President Trump’s main goal right now is to continue being the President of the United States for another four years and he is not going to take no for an answer, but his support is shrinking rapidly.
Part of the Commander in Chief’s strategy to achieve this goal has been to send legal teams to states that he suspects could have been subjected to voter fraud or improperly cast ballots and uncover some shred of evidence to support his claims. But his efforts have not been criticized as frivolous and embarrassing, which hasn’t been good for morale.
Now, recent reports suggest that Trump could be well aware of the electoral situation and is attempting to shift into the role of a media mogul.
From Axios:
Some Trump advisers think Fox News made a mistake with an early call (seconded by AP) of President-elect Biden’s win in Arizona. That enraged Trump, and gave him something tangible to use in his attacks on the network.
“He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it,” said a source with detailed knowledge of Trump’s intentions.
There’s been lots of speculation about Trump starting a cable channel. But getting carried on cable systems would be expensive and time-consuming.
Instead, Trump is considering a digital media channel that would stream online, which would be cheaper and quicker to start.
Trump’s digital offering would likely charge a monthly fee to MAGA fans. Many are Fox News viewers, and he’d aim to replace the network — and the $5.99-a-month Fox Nationstreaming service, which has an 85% conversion rate from free trials to paid subscribers — as their top destination.
If these rumors are true, we are left asking ourselves how long President Trump can keep this dispute going at full force.
