure about that though. Yes, he has a bigely and fragile ego, but I think that what that ego wants is not so much to challenge Fox N

I am not understanding why a web based "Trump TV" is capital prohibitive? Can't they just have a parade of Alt-Righties doing hour long faux news reports, 2 hour commentary/interviews, and talk-radio type call-ins for 12 hours a day and do ads, maybe with some premium ad-free content? Trump does no

His brand is bolstered by his antics, just as Paris Hilton bolsters the Hilton brand... no such thing as bad publicity. If Trump's cult of rich white men wants it, they can find the funds to create a network for him to mouth off, but I suspect, as was the case when Romney lost, that Trump will los

Two articles out today say no. One looks only at a cable channel and the other considers Cable TV and a subscription streaming service. Both say that a startup would cost cost hundreds of millions and would take years to break even. Trump does not put his own money into projects and his reputation
