Donald Trump slams Matt Drudge for reporting on claims he had a mini-stroke and was dragging his leg and demands CNN FIRE Democratic pundit for asking about his health as White House doctor denies he had brain injury
Daily Mail ^ | PUBLISHED: 18:44 EDT, 1 September 2020 | UPDATED: 19:59 EDT, 1 September 2020 | NIKKI SCHWAB, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER and GEOFF EARLE, DEPUTY U.S. POLITICAL EDITOR and EMILY

President Donald Trump slammed Matt Drudge for his website, the Drudge Report, leading with the story of how the president denied he had a 'mini-stroke' that links readers to a video where Trump is purportedly dragging his right leg.

'Drudge didn't support me in 2016, and I hear he doesn't support me now. Maybe that's why he is doing poorly,' Trump tweeted Tuesday evening. 'His Fake News report on Mini-Strokes is incorrect. Possibly thinking about himself, of the other party's "candidate,"' Trump wrote.

Trump's comments on Drudge came after his campaign demanded that CNN fire Democratic pundit Joe Lockhart, who served as White House press secretary under President Bill Clinton, for floating in a tweet that Trump was covering up a stroke.

'CNN should fire Joe Lockhart, a lifetime failure who thought it was a great idea for fellow loser Michael Dukakis to put on that stupid helmet, for knowingly pushing a conspiracy theory about President Trump's health,' a campaign statement read.

It went on to say Lockhart 'single-handedly sank the John Kerry campaign' and now he’s doing the same to Joe Biden from a distance.

'If another CNN employee said similar things about Barack Obama they’d be fired immediately, so the same standard should be applied here,' the campaign said. 'That is, of course, unless CNN is complicit in the smear campaign in order to level the playing field against Joe Biden, somebody who truly has lost a step.'

Remember, Dems and related Commies always project onto their opponents.

This means Biden is really getting incoherent when not in public and they want to do like they did with Bill Clinton “Everybody’s doing it.” They said “Every husband is secretly an adulterer. Bill’s mistakes are what everybody’s doing.”

So Biden may be having worse dementia related mental decline.

Just a thought.

Looks like Matt Drudge is trying to get site traffic. No Drudge for me, only justhenews.

There was a day that I would have seen this story as soon as it was posted on Drudge, but those days are long gone. Haven’t been to that site in at least a year.

I honestly don’t know why Drudge went from Trump love to utter Trump hate like he did, but this a bottom of the barrel low even for him, his entire “breaking news” banner was essentially a cheap unsubstantiated rumor from some site like DU that consisted of one photo that supposedly showed him dragging his foot and some conspiracy theory that he’d had a stroke (quickly refuted by Trump’s Doctors by the way).

After the elections, Trump’s DOJ should pry CNN from ATT’s wicked hands.

Federally licensed telecom must not have the right to force malice in the form of news down the throats if its monopolized subscriber base.

Drudge was changing to tabloid smut news when I dropped it a long while ago.

The LIES about @realDonaldTrump's health are DISGUSTING.

Here's the truth: As the President's doctor, I knew about this trip WEEKS in advance & it had NOTHING to do with his brain or heart.@CNN is using this as a distraction to cover for the cognitively compromised Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/n1buYx4Lx6— Ronny Jackson (@RonnyJackson4TX) September 2, 2020

POTUS was probably in for the flu shot that he mentioned he's received....only since being POTUS.

I’ve heard for a while now, that Drudge has AIDS. Maybe it’s beginning to affect him

Probably. He is close to total incoherence.
