It’s no secret that Matt Drudge (or whoever is running Drudge Report now) hates Donald Trump. The site that was in every conservatives’ bookmarks for years fell from grace when its true leftist love started appearing shortly after Donald Trump’s first victory.

After his third victory (2020 stolen election notwithstanding), Drudge and his famous report are suffering. All of his top links are gone. Only the one headline remains above the columns: “WORLD IN SHOCK”.

It links to a generic Associated Press election coverage story.

There have been many theories about what happened to him and whether he still operates the site. My personal conspiracy theory is one I haven’t shared often but I believe it to be the truth. This is a THEORY, one that I could neither test nor prove. And while it’s possible that someone else bought it or that he’s being blackmailed (the two most prevalent theories), I believe he’s finally just showing his true colors after decades of pretending to be a conservative.

Matt Drudge, in my humble opinion, was always a radical leftist. He found great success in the Clinton years and realized he could build a juggernaut by pandering to a conservative audience. He wasn’t necessarily “controlled opposition” because I do not believe anyone controlled him at all. He did what he did, hired actual conservatives to work some of the shifts on his site, and pretended to be likeminded.

But the reclusive man was only doing it for the money and/or power.

When 2015 rolled around, he wanted Bernie Sanders to win. Attacking Hillary Clinton was easy for him but he wanted to select the GOP candidate he thought Bernie could most easily beat. As was the case with so many leftists, they saw bombastic businessman Donald Trump as an easy target with a ton of baggage who could never win in the general election.

Like Stephen Colbert, Joe Scarborough, “The View,” and other leftist media personalities, Drudge embraced Trump early as his preferred GOP candidate. But while the known leftists quickly flipped on Trump the moment he became the nominee, Drudge was forced to embrace him.

And he did. But until the moment Trump was elected the first time, Drudge did not believe he could actually win. His plan was to show support for Trump and keep in with the conservative crowd, then go back to business as usual once Clinton won the general election.

But she didn’t win. Drudge was shocked. He started questioning his existence as someone living a lie. What made it worse is that many leftist publications cited him specifically in the post-mortems trying to explain how Trump won. Many of them called Drudge Report out as one of the biggest reasons for Hillary’s defeat.

That hit Matt Drudge hard. So he reassessed, realized he had plenty of money, and determined he needed to be true to himself. His Bernie-loving posts started in 2017 and the transition from a conservative beacon to a leftist shell of its old self began.

The site that used to regularly link to The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart, and Western Journal abandoned those stories in favor of Yahoo, MSN, and Washington Post. Today, the closest he comes to linking to a “conservative” site is the DailyMail, and usually only non-political reports.

So it’s fitting that his headline following Trump’s win is “WORLD IN SHOCK”. That’s not true. It’s just him and his fellow leftists who are in shock over Trump’s victory.
