Then later that morning, 22 people died and 24 more were injured in the El Paso, Texas mass shooting. About 12 hours later, 10 died and 27 were injured in the Dayton,Ohio mass shooting.
That’s when Drudge’s tone toward the president shifted. Among the upper-left headlines on August 5 was this one: “After pair of mass shootings, Trump remains out of sight . . .” August 6 featured a “Bubble Popping?”warning regarding the stock market and the U.S. economy in general—a key indicator of Trump’s re-election chances. August 8 included an upper-left Rasmussen poll showing only 47 percent approval for Trump—a relatively low number compared to Rasmussen’s customary daily figures.
Then on August 9, the Drudge Report declared in its main headline “Red Flag: NRA Warns Trump,” and the following day Drudge posted three morestinging headlines right next to a smiling Barack and Michelle Obama:
· “Trump sides with Kim criticism of US-SKorea war games . . .”
· “Trump boasted of rally crowd size during El Paso hospital visit . . .”
· “Gallup: Approval 42% . . .”
Drudge’s August11 edition included a “Senior Voters Wavering on Trump?”headline and the same 42 percent Gallup poll, while August 12 promoted former White House Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci’s warning that Trump will “turn ‘on everyone’ and then‘entire country’ . . .” And today’s edition includes a lukewarm “TRUMP NEUTRAL” pronouncement preceding a headline highlighting Chinese protesters’“BATTLE FOR FREEDOM.”
That’s not to say one Republican’s loss is a Democrat’s gain. Throughout his journalistic reign, Drudge has rarely let up on the left.
Yet this past week’s coverage of the president has been unusually tough.Yes, it could revert to “normal” tomorrow with a glowing headline about Trump’s leadership, or a red-meat quote of Trump trashing a notable Democrat. But since the mass shootings, conservatives’ favorite online resource has attacked Trump in ways normally reserved for Democrats.

They suck, so they deserve to be lost
Drudge stated his move left a long time ago...
I'm sure that David Brock is behind Matt Drudge all the way...
“Pack Fudge”
I have read Drudge since ‘97, his instincts are the best.
Average site, at best.
Levin says Drudge is a national treasure.
LMAO.
The Fudge Report has always been anti-Trump.
Too many links and popups on Liberty Daily. He also copies the exact style of the Drudge Report and even calls himself the Drudge Report. That’s why that site will never take off
I know . . . too much click-baits, but what I like is he doesn’t use politically correct adjectives to discuss the lefty morons.
Drudge was a HUGE trump supporter in 2016. Was still reliably conservative/populist and anti-conventional wisdom. What happened? Drudge reads no different than CNN nowadays.
