Behold, for this video is just that.

State of the biggest, best union: Trump nightly webcast debuts tonight


Donald Trump’s Presidential campaign will deliver its first tease of a potential Trump TV network on Monday with the launch of Trump Tower Live, a web-only video series aired on Facebook Live that promises to deliver “nightly campaign coverage from Trump Tower.”


The show’s first episode will be co-hosted by official Trump campaign advisers Boris Epshteyn and Cliff Sims as well as TheBlaze political commentator Tomi Lahren. According to a report from Wired, Trump Tower Live’s premiere episode will include interviews with Trump campaign manager KellyAnne Conway and another campaign adviser, along with live footage of Trump’s Monday night speech in Tampa, Florida.



Chances are that Conway’s interview on Trump Tower Live will have a different tenor and tone than the interview she conducted with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. In her Sunday interview, she admitted that the Trump campaign is “behind” and was asked repeated questions on why Trump mentioned suing his accusers during a campaign stump speech on Saturday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
