    Trump suggests launching own network

    "President Trump, frustrated with news coverage as he faces an impeachment inquiry, suggested on Thursday the idea of starting a new television network."

    I'd like to say this is a joke, but you just can't make this kind of stuff up.

    Somehow I don't think he can do that as a sitting president without giving free air time to everyone who hates him and those he hates the most. At best, he would have to start it up in a blind trust and keep his meddling hands off the broadcast button.

    That's just my knee jerk reaction, I could easily be wrong and he could set up broadcast equipment in the Lincoln bedroom.

    Fox=Trump. The rest of the US media=anti Trump. Hardly a fair fight.

    He should be looking for ways to communicate less not more.

    Freedom is the right to fail. I would like to see him leave that pustule, Twitter, and do his thing elsewhere.
