Matt Drudge was a pretty reliable defender of Donald Trump for a while, but in recent months, he’s gotten a bit … less inclined to give Trump the benefit of the doubt.
Today, Drudge is pretty salty with the president:
wow Trump has totally lost Drudge, look at homepage now

Here it is:
Drudge is referring to reports that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen paid an IT firm tens of thousands of dollars to rig polls — including Drudge polls — in Trump’s favor in 2015 at Trump’s behest:
As for the @WSJ article on poll rigging, what I did was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. I truly regret my blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve it.

Matt Drudge is not the kind of guy who takes kindly to being manipulated.
I love that Trump trying to game a Drudge poll is getting the 9/11 red font treatment at Drudge https://t.co/2w0LcJIdwx
