Donald Trump has spent the past few weeks insisting the “corrupt” media is rigging the election, so it makes perfect sense that he’s still eyeing a network of his own!
It’s been reported that Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump‘s husband, has briefly met with one of the media industry’s top dealmakers about the possibility of creating a Trump television network after in case he loses the presidential election in November!
According to the Financial Times, Trump’s son-in-law has been having conversations with Aryeh Bourkoff, the founder of boutique investment bank LionTree, over the past few months.

Insiders say Trump’s confidantes have met to discuss ways to capitalize on the populist movement that has come through his campaign in the event he loses to Hillary Clinton next month.
The possibility of a Trump TV network has been speculated since Vanity Fair reported that the candidate and his advisors were exploring the idea earlier this summer.
For what it’s worth, the Republican nominee said these claims were a “false rumor” last month, telling The Washington Post he has “no interest in a media company.”
But seeing as Trump quite a history of straight up denying his outrageous statements, we’ll just sit back and wait to see if OAN (Orange Anus Network) actually comes to fruition.
In the meantime, Twitter is having fun with the endless possibilities of #TrumpTV…
