Welcome To The Trump Show: Trump Just Launched Own News Show On Facebook

Welcome to the Trump Show!

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump already kicked off and it will air on Donald Trump's Facebook page every night via Facebook Live at the Trump Tower. The nightly news program sent an email blast to its followers to tune into "Trump Tower Live" and the broadcast will last for thirty-minutes, according to Fox News. The inaugural episode featured Trump's campaign manager Kelly Anne Conway and Jason Miller, Trump adviser.

Boris Epshteyn, senior adviser of Donald Trump, which is a co-host said, "This is our campaign and most importantly our candidate being out there and speaking directly to the voters, directly to the viewers. We are excited to be bypassing the left-wing media, which screws everything up."

While Cliff Sims, another co-host of the show and a conservative commentator, added, "It would be malpractice on our part if we didn't utilize the massive online platform that he has to take his vision, his message to 'Make America Great Again' directly to the people."

The livestream will show Trump's rallies and pre and post commentary of events. Rumors have spread about a possible "Trump TV" when reports about his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were talking to media outlets in case the candidate loses the presidential race in November. However, the mogul discredited the rumors himself, pointing that he has no interest in such a thing, Wired published.

The aim of the show is to directly communicate with the voters through Facebook, but ratings might not what the campaign anticipated. Fox News detailed, the pilot drew more than 50,000 viewers initially and then, gradually lost more than half of its audience as the show progressed.

Trump has been vocally expressing his dismay about the news outlets being biased and letting his Florida supporters know that "The media isn't just against me. They're against all of you. They're against what we represent," the site added.
