The Trump White House just shook the press pool by launching White House Wire, a new website packed with pro-Trump headlines and links the media doesn’t want you to see. Think Drudge Report—but without the anti-Trump snark.
And guess who’s not thrilled? Matt Drudge himself. The longtime news aggregator behind The Drudge Report threw a fit, claiming “It takes an entire West Wing to compete with Drudge.” He even joked about suing the Trump administration for a trillion dollars. Sounds like someone’s feeling a little threatened.
Drudge’s headlines read more like tantrums: “Trump Launching His Own Drudge Report Using Taxpayer Dollars!” He linked to Axios and Mediaite stories, where he continued the mockery—but let’s be honest, Drudge hasn’t exactly been MAGA-friendly in years.
Meanwhile, the White House is keeping it simple. On X (formerly Twitter), they posted: “The White House has its own wire now. Read what we’re reading.”

Translation? If you’re tired of CNN tears and New York Times panic, here’s where you go for the facts—straight from the source.
What’s on the Wire?
The site features link after link of real news about Trump’s wins—like massive investments in America, policy highlights from his first 100 days, and coverage the mainstream media buries. There’s even a shoutout to Trump’s ABC News interview (good luck ignoring that one, legacy media).
It also includes posts from the White House’s Rapid Response 47 X page and big headlines like:
“President Trump Celebrates MASSIVE Investments In America”
No fluff. No filter. Just Trump.
And of course, the site is showing love to the whole MAGA squad—highlighting officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. It’s a full-on showcase of America First leadership.
Axios reports that this comes as the administration cuts down access for outlets like the AP (after they refused to stop calling it the “Gulf of Mexico” instead of Trump’s preferred “Gulf of America”—which, by the way, is a total power move).
A White House official said the site is about cutting through the noise:
“It’s a place for supporters of the president’s agenda to get the real news all in one place… a one-stop shop for news… part of the effort to provide transparency and put America first.”
So while the media scrambles to clutch their pearls and file pretend lawsuits, Trump’s team is doing what they do best: cutting through the spin and giving the people what they actually want—the truth.
