Trump Praises Right Side Broadcasting Network From Air Force One
Trump calls RSBN's rally coverage “magnificent” while traveling to Arizona and Montana.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump praised Right Side Broadcasting Network from aboard Air Force One, calling the outlet’s rally coverage “magnificent” as he prepared to land in Arizona ahead of a stop in Montana.
Trump singled out the network’s interviews with supporters waiting in line, describing the attendees as “Great Americans” who “built this Country.”
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “I’m watching Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) from Air Force One. They do a magnificent job of covering the Rallies, including the Interviews of people in lines that stretch for miles. So fascinating to see — So exciting! I love the Interviews they do of the people that are in line. Great Americans — They built this Country! There is Great Love and Respect in the air. Landing in Arizona now, then Montana. See you soon! Trump” on October 14, 2026 at 3:52 PM ET.
This is Trump’s first message released today, and the last post was 2 days ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 45 of his 564 posts over the last 30 days classified as Personal Praise, Greetings & Tributes posts.
Right Side Broadcasting Network, commonly known as RSBN, operates as an independent media outlet that livestreams Trump rallies and political events. The network built its audience by providing uninterrupted coverage of Trump campaign events, often beginning hours before the main speeches. Trump’s shout-out from Air Force One amounts to a direct endorsement of the network’s editorial approach, amplifying its visibility to his followers on truthsocial.

The post revealed Trump’s travel itinerary for the day, confirming stops in Arizona and Montana. Trump described the atmosphere at his rallies as filled with “Great Love and Respect,” framing the events as celebrations of patriotism rather than standard political gatherings. The two-state swing suggests back-to-back public appearances, though Trump did not specify cities or venues for either stop.
Rally coverage has served as a recurring subject in Trump’s public messaging. Networks that provide extended live coverage of his events have historically received favorable mentions from Trump, who views crowd size and supporter enthusiasm as indicators of political strength. RSBN has occupied a particular niche by streaming full events without commercial interruption, a format that distinguishes it from traditional cable news coverage.
The two-day gap between this post and Trump’s previous message on truthsocial marked an unusual pause given his average of 18 posts per day since taking office in January 2025. Trump offered no explanation for the silence, resuming his activity with the praise for RSBN as he traveled westward aboard the presidential aircraft.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
