Amid speculation that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump plans to start a television network if he loses the election, the Twitterverse took to speculating on what wouldn’t make the cut on Trump TV.

The rumors intensified on Monday after Trump launched a newscast on Facebook Live, the social media platform’s live-streaming feature, USA Today reported.

Trump did a similar broadcast on Facebook Live before last week’s third presidential debate.

Supporters of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton used the hashtag #rejectedTrumpTVShows to poke fun at the bombastic billionaire’s potential next effort. 

Trump supporters tried to one-up Clinton backers, with show suggestions based on her character and her family’s political history.
