Speculation about Donald Trump’s post campaign career if he loses the US election has centred around some sort of TV network and forays by his allies into Facebook live streaming have given us a hint at what it might look like. However, if the latest attempt - Live from Trump Tower, is anything to go by, they may have to do a lot more to become the darling of the alt-right. As our reviewer put it:
“There is no discernible entertainment value to be had in Live from Trump Tower, unless your idea of a good time is significantly less professional than InfoWars, but with fewer insane people removing articles of clothing.”
