Axios reports:
Donald Trump Jr. has inked a multiyear podcast deal with Rumble Inc., the user-generated video platform that serves as a conservative alternative to YouTube, Axios has learned.
Rumble went public via a blank check company merger in September that valued the platform at over $2 billion at the time.
With the deal, Rumble will exclusively host a new Trump Jr. podcast called “Triggered with Don Jr.” — homage to the title of his 2019 book. Like his current Rumble videos, the podcast will continue to mostly feature Trump Jr.’s riffs on news of the day.
