When he’s not in court defending himself, Donald Trump reportedly would like to create a media empire after he loses the November election, reports Vanity Fair.

Trump is indeed considering creating his own media business, built on the audience that has supported him thus far in his bid to become the next president of the United States. According to several people briefed on the discussions, the presumptive Republican nominee is examining the opportunity presented by the “audience” currently supporting him. He has also discussed the possibility of launching a “mini-media conglomerate” outside of his existing TV-production business, Trump Productions LLC. He has, according to one of these people, enlisted the consultation of his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who owns the The New York Observer. Trump’s rationale, according to this person, is that, “win or lose, we are onto something here. We’ve triggered a base of the population that hasn’t had a voice in a long time.” For his part, Kushner was heard at a New York dinner party saying that “the people here don’t understand what I’m seeing. You go to these arenas and people go crazy for him.” (Both Kushner and Ivanka Trump did not respond to a request for comment.)

    ok, Trump has seen how lucrative propaganda really can be…but Trump being Trump, he should name it “Chapter 11 Network”…Ethically Bankrupt, Morally Deceitful…

    After November, Trump will need a huge media empire to spin his reputation as one of the biggest losers in US history.

    Now that his BFF Putin has given him everything the Dems have on him, what else can he do but create a propaganda machine? The lies will be coming out ten fold.

    That will join the multitude of outlets – shopping channels, Spanish language, religious, “reality” networks, music channels, premium channels – that I already don’t watch. Hundreds of channels, not a damn on worth watching.

    Yet another character flaw that Trump and Palin share:
    Both are motivated by greed and view the political scene as an opportunity to grift.

    More proof he was never running to win, he just wants to be the voice of racist, bigots from sea to shining sea.

    If ever we’ve needed to re-instate the Fairness Doctrine, it is now.
    The last thing we need is Murdoch vs Trump on our airwaves.
    Glass-Steagall & the Fairness Doctrine… with the resumption of those two we can bring this idiocy back to some semblance of reality. Removal of their cash cow & their propaganda machine would be devastating to the greedy Gekko liars.

    Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Sarah Palin TeeVee escapades….
    He has the bankruptcy papers already drawn up.
