Trump Banned Reporters. Then He Launched Trump TV.

State media, vanity project or just really shitty YouTube?

Hello Danger Corps!

Donald Trump spent Friday banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. By Monday, the White House had launched a 24-hour YouTube stream called Trump TV. You really cannot accuse this administration of subtlety. So Jim and Nick watched the launch and asked the obvious question: are we looking at something genuinely concerning, a giant presidential vanity project, or an operation that will collapse under the unbearable workload of actually having to make television every single day? Then we saw the production quality, and suddenly one of those possibilities started looking considerably stronger. Somebody apparently found the Seinfeld folder and said, “Yeah, ship it.”

The #1 way to support The Dangerous Ones is to become a paid subscriber.


We make TDO because moments like this deserve both scrutiny and ridicule. Laughter and activism belong together, especially when politics gets strange enough that straight news sometimes feels insufficient. The Danger Corps gives us somewhere to understand what’s happening, call bullshit where appropriate and laugh together instead of letting the absurdity grind us down.

Paid subscriptions directly support more episodes, bigger comedy pieces, broader reach and the creative independence to keep making the show without sanding off the sharp edges.

Stay dangerous, keep laughing and get into good trouble. 💙

Warmly,

Jim, Tiffany & Nick
