Here is a sampling of Trump-related headlines featured on the Drudge homepage Monday morning:

Recent Breitbart articles have slammed new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci's “week of blunders,” argued against Trump's suggestion that the Senate should eliminate the filibuster and called out the “hypocrisy” of the president's Twitter campaign against Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Trump complained last week that Sessions has not pursued a criminal prosecution of Hillary Clinton, “but Trump himself was the one who flip-flopped on whether to prosecute Clinton,” Breitbart noted. After the FBI recommended no charges related to Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state, Trump said his Democratic opponent would “be in jail" if he were president. Once he won, however, Trump abandoned the “lock her up" mantra that supporters chanted at campaign rallies.

Limbaugh also criticized Trump's attack on Sessions last week, calling it “unseemly.”

“I hate to see him being treated this way," Limbaugh said of the attorney general.

Limbaugh's remarks were widely noted in the press, which prompted an interesting response from the talk radio host:

They have their desires in the media. They are desperate for Trump's “loyalists” to begin to peel away. … And they are hoping that we have had enough and that we are ready to withdraw and we are ready to admit that we’ve seen the light, that Trump was a mistake, that Trump is this or that. That’s it, and so they present these comments: “If you’ve lost Rush Limbaugh … ” Trump hasn’t lost me. I don’t think he looks at it that way. I mean, I certainly haven’t signed up with the Democrats.

I'm not so sure about the “desires” Limbaugh assigned to the press, but he is right that journalists — including this one — are watching closely to see whether Trump's media boosters will stand by everything that he does, try to hold him accountable from the right or turn away altogether.
