Confirmed by Trump insider: 'Trump TV' is Plan B after election

[Siwsan]

(I am not familiar with 'The Washington Examiner', but this article pretty much reflects what a lot of us have been saying.)

According to national polls the presidential race is tightening, but Electoral College map projections show that Donald Trump's path to winning 270 electoral votes resembles a tightrope more than an actual path. Strategists from both parties are now quietly betting that Trump will win slightly more or less than McCain's 2008 electoral vote total of 179 or Romney's 2012 total of 206. It appears as if the Electoral College's "blue barrier" will be the real obstacle to Trump's wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

Trump's impending defeat is leading to a chorus of media speculation about his post-election plans. The two most oft-cited assumptions are:

Trump will not quietly fade into the background.

Trump will eventually launch a "Trump TV" media venture.

After speaking with a well-informed Trump insider (name asked to be withheld), I can confirm that both assumptions are true.

Let's take a deeper dive.

Given Trump's addiction to media attention, it is impossible to believe that after November 8, he will retreat quietly into his Fifth Avenue tower presiding over board meetings with no television cameras. After all, this is the A-list celebrity businessman who, in his first attempt at elective office crafted a simple message, tapped into national angst and galvanized a powerful movement of passionate "fed-up" voters. Along the way he captured countless hours of free media coverage, leveraged social media to the max, defeated his numerous primary opponents and parlayed all his talents into winning the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

Unfortunately, for the sake of national unity, the intense voter frustration that fuels the "fed-up" movement will not dissipate once the scandal-plagued "Madame President" rules over Washington. In fact, both Clintons residing in the White House is likely to usher in an intense era of hyper-polarization led directly or indirectly by Trump himself. Contributing to that sentiment, a recent Politico headline read:

"Trump's new aim: Poison a Clinton presidency."

2. In my opinion

Trump never intended to be President. He is doing his best to feed the anger that some people have felt since America elected a black president.

IMHO, he will be unable to walk away from a potential billion dollar news channel and will do his best to come close, but not win, the election.

3. Trump TV will only last a week

I can't imagine any sponsors besides JimmyJoe's Pork Rinds
and some reverse mortgage scam actually spending ad dollars
on such a lackluster audience with zero spending power.

4. Trump is a promoter not a busiess executive He doesn't have the patience or skill to run a media

company which requires an owners attention and commitment to an ongoing business concern rather than a one time deal

Trump TV would be like DeNiros character Ace Rothstein in Casino, starting a TV network in his Casino devoted entirely to bitching about all the haters and liars attacking his reputation

In other words another Trump vanity project with a lifespan measured in months

5. He doesn't have the patience or skills to do much of anything, successfully

I'm thinking his plan would be to try and attract as many Fox News employed people. And since they seem to be fleeing that network, anyway, they just might be available.

But I totally agree it would likely be a disastrous enterprise.
