Former President Trump launches personal TV channel

Former President Donald Trump announced the launch of “TRUTH TV,” a subscription‑based streaming channel that will deliver his commentary, interviews, and archival footage directly to viewers. The venture, unveiled during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, is positioned as an alternative to mainstream media outlets that Trump has repeatedly criticized. The channel will be available through the platform’s website and major streaming services, with a monthly fee of $9.99.

The announcement comes amid a growing dispute between Trump’s media operation and the White House press pool, which has raised concerns about access and coverage of the administration’s activities. Reporters’ associations have noted that the new channel could further fragment the media landscape, while White House officials have emphasized their commitment to transparency through traditional press briefings. No official response has been issued by the current administration regarding the potential impact on official communications.

Analysts suggest the launch reflects Trump’s broader strategy to maintain a direct line to his supporters while bypassing conventional news outlets. The channel’s rollout is scheduled for early next month, with plans to expand programming to include live events and guest appearances. Its reception will likely influence ongoing debates over media bias, press freedom, and the role of private platforms in political discourse.
