I visit the Drudge Report every day for a look at the opposition. It has been unrelievedly pro-Trump ever since he started making waves during the primaries.
Today that all changed.
Questions:
Will it continue?
What does it mean?
The headlines above the Drudge logo as of 8:30AM EDT, 7/19/18:
TRUMP: I HOLD PUTIN RESPONSIBLE…
Confusion: Russia no longer targeting USA?
White House struggles to contain political outcry…
Damage Control on Air Force One…
Botched Summit May Protect Russia Probe…
Mueller Team In Sealed Court With Lawyers for Roger Stone Associate…
Manafort request to limit evidence: Denied…
What New Indictments Reveal About Spycraft…
Cuomo opens door to criminal case against Trump Foundation…
Unprecedented!!!
It sounds more like CNN (The Centrist News Network) than it it does Drudge.
The Drudge Report’s unwavering support of Trump has been widely credited as one of the most important aspects of his win and his continued survival in office. Is this the first real crack in the Trump wall? Has the ongoing chaos become too much for the real Trump backers? You know…the Koch Brothers-level money people? Is the word out in the swamp that Mueller has him in his crosshairs? Dead to rights? Or is it just a shot across Trump’s bows to warn him of the dangers ahead if he keeps publicly playing with pro-Putin fire?
I don’t know, myself. But I do know this…
Something in the Trump movement changed today.
Big time!!!
Let us pray that this is so.
Later…

P.S. The (Capitalized!!!) lead headline?
TRUMP: I HOLD PUTIN RESPONSIBLE…
Has Trump been given his marching orders from above?
Trump on whether he holds Putin responsible for election meddling: “I would, because he’s in charge of the country”
Last Updated Jul 18, 2018 6:04 PM EDT
President Trump told “CBS Evening News” anchor Jeff Glor Wednesday it’s “true” Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election, and he “would” hold Russian President Vladimir Putin responsible for interference.
Mr. Trump, in an exclusive interview with Glor, said he has stated “numerous times before” that he agrees Russia meddled in the 2016 election. The president’s comments come after his widely criticized press conference with Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, in which Mr. Trump appeared to say he had no reason to believe Russia interfered, which would contradict the findings of multiple U.S. intelligence agencies. Mr. Trump offered a clarification Tuesday that he had misspoken when he said that, and he accepts the findings of his intelligence agencies.

Wow!!!
He’s in trouble with his bosses!!!
Bet on it.
i would not in the least bit be surprised if the Mueller investigation is about to drop a bomb on the Trumpers. This may be well be pre-bomb damage control.
Watch.
AG, Thanks for going over to Drudge, so I don’t have to. It’s always good to see what the RW nut jobs are being fed. Now I know what my “libertarian” uncle will be spouting soon. Before the 2016 election, he told me “we need a businessman as president”. I told him we already had one businessman (Bush II) and asked how did that work out for him? He said Bush II was a politician, not a businessman. Well, my uncle has a real businessman and not a politician now!
LOL
Trump contradicting his remarks of just yesterday is SOP.
I do think and did think during the election that the powers that be (Koch’s, G-S, et al) will replace this loose cannon. As I’ve suggested before, a lone crazed gunman (preferably a liberal Democrat) will assassinate him, there will be a candlelight vigil as The People’s President lies in state in the Rotunda as thousands of mourners line the streets and President Pence swears to take up the fallen sword. Great television, big spectacle, denunciation of Democrats and Liberals. Assured Victory for the Republicans in 2020, no Enabling Acts required, solid control of the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. They get rid of the loose cannon and cement corporate control. It writes itself, like a David Baldacci novel, only without a hero to foil the plot.
I’m sure the CIA can arrange it.
The gunman might be Hispanic (danger of war with Mexico here) or Muslim (depends on how much war they want) or LBGT (better for the base, a few lynchings won’t hurt) or best of all a Green or Berniecrat to thoroughly discredit those ideas.
More prosaically, they might give him an overdose of of medicine to cause a heart attack or feed him a hallucinogen (would anyone notice the difference?) but the Fallen Hero, the People’s Prince destroyed by Evil Socialists is the best scenario.
Could be…
We won’t know until whatever happens, happens. And even then we’ll never be sure.
So it goes…
