The newest endeavor for Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), is to launch a subscription streaming service in the vein of Netflix or Hulu, but strictly with content that can be considered "non-woke." Per THR, the company, led by CEO Devin Nunes, has revealed what they have in mind for the planned streaming service, dubbed TMTG+. New information from a securities filing has specifically stated that certain canceled shows from the past could be brought back to join "Trump-specific programming" as well as news, sports, and other content aimed for right-wing audiences.
The filing reads: "TMTG+ intends to offer programs including, but not limited to blue collar comedy, canceled shows, Trump-specific programming, faith-based shows, family entertainment, shows that embrace the Second Amendment, and news. TMTG intends to license, produce, and deliver news, sports, and non-woke entertainment content through this platform.”
“Though similar to Netflix, Disney+, and other current offerings, TMTG intends to produce or acquire entertainment simply for entertainment’s sake," adds the filing, promising there will be no censorship. "TMTG will not censor the creators of entertainment for TMTG+, nor will it insist that its programming push some particular political ideology... TMTG+ will provide a platform for conservative and/or libertarian views, and otherwise canceled content from other broadcast television and/or digital streaming platforms."
TMTG has also launched its own social media platform similar to Twitter, which has been dubbed Truth Social. It's theorized that TMTG+ could end up getting a similar name by the time it's launched, such as TruthPlus, as TMTG has reportedly acquired the trademark for that name. The company has also acquired the domain for TrumpPlus.com, making Trump Plus (or Trump+) another possible name for the streamer. Of course, Trump is expected to appear in exclusive programming on the streamer.
“If President Trump receives a bona fide offer to be featured on any non-TMTG streaming video production or on any non-TMTG podcast platform, TMTG has the right to create a substantially similar video production or podcast opportunity on terms more favorable than those offered by the non-TMTG service providers,” TMTG also stated.
Trump Media Is Optimistic About The Streaming Service's Success
TMTG also appears to be very confident in the planned streaming service taking off. They reportedly noted at an investor presentation in 2021 that they anticipate 40 million subscribers by 2026. The company also stated that the price would likely rival Netflix's prices due to Trump's "highly enthused base."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump followers can keep up with the former president of the United States on his social media platform Truth Social. Trump has said he will never return to Twitter, even if he was reinstated, after his account was previously banned from the platform. He has since been consistently posting on his Truth Social account, having previously stated that he launched TMTG and Truth Social to "stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable.”
