Trump has a lot of banker friends. And a tremendous ability to bring in money, from both his businesses and his political followers. Initially he would only need some private investors or private equity funds, and once a platform was profitable, he would have no trouble getting commercial bank lending or other services. Doubt he'd want investment banks, because he probably wouldn't ever want to take it public -- that's never been part of his business strategy in the past.
I'm hoping he'll set up his own social media platform, or buy Parler or Gab and turn it into something really big and effective.

Read through this recent tweet from Trump (apparently didn't stay up long):

He IS thinking about building a platform of his own!
