Days after President Donald Trump barred reporters from three major news outlets from covering the White House, the administration launched a 24‑hour YouTube channel dubbed “Trump TV.” The new channel promises to place the administration’s “biggest moments all in one place,” according to a statement released by the White House.

The channel, which streams continuously on YouTube, is intended to serve as a direct outlet for the president’s speeches, briefings and other official events, bypassing traditional news intermediaries.

The launch follows a recent escalation in the administration’s tensions with the press, highlighted by the decision to exclude reporters from three prominent outlets from White House coverage.

White House officials said the platform will allow the public to access unfiltered video of the president’s activities at any time, reinforcing the administration’s push for direct communication with the American people.

Critics have noted the timing of the launch, suggesting it reflects a broader strategy to control the narrative after the recent media restrictions, though the White House has framed the channel as a service to keep citizens informed.
