Matt Drudge has been in the White House an awful lot these days -- "all the time," as one senior administration official puts it. He's met with President Donald Trump, spent time with Ivanka Trump, and doled out advice to Jared Kushner.
That he'd have influence in the Trump White House should not be all that surprising. The internet news tycoon, who founded and edits the Drudge Report, the narrative-setting conservative news website, has been one of Trump's most ardent supporters since Trump announced his candidacy. He boosted him through the contentious Republican primaries, helped him defeat Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton by galvanizing the GOP base, and, for the better half of his young presidency, has stayed in sync with the White House's talking points.
But Drudge is blindly loyal to no one -- which could, ultimately, make him as dangerous to this White House as he has been helpful to it.

Nonsense, he wasn’t just mirroring the MSM before. Now he is.
...yeah,because CNN said so....
Drudge has the most horribly formatted website I have ever seen. I really don’t comprehend his following....maybe it’s just me.
Says who? CNN? That’s a go to source
Drudge is and always has been an equal opportunity guy. The stories he has highlighted have been very fair to Trump. He’s gotten the leaks, the rallies, the economy, his foreign trips....I see no sign of so called souring
This article is about 2 weeks old and was posted numerous times.
Got anything a little more current?
Not quite two weeks old, yet currently very relevant.
Correct article date should’ve been posted.
I checked to see if it’s been posted, previously, and could not find it. Perhaps I missed it. Please post (numerous) links, if you have them.
I'm remaining hopeful that there are some strategic strokes in the works. Too depressing to image the DJT can't move a team and his agenda (the reasons he was elected) in the direction he wants.
Jealous much?
Could be. I see no reason to be worried yet.
Agree.
Not the same.
Not nearly the amount of conservative sites linked, as Fake News media links.
Yes she did
Why? What did he ever do to you?
Drudge has plenty of positive Trump stories too
Methinks Mr. Drudge is overreacting.
Boy are you wrong
This is an old picture. Obama had the wall around the property built quite a bit higher before he moved in. Walls for me but not for thee, it seems.
Was with Bannon & Seb Gorka Friday at the WH.
Specifically we talked Drudge-—I happened to bring him up.
Was told, “No, he’s not really left. The thing is, he REALLY hates Breitbart,” thinks BB has scooped him way too much, and he won’t link BB articles.
(Realize Andrew BB was the co-founder of Drudge). They didn’t think this was an ideological thing but business positioning cuz BB is killing Drudge on hits and page views, etc. All the metrics.
LOL, he just posts links to others news articles, this makes him a news tycoon? He was a 7-11 clerk until someone decided to feed him the Lewinsky story without which he would have probably remained a 7-11 clerk. Now he's mad at Trump for not getting onboard with the trannie agenda? Too bad let him go cry on Bruce Jenner's shoulder about it, I personally don't give a rats a$$ what he thinks.
His is a news aggregation site...it has looked the same way for 25 years ( or nearly that long).
If Drudge goes anti-Trump I will just avoid it an use /r/The_Donald on Reddit. I don’t tolerate cucks.
