“The White House has its own wire now,” the post stated. “Read what we’re reading.”
The wire provides headlines and links to news articles and social media that paint President Donald Trump in a favorable light, such as a Fox Business article titled “Who’s investing in America? 23 big companies that just promised billions under Trump” and a social media post by Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka touting that 47 hostages were released in Trump’s first 100 days in office.
All of the articles included in the site are meant to paint Trump in a favorable light, and there is no mention of the news that Michael Waltz, his national security adviser, would be leaving his position, one of the top stories on Thursday.
The Washington Examiner was one of several outlets that the new wire linked to. In this particular instance, it was an article about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issuing a warning to Iran over supporting the Houthis.
In response to the new wire, the Drudge Report, which used to be friendly with Trump but has turned more critical, gave a shout out to the White House’s wire service.
“IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE…” wrote the Drudge Report. “DEVELOPING: TRUMP LAUNCHING HIS OWN DRUDGE REPORT… USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!”

Matt Drudge made a joke to Axios, which first reported the site, that he just might sue the Trump administration.
“I’m considering a $1 trillion lawsuit!” Drudge said.
