The “Triggered with Don Jr.” Podcast begins the week of Jan. 23rd.
Donald Trump Jr. told radio host Joe Pags that he’s motivated to start the podcast because of how the mainstream media covers the news.
“With the media, you’re never going to get the true story; you’re going to get a watered-down version of the truth,” he said. “I am doing this on Rumble because I think people want to hear what I have to say.”
Rumble is a mostly conservation platform. According to Pew Research, roughly three quarters of those who get their news from Rumble identify as Republicans. Most of Rumble’s prominent accounts are run by individuals, not organizations, and about a quarter have been banned or demonetized on other social media sites.
“It would’ve been a lot easier to shut up and build buildings and be invited to the cool people’s party but that’s not who I am,” Trump Jr. said. “There’s just so few people out there that have the guts to say this stuff.”
“I know that we were talking about Telegram a year or two ago and you got a million followers on that platform now you’re over a million on Rumble,” said Pags.
“We need debate in this country,” he added. “I was watching “60 Minutes” and they were saying how disgraceful that there was a debate in Congress. I think people are sick of the prebaked answers from the DNC and even the RNC.”
