'The White House has its own wire now. Read what we're reading,' read a social media post from the White House to mark the site's launch. 'It's a place for supporters of the president's agenda to get the real news all in one place,' a White House official anonymously told Axios.

The site is 'part of the Trump administration's effort to provide transparency and institute policies that put America first,' the official added. The site represents Trump's latest attempt to circumvent mainstream media, after going after legacy new organizations ranging from ABC News to the Associated Press.

On Wednesday, Trump hinted that The New York Times could be his next target, after suing CBS and ABC , from which he scored a $16 million settlement . He has also launched probes into NBC, PBS, and NPR, while punishing mainstream outlets like the Associated Press by excluding its journalists from the White House press pool.

White House Wire has a similar look to the conservative news-aggregation site Drudge Report - featuring large, all-caps headlines at the top of the page. 'TRUMP LAUNCHING HIS OWN DRUDGE REPORT USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS! ' blared a recent Drudge Report headline in response to the launch.

'IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE' read another headline. Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge joked in a statement to Status News that he's already mulling a $1 trillion lawsuit.

The Drudge Report, which launched in 1995, saw its traffic surpass that of The New York Times by 2018. Following Trump's first win in 2016, the president referred to Drudge as a 'great gentleman' and even hosted him at the White House.

However, the Drudge Report became increasingly critical of Trump, growing more oppositional through the years. Fox News contributor Dan Bongino launched his own Drudge ripoff, The Bongino Report, in retaliation to the shift.

The site insisted it would be 100 percent pro-Trump. 'Drudge has abandoned you,' Bongino tweeted at the time 'We never will.'
