Looks like he is just thinking for himself and did not sell

Matt Drudge, the founder of the Drudge Report, appeared to distance himself from President Trump and from his previous support for the current commander in chief.
Drudge, whose site rose to prominence during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, was asked about the apparent shift his site took by Columbia Journalism Review's Bob Norman. The reporter visited Drudge's home in Florida so he could ask him about the current administration, but Drudge didn't answer when Norman knocked. He did answer his phone when Norman called him after leaving his property, according to a CJR article by Norman, which was published on Wednesday.
They talked briefly, and Norman said he told Drudge, 53, that he "was curious about his current thoughts on Trump."
“You and everybody else,” Drudge answered, according to Norman, who then pointed out that he went "all in on Trump during the [2016] election."
“That was three years ago,” the founder of the aggregate website responded. Norman noted that Drudge's "response seemed rather telling, a clear distancing from the president."
Trump has noticed Drudge's apparent shift, according to a report in the Daily Beast published last November. Trump asked, "What's going on with Drudge?" according to a person familiar with his private remarks. Trump also asked Jared Kushner, his son-in-law and a top administration official, to contact him to repair the relationship, but it's unclear if Kushner did.

Someone bought Drudge Report. Use to be a decent source of unbiased news. It’s the same propaganda as the others now.
