Trump met with Matt Drudge in Oval Office: report
The Hill ^ | April 27, 2017 | Rebecca Savransky

President Trump met with conservative media personality Matt Drudge in the Oval Office, Politico reported Thursday.

Trump has kept in close contact with a number of conservative media figures, the report said.

And in addition to meeting with Trump at the White House, Drudge reportedly speaks regularly with Jared Kushner, the president's top aide and son-in-law.

Earlier this month, the Drudge Report proprietor said he thinks Republicans in Congress are intentionally undermining the president with legislative and policy hurdles and obstructions.

"I suspect there's a sabotage," he said earlier this month. "Do you know Obama had the stimulus package on his desk before Inauguration Day? What did this Congress give this great man? Nothing." Drudge at the time said Trump's administration is in "crisis on many fronts," describing Congress as intent on undermining his presidency and the media as ungratefully coalescing in a campaign against the president.

I wonder if the “hate Jared” folks will start hating Drudge for talking with Mr Kushner now.

I do too. It is so apparent, they better stop or the next election will smack them down for disloyalty to the party and America. Disloyal RINOS will be challenged in their home districts. I might run myself.

I always wanted to run for an office, but after what they put you through I decided that having Mafia in my background from my grand father, I had best stay out of it...

Can you imagine being a Republican and having that come out, I would be nailed on the cross and burned like the witches of Salem...

Outstanding. Drudge has been a huge asset to the Conservative movement for years. Glad he’s receiving honors for it.

For a brief time, Drudge had a radio show. I think it was on Sunday nights. I didn’t get the impression that he was shy in his opinions or reticent to share them. I’m thinking he told the president exactly what the Republicans in Congress are up to (and probably included some details that don’t make it to his page).

I do sincerely hope that all you people that have people running for re election this next year and in the year 2020 have people in the gates ready to take out as many ‘rats’ and ‘rinos’ as you can, if not, you better get busy...

I remember listening to his radio show, but for about two months now his page Drudge Report has been weird...I know they want to take down ALL conservative sites, just wondering what threats he’s getting...

His rare appearances these days on Savage and AJ have been amazing. Drudge has a lot to say and talks a mile a minute. I'd imagine Trump got an earful 😳

We know the RINOs and GOPe are working day and night to undermine this Presidency.

The question is: what can be done about it?

The conventional route of calling/writing your representative doesn’t work.

Has anyone tried? I haven’t seen a big Conservative push to make our congress critters tow the line.

I wish he still had that radio show. I listened every week. It would give him more of a platform to give us insight rather than just linking to headlines from other sources. You have to try to read between the cryptic headlines he links to on his website to try to figure out what he is really trying to “say”. He had a Fox TV show at one time too.
