According to multiple reports, the White House launched “Trump TV: The Essentials Station” — a 24/7 streaming channel — on Monday, September 21, 2026, through its official White House YouTube account. Rawstory's article, "'Trump TV' already a flop as viewership immediately collapses" by Travis Gettys is the source for this survey.

President Donald Trump's attempt to replace mainstream television coverage with his own 24-hour livestream has drawn a fraction of the audience he predicted, in another humiliating flop for the former reality TV star. The audience never materialized for his alternative programming after NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox News suspended their pooled coverage of the president in solidarity with CNN, MS NOW and Politico, whose reporters had their White House credentials revoked days earlier, reported The Daily Beast. Would you ever watch "Trump TV" to get your news?

The YouTube stream opened Monday evening with about 8,000 viewers, but that number fell below 4,000 within 90 minutes and to roughly 3,000 by 9 p.m. Eastern. By 10:40 p.m., only 2,425 people were watching — a sliver of the channel's 3.18 million subscribers. Deputy White House assistant Kaelan Dorr had hyped the channel as a corrective to outlets he said had "reported inaccurately or not at all on the Administration's many record-breaking accomplishments." This question's digital image is AI generated. Do you think that President Trump has had 'many record-breaking accomplishments' that have helped the USA's citizens in a positive way?
