REPORT: WH Told Warner CEO To Give Junior A Show

The Daily Beast reports:

Media giant Warner Bros. Discovery was reportedly offered a way into President Donald Trump’s good graces: give his son Donald Trump Jr. his own show. Specifically, someone in the “Trump orbit” told the company that the first son would like to host a nature show on Discovery, according to a sprawling new profile of WBD’s CEO, David Zaslav, written by Michael Wolff for New York magazine.

“The reported message was to look at the example of Amazon and Jeff Bezos paying Melania Trump $40 million to participate in a documentary about herself,” he continued. “Don Jr. might like a hunting and fishing show on the Discovery Channel, they were told. And that CNN could have more pro-Trump voices.”

In a statement to the Daily Beast, White House communications director Steven Cheung said: “Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s–t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
