Trump has not officially lost his re-election bid to Democratic nominee Joe Biden, but election results in critical swing states are certainly indicating he will.

In particular, Santucci reports, Trump is digging up his old plans to launch a "Trump TV" network with a focus on right-wing news and commentary. And Trump reportedly wants to steal some of his strongest allies from Fox — Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson — to headline it.
Trump's network plans aren't really surprising, seeing as his biggest worry in life and in the presidency has always been his ratings.
