For the past few months, I've posited that Trump TV will not be possible. Here's a link to my latest explanation why Donald Trump cannot create a cable network:

But here's an even better viewpoint from TPM's Josh Marshall:

A cable television channel is an extremely complex and expensive operation. Is there anything in Donald Trump's past business experience that suggests that he could succeed in such a difficult endeavor?

(269,004 posts)Trump has been surprisingly stingy with his own money through the final critical months of the fall. His digital ads mainly have the look of pump and dump con artist type outfits. Do you see them on Facebook? They're comical.

(22,037 posts)It's really quite surprising since he always says that his stuff will be the greatest, the best, the most successful, etc.
Donald Trump is a failure and an idiot.

(19,984 posts)Like all his other crap, he'd hire somebody with some know-how to do it all and then slap his name on it and veto anything he doesn't like.
That said, El Cheapo is indeed likely too cheap to put up the kind of money it would take to get it off the ground and keep it there.
