Donald Trump Jr. has landed a massive deal with the free speech-focused video and podcasting platform Rumble.
President Trump’s son signed a seven-figure, multi-year deal with the video platform, according to multiple media reports.
The younger Trump is one of the most popular content creators on the growing network.
Rumble will now exclusively host a new Trump Jr. video podcast called “Triggered with Don Jr.”
That was the title of his 2019 best-selling book.
The live show will air twice per week beginning the week of January 23rd and will compete with not only podcasts, which don’t normally air live, but television according to Rumble’s CEO.
The difference will be that the show will be broadcast live in a dedicated timeslot.
Trump Jr. joined Rumble in early 2021 and now has over 1 million subscribers.
“While other Big Tech companies are focused on censoring dissent, Rumble is building a platform that welcomes it, which is why so many content creators — all over the political spectrum — are now joining them,” Trump Jr. said.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said:
“Due to the live nature of Don’s podcast and others like it on our platform, I view our podcasts as something that won’t just compete with other podcasting networks, but will also compete with traditional linear television in the long term.”
Rumble has signed exclusive deals with other big names as the company takes on the competition including Russell Brand, Glenn Greenwald, and YouTuber David Freiheit.
Rumble went public in September, as Slay News reported at the time.
According to Axios:
“Rumble has developed a relationship with Truth Social, the Twitter-like social platform created by Trump Jr.’s father, former President Trump.
“For example, Truth Social said it would join Rumble’s new ad platform as its first publisher last year.”
