President Donald Trump Unveils His Own News Website, The White House Wire

President Donald Trump has launched a new news aggregation website called the White House Wire, aimed at promoting positive stories about his administration. The site, unveiled on Wednesday (April 30), features headlines from outlets like Fox News and the Daily Caller, as well as content from the White House itself. According to a White House official, the site is intended to provide transparency and support the president's agenda by offering "real news all in one place."

This move comes as President Trump continues to criticize mainstream media outlets. He has previously targeted organizations such as ABC News and the Associated Press, even securing a $16 million settlement from CBS and ABC. The president has hinted that The New York Times could be his next target and has launched investigations into NBC, PBS, and NPR. Additionally, he has excluded journalists from the Associated Press from the White House press pool.

The White House Wire bears a resemblance to the Drudge Report, a conservative news aggregation site. Matt Drudge, the founder of the Drudge Report, jokingly suggested he might consider a $1 trillion lawsuit in response to the new site. The Drudge Report, once praised by President Trump, has become more critical of him over the years.
