Business Insider: “Jared Kushner has been talking up the idea of starting a Donald Trump-themed news outlet or some other media company, possibly as soon as after the election, five Republicans familiar with the discussions told Insider. Kushner has floated the idea to Republicans and media types throughout the year, according to three of the people. But the increased chatter about the rise of another conservative media outlet, possibly branded under the Trump name, has kicked up even more over the past few weeks as the president’s reelection chances continue to sink.”
“The timing so close to Election Day has Trump advisors wondering if Kushner himself is anticipating a defeat much like he and others did before the president’s upset White House win in 2016. ‘There’s no doubt in my mind that Jared’s future is in building a media empire of some kind,’ one of the Republicans familiar with the nascent talks said. ‘He believes that controlling the media means controlling the policy, controlling the people.'”
