MAGA news and propaganda sites have blossomed since President Donald Trump first descended his escalator and entered U.S. politics. But their success appears to still be inextricably connected to Trump \u2014 and they\u2019re not doing well in Trump\u2019s twilight months.<\/p>\n

The New York Sun reports news publications \u201cbuilt on harvesting clicks from MAGA supporters are fading as President Trump begins his final act in American politics,\u201d and their web traffic \u201cis falling across the board.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trend is lending credence to the president\u2019s prediction that the press will miss him when he\u2019s gone, with those who advocate for his movement hardest hit,\u201d reports the Sun, adding that an analysis by Similarweb found that a whopping 90 percent of the top right-wing sites saw drops in visits between May 2025 and May 2026. <\/p>\n

\u201cTraffic to all of the top 20 sites monitored by TheRighting, which aggregates headlines from conservative outlets, saw double-digit declines,\u201d said the Sun. \u201cThe Daily Wire, Blaze, and Federalist suffered falls of 47, 46, and 52 percent respectively. The Washington Free Beacon\u2019s visits dropped 38 percent and the Daily Caller\u2019s 33 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s certainly an alarming development for legacy media outlets on both the right and left but not a surprising one,\u201d the president of TheRighting, Howard Polskin, told the Sun.<\/p>\n

Of the Top 20, only the Epoch Times and Truth Social registered single digit losses \u2014 but Epoch Times focuses its coverage on opposing China, while Truth Social, of course, is Trump\u2019s personal social media platform.<\/p>\n

Worse for MAGA sites, The Sun reports if Democrats retake Congress in November, as predicted, they will set the agenda in the midterms and challenge Trump\u2019s dominion over the news cycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cPutting [Trump\u2019s] name in a headline will no longer be enough to earn a windfall of clicks,\u201d reports the Sun, adding that The Pew Research Center reported the percentage of podcasts has doubled from 2020. This means \u201cthere are more publications than ever chasing a shrinking audience for MAGA content,\u201d according to the Sun.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Sun reports \u201cwhen a team is losing, fans tune out, choosing to spend time on pursuits less aggravating than endless, post-game obituaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNews websites that built their audiences on Mr. Trump never made the connection that\u2019s key to keeping people coming back regardless of who\u2019s in the White House,\u201d said the Sun. \u201cAs this president\u2019s time in office ticks down, expect the decline in traffic to accelerate, and news organizations to learn the folly of making their success dependent on who wins elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
