Drudge Dumps Trump After Charlottesville Riots and Deadly Racist Attack
The Gateway Pundit ^ | August 12, 2017 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/12/2017 7:42:06 PM PDT by Trump20162020

It’s been a little over 200 days since Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
The president has been under a constant media assault since he first stepped into the Oval Office.

The media attacks have been constant, brutal and often fictitious.
But it now looks like he has lost Matt Drudge.

The Drudge Report headline on Saturday reads: “Make America Hate Again”.
Obviously, Drudge is pushing responsibility for Saturday’s race riots and deadly assault on President Trump.
It took six months for President Trump to lose his most influential supporter.
This is a very sad development.

No one knows where Drudge gets all his money.
Sure advertising. But we don’t know if he is getting income. Big income
for running certain stories or headlines.

What exactly has Trump done to cause this?
Tell me, because I would like to know.

I don’t see it that way either....Drudge is simply repeating what the left is doing....he’s posted as that before...I think people jumped too quick on this.

I strongly suspect Drudge is getting paid by Bezos..given the number subscriber only WaPo articles he is linking to lately. Similar stories are freely available on other sites. WaPo is one of the sewers of the FakeNews media.

Thank you Thank you! Until I read your post I did not know about Liberty Daily. I visited the site a few minutes ago. It looks good. I have bookmarked it-it is my replacement for Drudge.

Drudge is giving President Trump a well deserved spanking. Trump stubbornly refused to single out for denunciation the Nazis and white nationalists marching in Charlottesville.

Yes he denounced all violence and hatred, but the presidential moment called for the Nazis and white nationalists to be denounced by the President of the United States.

I agree, but it sure seems silly of Drudge to do this. His goal is making money—unfortunately, grandstanding with catchy headlines that imitate Trump is probably not the way to go, but Drudge has his own ideas.

I dumped Drudge and am thrilled with this new replacement.,,so much better. Same format, same fonts, etc.

And doesn't refresh the page every freaking minute.

The big issue here is the aggressive street putsch mentality of the socio anarchists of Antifa, BLM, Occupy Wall Street (wonder what ever happened to them) and Obama’s Organizing for America (answer to previous questions)

They arrive looking for a fight and eventually they are going to get it.

Was this a “white supremacist” rally or just a few people protesting the destruction of Civil War monuments?

Certainly the headline alludes to MAGA...but there is not necessarily any equivalence being made. It could be that he meant it as a macabre contrast; like saying "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you" is not the same as insisting that Jesus would approve of such an ethic.

Drudge played absolutely no part in getting Trump elected, and I'm having a hard time remembering him being any kind of supporter at all.

I stopped looking at Drudge when so many of his headlines went to WaPo or NYTimes. I don’t want to read their propaganda even if it is free.

Me too!

Another FReeper, on a different Drudge thread, gave the link, and I really like it. Liberty Daily is now the place I am going to for headlines, AWA OANN.

I’m guessing someone with deep pockets funded a number of groups, most of whom did not knew about the others.

1. The Occupy group with as mission to act like they always act.

2. The Cali group with a mission to attack anything and everything like they did at the Cali colleges. Bounties for injuring someone from Group 1.

3. The people plus support who drove the car into the crowd with no regard for anyone - motive and rewards, I don’t know.

4. Terry McCauliffe to act like the asshole he is and continue his run for higher office by asking for calm when he is really a part of the whole scheme.

Whose deep pockets? A number of names come up in my mind: McAuliffe was a high aide to the Clintons. Obama would like to create chaos for Trump to handle. Soros is always happy to make things difficult for Republicans.

My money is on Hilarious, she never knows when to fold her tent.

Don’t get too hasty to dump on Drudge. He saw a word play and he used it. It doesn’t necessarily refer to Trump but may be a comment on the leftists. We know now and he surely knows that the Charlottesville fracas was a staged piece and our side was not in on the staging.
