This is not an insignificant development, Matt Drudge turning against Donald Trump. Drudge is considered to be the de facto assignment editor for right-wing media. The stories he picks up and runs with are the right-wing narrative on any given day. Trump reacted to Drudge going with a banner headline encouraging the idea that Trump had a stroke(s.)
Drudge didn’t support me in 2016, and I hear he doesn’t support me now. Maybe that’s why he is doing poorly. His Fake News report on Mini-Strokes is incorrect. Possibly thinking about himself, or the other party’s “candidate”. https://t.co/9FraoFqOKq

The idea that Drudge didn’t support him in 2016 is comical. Drudge supported him so much in the primaries that Ted Cruz said that the Drudge Report was an “attack site” for Trump.
Fact check: @DRUDGE strongly supported Trump in 2016, not only in the general but also in the Republican primaries.
And the last time Trump knocked Drudge's web traffic, Drudge went on record & told me his site was actually experiencing record traffic. https://t.co/MVVXX4rOUq https://t.co/oFrInUtRav

And here’s the damning video.
NEW VIDEO: President Trump wears a face mask while touring a laboratory in North Carolina Monday.

If he’s not swinging his right leg around, what is he doing?
BTW, #Strokeahontas is trending. Trump is only feeding into the frenzy. If he really didn’t have a stroke, he should just keep quiet. Too late now.
Aside from any strokes he may have had, he’s an idiot.
A real stroke victim.
Not only is the video a tell, but Trump going on endlessly about that ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV” thing and how he “aced” the cognitive test. I mean, c’mon. There’s a trail of bread crumbs here that anybody can follow.
And pence, uh, “I don’t recall.” Sure man, we believe you.
Inspector Clouseau could have put the pieces together.
Along with inspector gadget
Stories of his stroke, and ill health need to be everyday occurrences, do not let up!
I’m going to keep tabs on what Drudge says. If Drudge has abandoned Trump, Trump can abandon ship. Seriously.
And I meant in general. Trump is bringing this up himself and losing it, if Biden and Kamala wanted to really f with trump, they could hammer on this. They probably don’t need to, though, Trump is his own worst enemy.
Yup, keeping his mouth shut is on the list of things he cannot do.
Trump keep quiet, funny. Like telling the sun not to rise.
Drudge knows which way the wind is blowing: straight in Trump’s face. Like every other sane (note the absence of the word “good”) conservative out there, he’s figured that there’s no future standing with the Orange Menace.
All I see is the Black Knight’s head on the ground saying “come back & fight ” after getting his limbs & head lopped off by king Arthur.
The Black Knight stood a better chance.
Nice use of the word “stood.” 🙂
Trump gets butthurt about yet another thing today.
In other news, there’s a pandemic going strong, with a national tally number of 180,000+.
That photo of Trump is the perfect representation of his true self.
Whoa. His walk looks weird.
I worked in 2 traumatic brain injury programs. Stokes cause all kinds of funky symtoms, including that leg swinging gait, & often other probs with strength, processing info, communicating verbally, & tangential thinking. Ever try to follow his word salad & also try to remember what the original question was that he tried to answer? Exactly
