In the latest slew of "mini-stroke" hit pieces against the president, the once-conservative Drudge Report titled its headlining story, "Trump Denies Mini-Stroke Sent Him To Hospital."
The news aggregation site sourced a CNN video of President Donald Trump allegedly dragging his right leg while touring a North Carolina laboratory back in July.
Trump on Tuesday denied the leftist spin that he suffered "a series of mini-strokes" prompting an unscheduled visit to Walter Reed hospital in November 2019. Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, even cleared his health record in a statement, affirming that Trump is "fit to execute the duties of the Presidency."
The president then called out Matt Drudge, who founded the self-titled Drudge Report, for not backing him during his 2016 presidential campaign and further diverging from conservative media.
"His Fake News report on Mini-Strokes is incorrect," Trump exposed the now-liberal news peddler. "Possibly thinking about himself, or the other party’s 'candidate.'"
Numerous conservative commentators have called out Drudge for promoting anti-Trump stories during the impeachment hoax. And in July, Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Drudge "firmly a man of the progressive left," comparing the Drudge Report founder to The Daily Beast or "any other woke propaganda outlet posing as a news company."
In early April, Trump even noted the shift in coverage, tweeting that he "gave up on Drudge...long ago, as have many others. People are dropping off like flies!"

The Drudge Report has become an embarrassing Never-Trump cringe fest
Today is sillier. Melania used a private e-mail from the White House! Yeah: the Hatch Act requires her to.
Don’t visit it. I stopped in 2017.
Drudge, isn’t that a niche site for homosexual neocons that used to be conservative?
I have not been to Drudge report for more than a year and will
never return. Liberals ruin everything.
Orange Ball Bad...
Bye-Bye...
So? It no longer exists in my world.
I haven’t been there in 10 years.
But it seems like every day there is a thread here about how much they suck. Maybe these people should just stop going there.
...oops, wrong thread.
I have removed Dudge from my bookmarks.....
Yep
People have stopped going to Drudge. He’s lost 2/3rd’s of his audience in the past 6 months.
Hey, nobody noticed!.............
Heh...I’m getting old.
Time for him to take that $500 million Google paid him and retire to the French Riviera with his boyfriend Pierre and become just another washed up ageing queen.
Yes. Drudge is the second coming of David Brock. They’re like two pees in a pot.
Free Republic is still in the left hand margin of the Drudge Report.
I hope not too many conservative pundits get suckered into this diversion play from Biden’s obvious failing mental condition. So many usually go for bait like this - disappointing.
