Drudge tweets ‘You’re fired’ after Biden projected as winner
Matt Drudge tweeted “You’re fired” under a photo of President Trump, which is now the banner on his news site.
Drudge runs a conservative website but has been feuding with President Trump, and his coverage had turned critical of the Trump White House.
The rare tweet from Drudge came minutes after major networks projected Democrat Joe Biden as the winner in the presidential race.

Drudge was a big supporter of Trump throughout the 2016 campaign and often featured headlines favorable to the president and unfavorable to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
But things turned about halfway through the president’s term without explanation from Drudge, with headlines on the site overwhelmingly aimed against Trump.
The president has slammed Drudge in several tweets as a result.
Our people have all left Drudge. He is a confused MESS, has no clue what happened. Down 51%. @DRUDGE They like REVOLVER and others!
