The White House has officially launched a 24/7 streaming platform called Trump TV. After its decision to revoke White House credentials from three major news outlets, the platform has been positioned as a direct channel for presidential content.
In a post on Monday night, September 21, the official White House account on X and Instagram announced the launch with the message:
“Launched. All the top hits, wins, + more. Streaming 24/7 on your phone or TV.” 
The announcement included a link to the White House YouTube channel. The platform streams President Donald Trump’s speeches, administration announcements, past public appearances, and highlights.

What Trump TV Offers
According to the White House, the stream offers:
1. Continuous, real-time video of administration events and announcements
2. Archived speeches and public appearances of the Trump administration
3. Curated “greatest hits” and highlights from the Trump presidency
According to the White House, the platform is a way to ensure Americans can access presidential moments that may not always receive full coverage on traditional television.
The launch of Trump TV has heightened an already sharp dispute between the administration and parts of the mainstream media.

The launch comes days after the White House barred reporters from CNN, MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), and Politico from the premises. President Trump announced the ban on Friday, accusing the news outlets of consistently reporting “fake news.”
CNN, MS NOW and Politico have since filed a lawsuit challenging the restrictions, arguing that the ban violates the First Amendment.
In response and solidarity, several major television networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News, have also suspended their participation in the traditional White House television pool coverage.
Critics have described the platform as an attempt to create a form of “state television.” The White House, on the other hand, presents it as a necessary alternative after what it calls unfair and inaccurate coverage by certain news outlets.
