Trump TV Draws About 800 Viewers, Replaying White House Content 24/7

Summary
About 800 people were watching Trump TV during the review, with the YouTube stream airing White House-approved footage around the clock and viewership slipping as speeches dragged on.
The programming appeared highly repetitive, cycling through old Trump remarks, Melania Trump’s January AI speech and the February National Prayer Breakfast, with no visible published schedule or standard news-style graphics.
The channel is portrayed as an extension of Donald Trump’s fixation on cable news and his clashes with mainstream outlets after efforts to bar CNN, MSNBC and Politico from White House access backfired.
At one point, the lineup seemed to echo Trump’s feud with former Republican congressman Thomas Massie, suggesting the 24/7 stream may serve political messaging more than audience growth.
