Trump and the Nat. Enquirer chief are buddies? (10/2015)

“Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. “They’re 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. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”
This person also said that Trump’s 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 article’s publication Trump was telling people that Carson “had a lot of medical malpractice suits” and “almost killed a guy.”
Trump’s spokesperson, Hope Hicks, told me “there’s absolutely no truth” to the claim Trump was behind the article. When I asked the Enquirer for comment, Pecker said it was “utterly false” that the Trump campaign was their source. “
I hope everyone realizes that if you are going with Trump, you’ve also got Alex Jones and Roger Stone. Expect some more crap pies.
Haha. Utterly false that the Trump campaign is their source, and yet one of the supposed women is Trump’s campaign spokesperson.

I don’t believe this for 3 reasons:
1. Breitbart had the story and sat on it.
2. Anonymous was talking about the story.
3. If Trump had this story, he would have put it out before Idaho and Utah—or even the Bible belt states where it would have helped.
