The real estate mogul’s murky, mutually-beneficial relationship with the tabloid’s boss goes back years—and the Enquirer has been vicious to Trump’s political enemies.

More recently, Trump has earned the endorsement of the National Enquirer, one of America’s most ubiquitous supermarket tabloids on celebrity gossip and scandal.
“TRUMP MUST BE PREZ!” the endorsement reads on the cover of this week’s issue (which you can pick up for an easy $4.99). “INSIDE: VOTE FOR HIS VICE PRESIDENT!”

Along with conservative website Breitbart, the Enquirer often reads like a political ally of Team Trump. And if it sounds like that endorsement was authored by Trump’s friends, that is because, well, it sort of was.
In 2013, Trump repeatedly tweeted support for David Pecker—the CEO of American Media, Inc., which publishes the Enquirer—to be named the new CEO of Time magazine.
The tabloid has provided glowing coverage of Trump before and during this campaign. In early 2015, it excitedly reported on the “secret meetings” he was holding on launching a White House run, and his early poll numbers. In January, “America’s most popular presidential candidate” gave a two-part interview on the “most intimate details of [his] amazing life!”
Trump became a National Enquirer contributor in August, writing an op-ed on his greatness. (It would not be the last time the Enquirer would bear his byline.)
“I am the only one who can make America great again!” Trump penned. “And, on a personal note, my wife, Melania, would make a terrific first lady!”

Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. Theyre very close, said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. Hed make it exciting and win awards!
This person also said that Trumps campaign was a source for the article: His campaign provided information that was used, he explained. A Trump friend said that in the days leading up to the articles publication Trump was telling people that Carson had a lot of medical malpractice suits and almost killed a guy.
We demand another shrubbery or we will say Ni to you!

(shakes head in disgust) Yeah lets just stick our fingers in our ears and sing "la..la..la" and pretend a major story (true or not) that is all over every form of media, conservative and mainstream alike doesn't even exist. Heck Rush Limbaugh is even talking about it.
Yes! This is Yuge! If I were on the fence this endorsement would be all I needed.
Why are you posting links to stories about Sarah?
A fitting endorsement. A magazine full of BS is endorsing the candidate most full of BS.
You should go over to twitter and follow: #CruzSexScandal
There is no doubt that cruz is guilty.
From Donald Trump's very own spokesperson...
That has tag is just full of crazed desperate Trump supporters who are beginning to realize the truth that Trump will not be president.
National Enquirer endorsement? What about World Weekly News? I always look to them first to see whom I should vote for.
