Trump Considers Replacing Legacy Media with Independent Journalists in White House Briefing Room

President-elect Donald Trump may replace mainstream media journalists with those from podcasts or YouTube.

Donald Trump Jr. revealed the plan to The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles.

“I wonder now as your father is assembling his team, as maybe Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, maybe it’s time to reorder that chart and maybe take away some people’s seats,” Knowles said.

“We’re gonna break some news here,” Trump Jr. responded. “I literally had this conversation with — I was flying back, I was on the plane with my father, I think it was coming back from the SpaceX launch with Elon last week. And we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.”

“We had the conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists,” he added.

Trump Jr. quoted his father as saying, “That’s a great idea, Don.”

“So that may in the works,” he said, adding, “We’ll see.”
