Look at Sarah Palin... she was the new hotness once, now she stands in a corner jumping up and down yelling "look at me!, look at me!".
Sure he could launch Trump (Breitbart) News Network... by the time it actually got off the ground he'd be yesterdays man, even then it'll just be taking a small slice out of an ever shrinking pie that would collapse under the weight of the overhead until it became a pitifully low quality fringe product.

As with everything Trump I would assume he will license his name to Breitbart in exchange for an ownership stake and allow those investors to take the risk for the money while also drawing a huge salary for a weekly show. Then when they run out of money they will declar bankruptcy and trump will walk away with the cash from his Salary and a few hundred million in tax write offs without ever having any of his own capital at risk.
