Is the writing is on the wall?
Has the far-white Matt Drudge decided to turn on Donald J. Trump?
The reclusive agitator of The Drudge Report has been mercilessly promoting stories that target Joe Biden but there are some of the clicks aimed at Trump.
Trump who relies on the far-white is hoping to rally folks to support him during the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry into abuse of power.
Even a Fox News poll says that 51% of Americans support impeachment and removal of Trump.
Drudge who often shows this nationalist and populist tone was an early backer of Trump's presidential campaign. He is likely to support his second term.
The stories that often are plastered on this website are pretty damn favorable to Trump.
But with the demise of Ann Coulter, InfoWars, Breitbart, Laura Loomer and Milo Yiannopoulos, Trump is losing his allies quickly.
There were signs that the honeymoon period was wearing thin in the summer of 2017, but despite some wobbliness in their relationship, Drudge ultimately seemed to be staying loyal to Trump.
At least until now.
Not only is Drudge's website aggressively covering the impeachment news, it is doing so by featuring commentary from some of the president's fiercest critics or the harshest criticism of him.
For instance, on Friday the top link on the Drudge Report, colored in red, was a link to Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano calling Trump's behavior "criminal and impeachable."
Other links Drudge featured that day included Fox host Shepard Smith suggesting Trump may have violated the law on live television and "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd saying the current scandal is a "national nightmare."
The change in tone toward Trump hasn't gone unnoticed.
