The White House on Monday launched a 24/7 video stream dedicated to President Donald Trump called “Trump TV: The Essentials Station” ― a move that came just days after Trump banned three major media outlets from the White House.

Kaelan Dorr, a deputy assistant to the president, tweeted that the broadcast would be “a 24/7 livestream of the Administration’s greatest hits, unfiltered” to be shown on YouTube and within the White House app. But critics are already dismissing Trump TV as an endless feed of straight-up government propaganda.

The White House celebrated the launch with a video featuring clips of shows such as “The Office,” “Seinfeld,” “Friends” and “SpongeBob SquarePants,” all set to a remix of The Buggles’ 1979 hit, “Video Killed the Radio Star.”

The president and the White House often use songs and videos without permission.

The feed itself is, as promised, nothing but Trump. On Monday evening, for example, it replayed Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year. Fewer than 2,000 people were tuned in, according to YouTube’s metrics.

Given Trump’s latest brazen attack on the press, critics on social media were in no mood for an “unfiltered” feed of the president presented by the White House, and they hit back on X:

There are a thousand disturbing things about this, and one of them is that not a single person in the White House has watched TV since 2005. https://t.co/A8HsyT91CG

The fact that he calls it 'trump TV' tells me it'll go bankrupt in less than a year.

Pravda. State TV. 24/7 propaganda. He’ll use this to try and get you to comply when he either loses or refuses to even hold an election in 2028. https://t.co/s3spzxI0fH

Things are more expensive than ever; people are struggling to put food on the table while having to work multiple jobs; AI is threatening the livelihood of so many....So what's the United States government focused on? State-run media. There's no way of saving this https://t.co/srneteG7BD

State-controlled media, state-owned companies, state-provided checks to citizens… isn’t there a name for this? You know, when the state controls media, owns the means of production, and redistributes wealth and conducts resource allocation… https://t.co/GPxblMr3kz
