On Tuesday, the White House unveiled Trump TV, a live streaming service providing real-time updates on the administration's activities, according to a post on X. The platform debuted with footage of former President Donald Trump's speech at Mount Rushmore. This launch occurred after US television networks, including CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, collectively boycotted Trump's coverage in protest over his decision to ban three major outlets from the White House.
The boycott led to the suspension of White House press pool coverage, impacting events like Trump's opening of a new helipad and his visit to the United Nations General Assembly. CNN, MSNBC, and Politico also filed a lawsuit against Trump's ban, arguing it violated the First Amendment. Despite the controversy, Trump remained defiant, referring to the media as "fake news" and a threat to national security.
