The Enquirer endorsed Trump earlier this month. Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years, as New York magazine reported in December of last year. A source close to the tabloid told the magazine "they're very close." Trump even tweeted, in July 2013, that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine -- "he'd make it exciting and win awards!"
New York also reported that the tabloid supported Trump before he declared his candidacy, and attacked numerous competitors in the presidential race, from retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush to former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. The Enquirer's cover story headline against Carson? "Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left Sponge in Patient's Brain!" The article alleged that Carson -- the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins -- "brandished a scalpel like a meat cleaver!"
A bombshell like this, released by a tabloid with clear connections to Trump at a time when Trump could really use his major competition dropping out of the race, so he can gain enough delegates to win the nomination outright, is rather suspicious. Especially when Trump has promised -- to thugs who beat people up at his rallies -- that he would "pay their legal fees."
