The White House turned on “Trump TV: The Essentials Station” at 7 p.m. Eastern, a 24-hour stream on its YouTube channel. Top videos, major remarks, highlights updated in real time, the account said. “Not every big moment has made it on your TV, now it can.” The first tape was not Monday. It was Mount Rushmore, July 3. Then the 2025 inauguration. The Politics desk files a station that started with the archive.
Friday, Trump barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House for “FAKE NEWS.” The three sued in federal court this morning: the government does not decide what the press reports. Judge Tim Kelly — a Trump appointee, the president noted, and the judge who ruled for Jim Acosta. Trump said they will appeal. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox suspended the television pool. They skipped the Mamdani meeting and the new granite helipad. Marine One was loud. There was no boom mic. The White House posted the pictures anyway.
Not every big moment has made it on your TV, now it can.
In New York, Trump called it biased news and said if they’re fake he has an obligation not to allow them. The Politics desk files Monday night as it is: a channel with his name on it, three newsrooms in court, and a pool that sat down.
