A weird thing happens when you look up Trump TV
If Trump doesn't make it to the Oval Office on Election Day, it appears the business mogul has a backup plan: Trump TV.
For weeks, rumors have been circulating that Trump is planning to build his own media network after the election. It seems like a natural fit for reality show star, with one small obstacle: the domain Trump.tv.
Visitors who head to www.trump.tv are greeted with the following message:
"He wasn't even organized enough to purchase this domain (or www.trump.tv) at public auction, and he wants to run the U.S.A.?" the site reads.
According to the page, Trump's attorneys reached out to the domain for trademark infringement. But the site's owner isn't backing down just yet.
"Days after I won this domain at public auction I received a letter from Trump attorneys threatening to sue me for trademark infringement for purchasing this domain. Guess who still owns the domain ... not that guy!" the site says.
On Wednesday night, Facebook users appeared to catch a glimpse of what a Trump media network would look like. Both before the debate and shortly after, fans of Donald Trump on Facebook could watch Facebook live segments featuring very pro-Trump panels.
"By far his best debate. A clear and decisive victory," one commentator said.
Or from Boris Epshteyn, one of the show's main hosts:
"The greatest Republican debate performance since Abraham Lincoln."
Finally, a cable news network dedicated 24-7 to Donald Trump -- as if that didn't basically exist already.
