The White House launched the "Trump TV" broadcast overnight on September 22, which will show 24/7 coverage of US President Donald Trump’s speeches and events held by his administration, according to a White House post on the social media platform X.
The new project was launched on the official White House YouTube channel. The broadcast began at night, featuring footage of Trump’s 2024 inauguration.
According to the announcement, viewers will see the president's key speeches, the most interesting video recordings, and compilations of highlights.
"TRUMP TV IS STREAMING NOW. 24/7, updated in real time, with top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the administration all in one place. Not every big moment has made it on your tv, now it can," the announcement stated.
The launch of such a project comes against the backdrop of Trump's conflict with American media. In particular, on September 18, the US president stated that he was banning journalists from CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from visiting the White House.
In response, five major television channels belonging to the presidential press pool, namely ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and even Fox News, suspended joint video coverage of Trump's events.
Media outlets note that television channels usually take turns providing a camera crew that accompanies the president and shares video recordings from meetings with other media organizations.
Thus, on September 21, this duty fell to CNN, but the White House excluded it from the schedule. As a result, the remaining pool members refused to provide a replacement. They emphasized that the public is interested in receiving independent information about the government's work, and the administration, in turn, should not restrict media access based on the content of their posts.
As a result, the refusal by the television channels led to the opening ceremony of the new White House helicopter pad taking place without television coverage. The Trump administration attempted to broadcast the event itself, but due to the noise of the helicopter, Trump’s words were barely audible as there were no microphones from the television channels.
What else is important to know
Yesterday it became known that CNN, MSNBC, and Politico had sued US President Donald Trump and his administration over the ban on journalists working at the White House. The first hearings in the case are expected this week.
