I can't believe anyone would go into this for a straight investment, unless short-term. It, of course, has potential to be a political tool for wealthy people who want to turn a few screws.

It didn't work out at all in the long run, but that initial attempt gave them cover with established media enough that they were still treated like other reporters. TrumpTV will get no such benefit of the doubt, and won't achieve the same result as Fox.

Even his supporters know he's a total fraud, they're just holding out hope, that something happens to Hillary causing her to drop out

Once they realize Trump can't deliver the hardcore racism he promised them, they will drop him like a bad habit.
