Trying to find post from yesterday observing that Trump's real goal is a RW TV network.

I really thought it was perceptive and spot on, because it aligns with my views (of course ; ). heh

I didn't save it and I'd really like to share that post with others.

He spent a lot of time talking about the media. I'm waiting for his supporters to start attacking people covering Trump, it seems like it is only a matter of time.

I've seen others, but he was very convincing. That should help narrow it down.

Or something like that.

I don't think that many people would subscribe to a Trump channel because there are currently lots of vacant rooms at his new DC hotel, and he's lowered the regular room price by almost half, and the suite price has gone from over $2000 per night to around $1500. I check the website occasionally to watch how he's damaging his brand. Also, the owners of two buildings with his name on them have taken his name off. One's in Toronto, and one is in NYC.

I don't remember which thread it was. I must not have posted in the thread because I don't recognize any OP titles as being the one that post was in. I did a site search, but only yours came up. It said something about 15 million, $19.something per month, and 3.something billion per year. It wasn't quoting a news story. It was someone's prediction.

Wish I could find it for you.

It's been a rumor for awhile.

It wouldn't surprise me if Russian oligarchs helped fund it!

Don't assume a great post will still be there.
