The White House in the US has launched a 24-hour broadcast of Trump TV: The Essentials Station, which shows Donald Trump's speeches, archival materials, and other videos about the activities of his administration. The launch took place against the backdrop of the president's conflict with a number of American media outlets and the suspension of joint coverage of his events by television networks. This is reported reported by European Pravda.
The broadcast is available on the official website of the administration and YouTube's White House channel. According to the description, the channel is to operate 24/7 and be updated in real-time. The first broadcast was Trump's speech at Mount Rushmore on July 3. In the future, the channel is to show key presidential speeches, important statements, and other selected administration materials.
"Trump TV" was launched shortly after Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico journalists from access to the White House. The president accused these media outlets of spreading "fake news." In response, three media outlets filed a federal lawsuit demanding that access for their journalists to the White House complex be restored.

Major American television networks joined the protest against the administration's decision. FOX News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News announced the suspension of joint television coverage of events involving Trump.
The conflict also affected the coverage of the president's events. In particular, on September 21, the television pool did not provide the usual broadcast of his event to open a new helipad near the White House, cutting off the sound.
At the same time, the White House continues to publish its own video materials and broadcasts on its official resources. Trump TV is described as a place where the "most important moments" of the administration's work, speeches, and other selected videos are gathered.
