Donald Trump’s inner circle may already be eyeing his next act, according to a handful of recent reports. Citing an anonymous source, the Financial Times reported on Monday that Jared Kushner, the husband of Trump’s daughter Ivanka, had approached an investment banker who specializes in media deals about the prospect of starting a Trump TV network. That follows a June report by Vanity Fair, also anonymously sourced, that claimed Trump hoped to follow his presidential run by founding his own media company. Putting aside the question of whether Trump is truly putting us through this whole ordeal just so he can have his own TV channel, it’s worth considering: How would he actually go about doing it?
There are two paths one could take to launch Trump TV—and they’re not mutually exclusive.
