White House Launches 'Trump TV' as a YouTube Livestream Featuring Reruns
The White House has launched a 24/7 YouTube livestream dubbed “Trump TV,” which replays archived footage of President Donald Trump’s speeches, bill signings, and other events. The initiative was announced by Kaelan Dorr, the administration's head of digital strategy, who described it as showcasing Trump’s 'greatest hits' unfiltered. The launch occurred shortly after CNN, MS Now, and Politico were banned from White House access, prompting criticism that “Trump TV” is a form of state-run media. Governor Gavin Newsom labeled it such, while the affected news organizations have sued the administration over press freedom concerns. The move has drawn backlash from major networks like ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC. The livestream's content includes clips reminiscent of popular shows like *Seinfeld* and *Family Guy*, suggesting a curated approach to media presentation.
