The White House has launched Trump TV, a round-the-clock streaming service featuring presidential speeches, administration announcements and selected moments from Trump’s presidency.
The stream will also feature past highlights, new updates and moments that viewers may have missed on television. The White House website now lists a dedicated Trump TV feed alongside its live-event service.
The launch comes shortly after Trump banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW from the White House. The three outlets sued the Trump administration Monday over the ban.
According to a statement by The White House, Trump TV is a White House streaming service that includes a YouTube feed. Its programming includes archival speeches and administration updates.
The White House described the stream as bringing “top past moments, announcements, and the latest and greatest from the Administration all in one place.” In a social media post, the White House added, “Not every big moment has made it on your TV, now it can.”

Kaelan Dorr, a deputy assistant to the president and head of digital strategy at the White House, posted on social media that Trump TV would feature “the Administration’s greatest hits, unfiltered.”
Dorr added, “The press, in some cases, reported inaccurately or not at all on the Administration’s many record-breaking accomplishments on behalf of all Americans.”
The rollout drew significant backlash, with critics pointing to its timing so soon after the White House barred the three news outlets. Some critics characterized the move as an attempt to control the narrative surrounding the president.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom described Trump TV as “state-run.”
“First, Trump banned independent news from the White House,” Newsom posted on X. “Now, he’s launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people. This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.”

Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona also criticized the Trump administration’s recent actions in a social media post.
“State run media, state owned enterprises, prosecuting political opponents, gifts from foreign countries, selling pardons, massive amounts of money flowing into the President’s bank account, and banners with his head plastered on government buildings. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL,” Kelly wrote.
Before the launch of Trump TV, former White House Correspondents’ Association President and CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang had warned on Fox News Sunday about what she described as increased attempts by the government to control news coverage.
“America cannot have state TV,” Jiang said. “That’s what makes America America … You need independent actors to be able to be the observers. And if the government is only showing you what it wants, then you have to question: What are we missing?”
