Carousel by The Washington Post
The Washington Post@washingtonpost Before watching Trump TV, The Post’s Monica Hesse writes, I was hoping for a full day of opening numbers. Razzle-dazzle. A girl can dream. Trump TV has no news anchors or reporters. It has no chyrons or voice-overs. There is no host to explain to you what you are seeing, or why you are seeing it. When I nodded off in the middle of the night, the channel was showing a military exercise involving Navy SEALs on dirt bikes. All of this was in response to the question: What happens when the most television-obsessed president finds himself without a direct line to network television?

@donico73 I don't want Authoritarian State Television. I believe in Freedoms of the Press. Lawbreaking is too easy when there aren't journalists to report on the truth. I am a proud American and I stand by the US Constitution.

@mamavalveeta03 And what did the other 5 viewers think about Trump TV?
@meowshamazam I’ve been waiting for many years for him to finally start up his reality show from the White House. Now I can say I was right. Ummm. Yay?
@coach.e_haywood So, not like CSPAN..
@b_monkey_boy Give it time. They'll figure it out
@pechiilinda The U.S. has become the new Venezuela
@depre_anytime He's mediocre even at copying the homework of the dictators he openly admire...
@astridbrand_2 You're watching history and don't even know it. He's documenting it in real time.
@schroedingersotter Soon the first pay per views I would venture to guess, all for Trump to pocket
@absurd_hero Community Access TV . Not even good as the Uncle Floyd Show or ZummaDogg.
